Incredibly Tired

This pregnancy is already so completely different than with Maddy. With Maddy my first symptoms were totally exhaustion (which is true with this one as well), incredibly sore boobs and just feeling a little "weird." Now, this time, my boobs are doing alright, but I have all this extra saliva going on and it's driving me insane. I had a little bit of this with Maddy, but not until later in the pregnancy. This stupid symptom is what made my hunch I was pregnant pretty strong. This constant swallowing and wanting to just drool is really annoying, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep and it's all I can think about. Ugh.

On a positive note, this time around I know more of what to expect. It's easier to feel the signs now, and I'm so much more in tune with my body. It's so weird, but I just knew the instant we conceived. We both did, and said as much to each other. I never expected that - to "just know." I didn't want to jinx it, and I was afraid the whole time to get my hopes up, but my gut was screaming that I was... And I am, which is fabulous EXCEPT that I am having a really hard time waking up in the morning. I am SO INCREDIBLY TIRED. Even now, after I've been at work for nearly two hours, I can barely keep my eyes open.

I feel like I took a sleeping pill or something before I went to bed, instead of that pesky prenatal vitamin that makes me burp like a man. I have had this feeling off and on all week.
