Since this blog doubles as a family journalistic approach to everything in our lives, it's now added a new avenue of "pregnancy book". As if I didn't share enough. Apologies, bare with it.

I'm not sure why my body does this, but the moment my body registers as pregnant, I need twice the amount of sleep. It's quite inconvenient, really, and with these two, I'm finding certain things are slacking.

I never nap, for two purposes. One, if I do nap, even for ten minutes, it takes hours past my normal bedtime, which leaves me doing completely irrelevant things such as eating and blogging at 2am. Two, napping is such a waste of time in my book. If I nap, I just lost all the "me time" that is so precious in the day.

That all goes out the window when carrying a bean. Yep, I just awoke from a fine one-hour nap. It was much needed and I feel as if I can actually last until my 9pm bedtime (interesting how that drops down a few hours as well!).

I know it's just my body's way of building a baby, but is sure is draining and inconvenient! Add on the drama of Honey Bean and my inability to exercise until things "settle" and I find myself getting frustrated, feeling lazy, and overall lethargic.

But, God is good. The first trimester will be over soon, hopefully everything bean-related will recover and I can be out with the jogger in no time.

Until then, I'll take an extra-fluffed pillow, a cozy blanket, and a side of cottage cheese for immediate consumption upon waking.
