pregnancy fatigue

it's 5pm on a saturday.. good morning! yup.. i just got out of bed..

this week has been the worst so far.. i felt like i reached my limit.. i felt very very very very very (very!) tired even without doing anything.. this made me so frustrated that i would cry..

at night, i couldnt get enough rest as i kept waking up to go to the bathroom.. even at work, i felt like im getting up to pee every half an hour.. in the morning, i had to drag myself out of bed just to get to work.. even the smallest movement seem to take every remaining ounce of strength (and will) in me.. *sigh*

so this is pregnancy fatigue.. the baby sites said that its common especially during the first trimester and for good reason.. my body is working on the baby 24/7.. they said that right now im manufacturing the placenta - the baby's life support system..

a few more weeks and i might be feeling better.. well better than now at least..

on the good side, by this time, the baby has passed the embryonic state and is entering the fetal period.. our beating peanut is now a fetus! (one site mentioned that 'fetus' means 'little one') about the size of a green olive =)

he/she has already started dancing inside me.. but we wouldnt feel it for at least two more months.. i think.. but i know it would be worth the wait! =)
