For the past month, since I found out Buzz was around, I’ve been exhausted. I wouldn’t have described myself as a “high energy” person before, but the necessities of cooking meals and running a household mean that I don’t get a lot of sit-down time. But recently I’ve been unable to do much but sit or lie on the couch, or – when Nana or Daddy is around – head off to bed in the middle of the day or at the same time as the kids.

On top of this, I feel nauseous most of the time. Or my version of it, which isn’t a feeling of wanting to be sick, but more a feeling of being constantly just a little bit full like I’ve eaten too many fish and chips. This tends to put me off eating, plus it means my body gives me no cues about when I’m hungry or when I’m actually full. Plus the only time it doesn’t hurt is when I’m eating! So my diet this month has been pretty random and not particularly nutritious.

Last night (10 weeks) might have been a turning point though – I stayed up until the extraordinary (these days) time of 11:30pm playing games with my mum and sister. Bring on the blissful second trimester!
