Sick of being sick

*Warning... this is a super-whingy post, so don't read it if you're having a good day.*

I'm sick of feeling sick.  Pregnancy sucks.  Before you feel too sorry for me, I don't have it that bad really.  But it still sucks. 

And at 13.5 weeks, it seems to be turning up a notch.  If I remember correctly with Coops, I chucked more in the 13 to 17/18 wk period, although I did feel better between chucks.  This time, I swear I feel worse as well as chucking more.

I am seriously lacking motivation.  To do anything.  I feel mildly crap all the time, and just can't be bothered.  If I get too energetic and do anything mildly strenuous (like have a shower and clean the bathroom bench and toilet... seriously - shouldn't be too tough!), I have to sit still or walk slowly, slightly hunched for the next hour while I wait for my stomach to settle.

I sit here right now, knowing that Cooper's sleep time must be coming to an end, and my time to achieve stuff is getting shorter by the minute, but I lack the motivation to get off the couch.

I'm moving in 3 weeks.  I have not started packing yet.  There is plenty I could be doing right now.  But I just want to sit and eat.  But I don't even know what to eat.  Nothing sits quite right.  I know I'm not drinking enough either, but I just can't even bring myself to drink (which may explain the headache).  It sucks.

I have a lot of visitors throughout the week, and go out a bit too.  Jase thinks I might be doing too much and making it worse.  Mum asked about that this morning too.  But the thing is, even if no one comes over and I don't leave the house, I don't do anything differently anyway.  I'd still be sitting here in my dressing gown (I did get dressed this morning, but put my dressing gown back over the top for comfort... luckily none of today's visitors care about that!) or moping around slowly and restlessly, waiting for time to pass.  And the visitors keep Cooper happy, which makes me feel less neglectful for not playing with him much.

Why, oh why do people have more than two kids??

Nothing makes it better.  I just have to wait for these weeks to pass.  Come quickly, 20 weeks!!  And bring a settled stomach and lots of energy with you!

*End of moaning.  I shall now resolve to go and count my blessings and cheer up a little.*
