Just....so....tired!

I am starting to feel more and more pregnant by the day. Everything seems to be intensifying. Everything either stinks or smells wonderful, no in between. I am exhausted all the time (I take advantage of David's naps big time!), I'm running to the bathroom nonstop and I'm eating like it's going out of style. I have a touch of morning sickness (very mild - it could be a LOT worse)setting in so I have to keep a small amount of food in my belly at all times. If I have to go with an empty stomach, I feel sick, but if I eat too much I feel sick then too! What a dilemma!

Little David has been noticing some side effects of the pregnancy too. I am still nursing him 4-5 times per day right now. My changing hormones have affected my milk supply and he's not getting what he's used to. Trying to wean a little boy who is not quite ready to wean is proving to be difficult at best! He has been cranky at times and a bit hard to deal with. My doctors and his seem to think this will pass quickly and for my peace of mind I am choosing to believe them! He has finally started to drink from a sippy cup and now that he is past one year old he can drink cows' milk. He has taken that transition very well and seems to enjoy his real milk very much. That has been a true blessing for me. Today he only nursed twice during the day...we'll see what overnight brings us.

One of the worst parts is my sleepiness. It seems to hit in waves. All of a sudden in the middle of cooking dinner or grocery shopping or something I just get hit with a strong urge to fall over and just sleep right there on the floor. Sometimes it is all too tempting. I have noticed that a similar thing has been happening to my son. I'll put him in his crib for a nap and he'll just be sitting there playing and doing his best to avoid sleep when WHAM! it hits. It feels good to know that I am not alone.


This is from just a few days ago. He woke up with fur imprints in his face:
