Once I had a positive pregnancy test, it seemed to me I instantly became exhausted. All the time. Constantly. So tired. Nausea was close behind. So I felt miserable and tired all the time, but I had an active two-year-old to care for. How would I do it?
About that same time, Joseph, who hasn't napped more than once a week for months, started napping again. He started napping every day for a couple hours. It was heaven for me. So I could rest in the morning while he watched some cartoons, and then I found the energy to pull myself off the couch for a few hours to play with him, anxiously awaiting lunchtime, which meant that nap time would soon be here.
Now that I am past my first trimester, my fatigue and nausea are starting to ease up. And so has Joseph's naps. He is going back to napping only occasionally. I would like to nap a little more than he would, but I can find energy to make it if he doesn't nap.
I'm so grateful for this blessing to survive this pregnancy!

I'm so glad you're feeling better!! Here's to hoping that Joseph decides to return to napping this summer:)
Thank goodness you got some extra naptime for a little while, anyway!
