I've Been Wiped Out

I know, I haven't posted in over a month, but I have my reasons. First off, I just don't have any energy when I get home from work to do anything. The job takes a lot out of me. On the weekends, I'm so busy catching up on rest that I barely check my email. I need a little vacation, soon!

Well, there's a reason for all of this tiredness. In fact, a huge reason. Besides getting use to this new job and still bartending, I have other stuff going on with me. I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!! Yup! As of yesterday, I am ten weeks. This explains the lack of any energy I've been experiencing. I've known for about a month, but wanted to wait on blogging about it.

My pregnancy is going well except for some morning sickness I'm experiencing. It really hasn't been bad. I am having trouble eating. Everything grosses me out and doesn't sit well with me. I've come to the conclusion that the only things that my stomach could handle are ham and cheese sandwiches, strawberry jello, ovaltine, and bread and butter. Yup!

I am also having a hard time dealing with the lack of energy. I just can't move my ass anywhere. When I get home from work, the only energy I could muster is to lay on the couch and fall asleep. They say this changes once you're in your second trimester. I hope this is true.

This baby will be my birthday present!! He or she is due on or around Sept. 18th. My birthday is the 20th. I was my mom's birthday present, too. Her birthday is the 27th. How cute is that? I can't wait.

Well, there you have it. There's my big secret!! We're very excited about this. I'll keep you posted on how I'm feeling and how the baby is doing. Wish me luck!!
