Where do all of you pregnant girls get the energy?

Thursday, July 31st 2008

I've been reading a lot of the pregant girls' blogs, and I am amazed. People are knitting, sewing, making soap, going to the gym, working at a job and myriad other activities. I can barely manage to get my children fed and dressed before I have to lay down and take a rest.

Pregnant, tired, nauseated, tired. That's about it today.
