Exhausted

Well still my biggest symptom of pregnancy is super exhaustion! It doesn't seem to matter how much sleep I am getting I have days where I just feel tired constantly. I know I was tired when I was pregnant with Zelda but I don't remember being this tired. I guess one big difference is when I was pregnant with Zelda I didn't have Zelda! And now I have this happy, hyper two year old jumping on me if I try to rest on the couch for a bit! So anyway I'm dealing with that, but although I'm tired I have managed to exercise most days.
Tuesday: Ran 5 miles
Wednesday: Insanity Upper Body weight training
Thursday: Ran 3 miles.
Tomorrow's Friday and I plan to workout; either weights, walking or calisthenics, we'll see what I feel like doing tomorrow!

Baby # 2

Yesterday, Wed. Oct. 22, I took a pregnancy test, it was positive! Woohoo, first month of trying so I was expecting it to be positive! Super excited, I just want to tell everyone and yes I have told a few people. It is however, early so I know I need to try to keep quiet a little bit longer.  The main symptom I'm having is exhaustion, just sleepy all the time. I am doing my best to not become lazy, Monday I ran 2 miles, Tuesday I ran/walked 8 miles, it took me an hour and 40 minutes so yeah I was definitely taking it easy. Today I ran/walked 3 miles. I hope I get some of my vigor and energy back soon because this is rough but I guess if it's my biggest symptom I have it pretty easy.
Food that sounds delicious lately is anything vegan, well vegan plus cheese I guess. Which is technically vegetarian but I am trying to cut the cheese out, it just tastes so good! This doesn't mean that I don't like meat anymore, I do, but on a day to day basis thinking about what to cook for dinner, pretty much anything vegan sounds great! When I was pregnant with Zelda I was more concerned with getting enough protein and thought vegetarian wasn't even enough to cut it. I am more knowledgeable now and I know that even vegans get plenty of protein even if they're pregnant. So anyway my point is I'm not worried about that this time, I am just going to eat as healthy and as vegan as I want to! It is my goal to be much more careful with the junk food, I got lazy last time, but this time I want to make sure everything I feed myself and this baby is quality!
