Symptoms

I swear I have every single pregnancy symptom that a pregnant woman could possibly have... even the ones that I didn't even know existed, which means they really aren't that common. I'm not going to go into detail about those though because most people would really rather not hear about that :)
Pretty much the day that I turned 6 weeks pregnant, morning sickness hit. And it continued every morning. I would wake up and immediately start feeling sick. It was very difficult with student teaching, but luckily I never really felt sick during the day. In the evenings I would start feeling bad but very rarely did I get sick. If I did get sick in the evenings it was because I was thinking too much when I took my prenatal vitamin and choked on it (I'm horrible at taking pills!)Finally, this past week the morning sickness has decreased quite a bit. I can't say it is completely gone but I do feel better in the mornings, and I don't dread getting out of bed because I know I'm going to get sick 5 seconds later anymore (even though I do dread getting out of bed just because I'm still so tired!)
Exhaustion has been with me since day 1. I have always been a person who could lay down at any given moment and sleep for 12 hours. I LOVE sleep. However, I noticed that I definitely could not make it through the day without feeling like I was going to fall over dead from exhaustion. I would come home from teaching and immediately lay on the couch the rest of the night, and then go to bed around 9 or 9:30. During the school day, I remember sitting at my desk and just thinking about how I wanted to go to sleep and I couldn't wait for the school day to be over so I could do just that. I'm still pretty exhausted, and I still have to go to bed around 9 or 9 30 but I'm starting to be able to not take the naps during the day. Hopefully I will eventually get all my energy back so I can finish cleaning this house!
