10 weeks and counting…

October 8, 2009 | Posted by Jennie

I think I might be one of the lucky ones. I feel fantastic, still. Although I have to admit I tend to experience an unexplained day of exhaustion usually once a week that I can only attribute to my very busy baby making body.

This past Tuesday was so brutal I could hardly get off the couch! It felt as though my entire being was processing something that I have never experienced before and I simply allowed it to continue. My entire day was spent on the couch, drinking water and snacking on fruit and veggies. It was all I could possibly do.

Although it was frustrating as I felt like I was wasting my time and I could have been working on many things around the house, at the same time it was an incredible experience. For the first time I really felt pregnant, I could feel the miracle occuring within me, a kind of power that we cannot mentally comprehend. Just an overwhelming feeling, a heavy buzzing of activity throughout my entire body.

I suppose my advice here is to embrace this exhaustion. Give in to it, feel it, enjoy it. Get comfortable on the couch, drink plenty of water, create a spread of healthy veggies and dip and let your body do its beautiful work. I look forward to my next miracle day…
