I am still planning on writing more about my pregnancy. I have a whole list and everything. I also have a list of other to-do items. A long list. A list full of stuff I want to do. Another list of stuff I promised to do. Another list of stuff I really should do. All these lists are sitting prettily on my desk, staring me in the face. And not getting done.
I was told that by the end of the fourth month I was supposed to get my second wind. The throwing up would end, the “Holy-crap-I’m-so-big” phase wouldn’t have started yet so I’d have a few months of full force energy. I was told it would be even better than usual. I would have all this *extra* energy. Yey, I thought, I could use some of that extra energy to get stuff done before the baby comes.
Well, here I am at 26 weeks. While I’m definitely not puking my brains out, and while I am really appreciating that fact, I certainly don’t have my energy back. Actually, last week I’ve been more exhausted than usual. I’ve had a hard time getting up from bed and keeping myself awake and alert throughout the day. I look at my lists but I don’t reach out for them. I just lie down, close my eyes, and hope that tomorrow will be more productive.
Here’s to hoping.

Unfortunately, I can relate. I didn’t feel that “surge” of energy in the 4th month either. I did feel pretty good my 7th and 8th months though. Nothing super-hero, but at least not completely exhausted.
Being pregnant is no small thing. Take it easy and take good care of yourself. Best, ~Janece
Fourth month! Ha! That month you’re recovering. I had only the 6th, 7th and 8th that were decent. Not great, but decent.
I sympathize.
