Diary of a Preggo: A snapshot of daily life

December 19, 2012 (7 weeks, 4 days)

I jotted down these notes in my paper journal in December, so I thought it would be funny to share them here as a snippet of an “average day” of my first trimester. Enjoy J

•  Woke up @ 5:50 a.m. for no reason.
• Refused to get up that early and instead watched hubby get ready and leave for gym.
•  Attempted to fall back asleep for another 20 minutes.
• Failed.
• Got up feeling queasy and hungry at the same time so immediately downed a glass of milk with carnation instant breakfast powder and a hostess donut stick (damn hubby for buying those things!)
•   Got back in bed and fell into a weird half-asleep state for another half hour.
•   Got up and put dirty hair in a ponytail to run to campus and get in line for some football team signature tickets hubby wanted. Drank decaf coffee in the cold pretending it was caffeinated.
•   Got tickets @ approx 8:15 a.m.
•   Hungry again so went through McDonald’s drive through to get an egg McMuffin.
• Went back home and ate it with orange juice.
•  Took a hot shower because I was so incredibly cold.
•  The hot shower made me incredibly tired and so I got back in bed with wet hair and a robe on and fell back into a fitful sleep for approximately another half hour.
•  Woke up. Gave in and slammed a cup of Earl Gray tea because I needed some sort of caffeine just to get moving.
•  Got ready for work.
• Worked in a fog-like state from 10:30-7:45.
•  Ready for a nap @ 4p.m. Stared listlessly at internet instead.
•   Went home exhausted and went to bed at 9:30 p.m.
