But lately, I haven't even been able to make it past 9 o'clock without yawning every couple minutes, not to mention the naps.
I usually can't sleep during the day but yesterday, I fell asleep to Despicable Me. I don't remember anything past the line "Justin, you get back here!" I feel really bad that I fell asleep on baby duty, even though when I did fall asleep, she was cuddled up next to me. Thankfully it was only about 5 and Chris comes home at 5:30, so she didn't have a chance to get into TOO much trouble, but I guess Chris came up to the bedroom, saw me sleeping, turned off the computer, changed into un-work clothes, and even kissed me on the forehead. I didn't wake up until 6:30, and went right back to bed at 10. Usually, I'm a very light sleeper. My cat meowing downstairs will wake me up. So to have him kiss me and make noise in the room is very weird for me. But hey, I am making a baby in my belly, which I guess is much more exhausting the second time around! Hah!
Oh, on a side note, my guest blog post for IntelliGender went up today here. I hope that you read it, and if you are one of those women who have gone through even a single miscarriage, that you take away at least a little bit of hope from it. I didn't write it to garner sympathy and pity from the online community, I didn't write it to play the woe-is-me card, I wrote it in the hopes that other women going through this tragedy, or even those that haven't gone through it, will know that there is life after miscarriage, and it's not impossible to have more children afterwards. This pregnancy is a testimony to that. At 5 weeks and 2 days, I couldn't be happier (despite being so tired). Sleeping as much as I need do, light walking exercise, taking my prenatal's and eating properly… That's all anyone can really do, and I hope desperately that this is the one to stick and make it through the whole 9 months.
If you are pregnant, rub that belly for me. If you have children, hug and kiss them!
