Praise the Lord I've made it to Feb! Not only is today K's birthday, but I'll be 4 months in a few weeks. Well, 3 weeks. Go baby! Still suffering from boughts of nausea and serious fatigue but I think an hour nap when I get home should do we good. This baby wears me down. :) I can't wait to meet him or her.

For some reason, I'm struggling with the fatigue. I went to bed last night around 8:30 and woke up at 5:30 (as usual) and got up at 6 and still felt exhausted. I have to ask my cousin Brian if this is normal. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I am, however, noticing that I don't have an appetite like before. Some days I'll go with not wanting to eat food but forcing something down. I really didn't want lunch, but figured fruit was not going to sufficient. Again, I'm not sure if that's normal. Considering how I'm not hungry now, I wonder if I'll be ok to deal with the food at Fox.

I was telling the girls the other night, I was lying in bed crying because none of my regular clothes fit. I feel so huge and so bloated. I know it's because I'm pregnant and that's perfectly fine. In the eyes of most, I am very beautiful because I have the ability to carry a life in me. Men can't do that shyt. They can only imagine what it must be like to be the one to give birth to the leaders of tomorrow. This little seed in me will be exposed to the world and get nothing but the best. I'm just learning to deal with the bodily changes pregnancy brings. They aren't bad, just quick changes but I wouldn't change any of it for this baby inside of me.

Today is K's birthday. The plan is dinner at Fox Sports Grill and then a movie and home to bed. Since he has class tomorrow, I don't want to keep him out late but I do want to do a little something. Nothing big; just something with the two us. I think the girls are going out for Annette's bday at Dugan's. I would go but they smoke in there and the noise might be a bit much. Sunday we're going to that party at Keith's so I need to make sure I have everything I need to make the pasta salad and some pigs-in-a-blanket.
