In need of some caffeine

Oh, to have her energy.
I don't do coffee or sodas. We have caffeine-free tea, last I checked. So me? I get my daily dose of caffeine in the form of cocoa beans. Of the milk chocolate variety.

But regardless of where the 'bottled' energy comes from, I need it. Desperately. Because right now, I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. Not to mention standing in the upright position. I feel like I will fall over. Literally.

I am constantly eating, in attempts to bring up my energy level. but yet have no real appetite.

I'm thinking my already-fast metabolism has kicked it up another notch? Because today, I swear I'm thinner around the waist than I was yesterday. To the extent that it worried me... I went to lie down on the couch to make sure I felt our lively little girl kicking. I did. :)

I don't remember it being like this with Raegan?! Was I walking around like a zombie? Did I block that whole section of time out for sanity sake?

So for next time...here is documented proof that it did happen and all was "normal". :) Though really, isn't everything considered "normal" during pregnancy?! (I.E. Usually my teeth and gums hurt. Shockingly enough, that has not happened this go round.)

I'm off to try and convince my littlest one to take another nap, even though she just got up from one. Ironically, my oldest two are sleeping soundly in preparation for tonight's sleepover at Grandma's house. And I, the pregnant zombie, am left alone to entertain a very active 15 month old.
