Hello Webbies. Excitedly pregnant Stara here! This won’t be a long post for one very important reason. I’m exhausted. I’ve been told by several of the pregnancy books I’ve already bought, and my doctor, that this is perfectly normal. Seriously though I can’t go one hour without wishing I could take a nap. Housework and lets face it, writing, has fallen by the way-side. As long as I can be under covers napping, I’m happy. This is not my only pregnancy symptom of course. Every evening I get a constant level of low lying nausea. I also get the occasional heartburn, headache, and gas attack. All of this though pales in comparison to the feeling of fatigue. Now I don’t want you to get the impression that I’m upset about my fatigue.  I may complain about pregnancy symptoms but in truth I’m beyond delighted that I’m pregnant, along with excited, nervous, scared, awed, surprised, worried, and contented. I may have typed this before, I know I’ve said it, but I never thought I’d be this attached to my baby when they look more like a fish then a person. I really honestly thought I wouldn’t feel attached to this tiny person till they started kicking me at least, but no, color me attached. I’m only eight and a half weeks pregnant and I’d already do anything for my little parasite. Who would have thunk it? It must be the sleepiness talking.
