together we're heavy

i never knew what it was to be tired. staying up all night at a slumber party has NOTHING on being pregnant! at least then, you could take a nap, feel somewhat rested, sleep that evening, and wake up good as new. being pregnant is a whole different ball game. now, i fall asleep after about 1 tv show in the evenings (about 6:30), sleep on the couch for an hour or so, wake up still tired, eat a little dinner, try to watch another show, but wind up falling asleep again by 9:30 or 10. this past weekend was a prime example. i got home from work on friday, so happy that it was the weekend. i perch myself in my usual spot to invest in a night of tv watching with elliott. at 7:30 pm, i was asleep. i woke up at 10. i stayed awake in a foggy haze for about 1 1/2 hours, and was in bed by about 11:30, and woke up at 8 AM. that afternoon, we took a nap for 2 hrs. i was back in bed that night by about 10:30. i spend my waking hours at work. this is getting me down a little because i want to be awake to spend time with people that i actually want to be around, like my husband...alas, i am required to stay awake at work, and therefore am asleep after only a couple of hours of being home. i hope you people who told me this would pass by about week 14 weren't lying, or i may have to come and hunt you down!
on a lighter note, i reluctantly tried on some of my pre-pregnancy jeans and although they used to be loose, they still FIT! i don't mean "fit" like they are tight, but i will squeeze...i mean they are actually still comfortable to wear. YAY!!!
