By the end of the day lately, I am wiped. Today is worse than usual. Iโve had a few moments throughout the day where I feel like Iโm just so sick of feeling sick that I wonder if this will ever lift. Of course, it will. Itโs just hard to see that from inside this fog where every single day Iโve been on and off nauseous all day, headaches, achy, fatigued, and yet still working full time, momming, doing laundry and chores and dishes and cooking. Today I feel so bloated and physically uncomfortable. This little baby is taking it out of me way more than pep ever did.
I know I should be grateful, of course, for the little human growing inside me, and I am. Of course I am. But Iโm also so ready to just start feeling better. Itโs amazing how much more difficult routine tasks become when youโre nauseous and have a headache and canโt really take anything for either. So thankful for the end of the first trimester, which is looming closely in the next week or so.
