1st trimester is kicking my butt!, please tell me it gets better!

[akelly]

So I haven't been all that sick...but I have been so tired...and SOOO moody! I've even had moments where I worry about taking care of Evan and the baby and I've thought to myself that I've ruined both their lives!

A lot of it has been isolation because we haven't replaced my car yet. I'm not *that* bad anymore...but I even cried when my MIL left me after 2 days yesterday. When I'm SAD to see MIL go....something's outta whack!

The holidays always get to me too. See, I've rationalized *everything* and realize things will get better. I just forget sometimes....like today - Boston is gray and depressing!

Sorry for the vent, esp. during this "jolly" time...just trying to vent "out" rather than "in"...heard its healthier.

Girl, I can totally relate! It will get better. For me, the tiredness went away just before the second trimester and the hormones settled down a bit. I still get weepy here and there, but not nearly as bad as the first couple months. Hope you start feeling better soon!

Yeah, I know what you know. I'm not really that tired anymore, I'm still pretty moody though.

I do hope you start to feel better soon.

Thats normal, I've been so tired too. And very emotional, I'll cry over anything. It'll get better.

It does get better, but sometimes it takes different amounts of times for everyone. I am JUST starting to feel better.

Thanks ladies! Well, the holidays are over and so is first trimester! Yay!

I've been really lucky that here in the Boston area, we haven't really had winter. I hate winter weather - it depresses me because of the cold AND because on crutches, I become a total shut in. But there have still been the dark days, and the holidays...I know some folks can relate to that "I know I'm supposed to be jolly, but when will this END?!" feeling of the holidays. ;-)

I was sick over Christmas, and really wanted to stay home....at least for a day or 2 to try to recover. Hubby just didn't understand and so we went off to the inlaws. We compromised by leaving one day earlier than he wanted, and one day later than I wanted. My MIL showed her displeasure, which really bugged me...it was like she was CLUELESS about how I was feeling. I even made a point of letting her know I'd puked THREE times before leaving home (she only knew of one), but that didn't seem to make her understand.

We have to go back next weekend for our niece's birthday party. I love our niece, but it is AWFULLY soon to have another jolt of inlaws for me...not to mention more travel. {{Sigh}}. Oh well. I should be in better humor at least, since I'm not in first trimester or suffering from a stomach bug!

Thanks for listening!
