Getting my zzzz'sssss

Fatigue seems to have caught up to me this week. For the past week, I seem to be going to bed earlier, and earlier. Last night, I ended up going to bed at 8:30 and actually being asleep by 9! Even though I woke up a few times during the night, I got at least 10 hrs of sleep. But I am listening to my body and realize that I probably need this sleep. Although still quite groggy in the mornings until about noon time, I am still fairly functional throughout the day. And I was happy that my jeans still fit me when I put them on, even though I now have a muffin top hanging over the edge. I read that women who do not have any morning sickness can gain about 5 lbs in the first trimester. My first trimester is barely over but I think I can definitely attest to that!
