baby steps: the journey to yummyhood. entry #1

the usual symptoms indicative of pregnancy --- the frequent need to pee, the dizzy spells, all-day sickness, food cravings and scent aversions --- i embrace them all as part of the little miracle growing within my body.

but nobody, nobody has ever told me about exhaustion!

i've no desire to do anything whatsoever, except make deep indentation marks of my body on the bed, or the couch. i can barely keep my eyes open, and i am usually in bed at 9.30pm. i constantly feel like i have taken medication that suspends me in that moment between daze and wakefulness, that state that makes it dangerous for one to operate heavy machinery (not that i would).

and i can't have coffee.
