Being Tired

One of the less fun aspects of being pregnant is how much it wears you down.  Because your body is in the process of rearranging itself and building a baby, a great deal of the energy you are used to having available is just gone.

Lindsy and I had both read about this and expected it to happen in theory, but the reality is still strange and takes some getting used to.  I think this is especially unsettling since Lindsy is typically really high energy, and she loves to get stuff done.  I am just not used to seeing her get home from work and just collapse on the couch!

From my perspective, one cool thing about this lack of energy is that this is a reminder of the incredible things that must be going on inside of Lindsy.  I am trying to help out by doing more stuff around the house, but often I am stuck feeling powerless to help, and all I can really do is leave her alone to get some much needed sleep.
