Week 9 in Review:
Well, for the past several weeks I've been reading in all my pregnancy books and websites about the "extreme fatigue" that most people feel throughout these weeks. Huh? Yea, I felt tired a day here and there, but nothing major! For goodness sakes, I had been walking several miles on the trail and feeling full of energy!!
Well, week 9 can be summarized quite simply:
Tired + Hungry = Week 9
Yep, I feel SO tired and feel hungry about 90% of the day!! I'm not complaining, because I am SO thankful that I don't have morning sickness, but I must say that this fatigue is rough on me! I am SO not used to sitting around feeling tired! I'm like the queen of productivity and energy, but uhf--not this week!
Oh, and eating--I've always had a good appetite, but holy cow--I get done eating and ten minutes later I feel like I could eat again!!
I had classes for school 3 days this week and that was good--sorta got me fired up to teach again--and I got to tell more of my work friends the baby news--but once I got home from the workshops, I was pretty much done for the day!
This weekend we get to tell the last of our family--Mike's aunt and uncle and cousins! We are going to Darrell's cabin for the weekend. Sounds like it will be fun, but hopefully I can work up some energy by then! : /

| Week 9 |
I think I notice a tiny baby bump--nothing major, but I definitely think my lower belly looks a little puffier than it did a month ago! All those past sit-ups done in vain! Ha ha ha! Baby MUST be doing something in there draining all my energy and wanting all this food!!!
