While my appetite has returned, and I have been able to start exercising a little more, I wouldn't go as far as to say my energy has returned. Making it through a full work day is definitely a challenge, and I have been getting more and more headaches as the weeks go by. But I must say, probably the worst symptom I currently have is not the nausea or headaches, but the fact that I have to get up every 1.5-3 hours at night to pee!! I don't know if I'm tired because I'm pregnant, or so tired because I wake up between 3 and 5 times EVERY single night to use the bathroom. Oh what I would give for a full, uninterrupted night's sleep. I suppose it's preparation for a newborn, yes?
According to some of the books I've been reading, I will definitely be showing by now (or at least gained about 5 lbs), probably needing maternity clothes, and probably would have felt the baby move by now. So that's a negative for all three. Not showing, have not gained 5 lbs (but I did gain one!), and haven't felt any sort of fluttering-like movements as of yet. I have definitely learned not to believe everything I read, or listen to the advice of every well meaning person who wants to offer it to me.
On a more exciting note, only 2 weeks until we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!! I can't wait! And then the next day we leave for our wonderful vacation. :)
