The Case of the Vanishing Energy

When pregnant with Emily and Andrew, I was determined to continue working out and eating semi-healthy.  Or, at least continue eating once the vomiting let up.

With this pregnancy, I have transformed into a slug.  I have no energy. None. When I come home from work, I lay on the couch and won't move until bedtime.  Sometimes, I walk in and head straight to bed.  On the weekends, I do nothing but sleep and watch football.  Every little activity wears me out.  Walking up the stairs starts a vomit fest.

But the truth is, I have no motivation. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I think of all those lost pregnancies and feel like I deserve a break.  7 pregnancies in 3 years is intense.  I don't have much to give this time around and don't really want to give anything.

Eventually I will return and write about something that has nothing to do with pregnancy.  As soon as I stop feeling dizzy when I look at a computer screen.

For now, if you would like to keep in touch, you could always visit me while I lay on the couch with Ben and the kids serving me. (Hey, if you could live like a Queen would you change anything?)

  1. Wish I could visit, but I too have zero energy. I'm shocked at how much less I feel capable of this time around. But, a comfy couch is divine. And you do deserve a break. Take care!

  2. If rest is what you crave, then that's what you should do! You have the rest of your life to be energetic!
