Sluggish, Swimming, Shopping?

Tonight I am exhausted mostly from traveling over the weekend and then working in the hospital. I hate feeling drained of energy because part of me wants to get up and do things but I lack motivation. My body doesn't handle traveling as well as I did before my pregnancy. I'm tired...but not nearly as exhausted as I was in my first trimester. In my first trimester, there were days where I wasn't sure how I was going to make it from one day to the next. By the time I was 12 weeks pregnant I was so frustrated that I had been constantly tired and nauseated for several weeks. Despite reassurances from others that it would get better, I felt like it would never end. I have to say, I was blessed that the nausea and tiredness did fade away as my second trimester started! Some people feel sick through the entire pregnancy.

I hope I feel better by tomorrow because I'm determined to do some exercise of some sort tomorrow. I've started swimming at the gym...a great cardio workout. Unfortunately, now I need a new swimsuit! I've got to figure out where to go to get a maternity swimsuit this time of year!!!! I'm really not your typical woman when comes to shopping. I'm a bargain hunter, but only if it takes less than 30 minutes to get the deals! If I go with other people, sometimes I can be in the mood to browse and try things on. Otherwise, I make my list, get the stuff on the list and get out AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!! It is starting to get to the busy time of year for Christmas shopping. There's WAY too much congestion for my liking. I no longer work shift work as an RN and although night shifts were tiring, the best thing about that shift was going to Walmart or the grocery store in the morning right after work. Virtually no one else was there and it was so much less stressful to do Christmas shopping! I have only just started my shopping this year. Maybe I will just order everything online!

New Year...New Life....

Wow...it's been over a year since I posted on my blog. I think it's about time to resurrect this site so I'm starting fresh! I have SO many things I want to write about that it's insane! So, I'll update briefly on my life since my last post.

In the last year, my life has undergone a complete 180. I've fallen in love with the man who, as of June 2009, is now my husband. I've moved and started a new job in a new city. Now, I'm embarking on a new journey through even more unfamiliar territory. I am now about 19 1/2 weeks pregnant and we are expecting a little baby in April 2010! So much has been going on in my life that I haven't taken the time to write and I've miss it desperately. I've been feeling a tug in my heart that I need to start this blog again, so...here we go!
