Week 11-12

Classes started at work last week (Jan 15). With the additional stress at work, I didn't know what that was going to do to my energy levels.

But even Jesse has commented that I'm more awake at 10:00 and 11:00 the last couple of nights than I have been for a long time. I'm still tired, but I'm not incoherently, fall-off-my-feet tired.

Sunday night (Jan 18) was particularly noticable. We were listening to the game (Steelers v. Ravens). About 9:45 or 10:00, I was starting to feel rather tired, but there was only about 5 minutes left in the game (football time). I decided to stick it out. I was working on my computer and got caught in a rabbit-trail online, so it was several minutes after the game ended (closer to 10:30) before I actually got up to head to bed.

By that time, I had gotten enough of a second wind that I decided to go ahead and take a shower before heading to bed. When I crawled into bed around 11:00 and was still addressing Jesse with comprehensible sentences, he was very impressed. :)

Recent "arguments" have included whether I'm starting to show or not. Most days I feel a bit bloated and that some of my clothes are fitting differently. Jesse insists that there is no bulge. I'm actually just as happy to not have to worry about maternity clothes yet. Fortunately, I've got lost of elastic waist skirts for work. I'm not expecting work to be as much of an issue as keeping things to wear for clogging.
