Just Plain Tired

I have not been sleeping well at ALL. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed or how late I sleep in. Usually I end up waking up in the middle of the night and not able to fall back to sleep until it's almost time to get up. I end up spending most of my day sitting or lying down on the couch while the kids run around me.

It doesn't help how hot it's been. And I have tried to force myself and the kids outside on a few of the cooler days. We all get bored and tired rather quickly and end up back in the house. I should try to put together more play dates or something for them to at least get them MOVING. I guess we have sort of had some "accidental" play dates. I have watched kids for two friends here two days in a row, but I stayed on the couch while the chaos ensued. I don't think they minded.

The up and down of the weather pressure has also been giving me some major sinus headaches. Teeth-hurting, eye-stabbing pain that has also kept me down for the count. Even if I weren't pregnant, I would have had issue being up and around on those days.

The hunger is driving me nuts, too. I get hungry, but nothing sounds good to eat. I start to eat something, get half-way through it, and then it is no longer appetizing--but I'm still hungry! I am eating mostly carbs (crackers, toast) to fill up those corners--and I'm eating fruit.

I am still pondering when to tell certain folks since I hate to be hasty. I get nervous about telling people--specifically family members--and then have it all crashing down around my ears a week later. If only I could have access to an ultrasound every day just to take a quick peek to make sure that all is going as it should be. But then I'd probably get obsessed and be checking every five minutes. Ah! The uncertainty of the first trimester! Such fun!
