I don't get it...

Okay, so I thought you were suppose to be full of energy in the 2nd trrmester? lol...I am at work (thankfully my husband and I own our own flooring store) and I am literally struggling to keep my eyes open for the past 2 hours! Is is because I am almost in my 3rd trimester maybe? I just get so worn out lately, so much faster than normal. I feel like there are never enough hours in the day to get things done that I need to do...anyone else feel like this? I have another hour before I can go home and man...I think I will just crawl into bed when I get there! I feel so sluggish too....also having a hard time breathing because the baby has decided to be in ribs today! lol. =)  The joys of pregnancy!!

I run the front office for a land surveying co. , so I can't sneak a snooze in. I have threatened to move the clock forward so I can leave early.....lol. Yeah I wouldn't be so tired if I could keep off the computer. Every now and again they got me running all over the office. Then I don't notice how tired I am.......

So I'm not the only one!! lol. yea Lois....I keep telling my husband I need a bed in my office....he just laughs at me! but I am totally serious!! lol. =) Thankfully noone else works here, I am the only one, so I just kick back in my chair...but it's just not that comfortable anymore. You would think because I don't have to do a whole lot during the day at work, I would be okay, but it actually makes me sleepier! Maybe it's the computer too! hehe. Maybe my body is just preparing me for when the baby arrives....gotta get use to sleepless nights and all!

I've been trying to stay awake at work...luckily I'm in a cubicle and can get a lil snooze on, but it's sucking the energy outta me!!! Everyone is so nice they're always asking me if i'm hungry and all the time YES!!! I get so drowsy just sitting here at my computer.  I wish I could take a good nap everyday, but only on the weekends...now I can't even stay awake on the passenger seat...can't keep anybody company in the car anymore, you know? lol

It sounds like you stay really busy...I'd make my husband put a day bed in the back.....lol. I work for my father in law. I'm still trying to convince him we need one of those sleep pods in the spare office....Yeah! He's not going for that one...I get spurts of energy and then just run out of steam. I'm not taking a three hour nap when I get off anymore...I guess my husband appreciates that. Him and the kids get to eat on time now...Well, kick back and rest up tonight. Our job is never done! :)

Ugg I totally get you. I am tired ALL the time. I take 2 naps a day plus sleep at least 8 hours. I can never seem to stay awake and I used to be a night owl.
I am 15 weeks and things just don't seem to be getting better. lol

lol...Someone told me this saying once....first 3 months are dreary, next 3 months are cheery, and the last 3 months are weary. I've been weary the whole time it seems! lol. I hear ya SilverCheer...I go through spurts where I can clean the whole house and get thnigs ready for the baby, but only because I have to not because I have the energy to actually do it. haha. =)

Girl, I STAY exhausted during pregnancy.  If I didn't have to crawl out of bed some days I'd just stay there.  I'm just now getting ready to enter my 2nd trimester...and right now I'm so friggin tired its not funny.
