Sleep? No thank you!

Total exhaustion.

As I write this entry, I worry that it will be typo-laden and ridiculous-sounding because, it seems, my brain stops working about six hours earlier in the day than it did BL - before the Lentil.

And forget 8 hours of sleep. I need around 12. That doesn't leave a heck of a lot of waking, productive hours. 

So, what to do?

I wrench myself out of bed in the morning and keep myself awake late into the evening - fatigue be damned, I say!

I keep trying that strategy and it keeps on not working.  For instance, earlier this week I took a 45 minute spinning class. No sweat in my non-pregnancy days. But this time, I was forced into a four-hour post workout nap.

So much for trying to ignore my body.

Everyone keeps saying I'll get my energy back - do I believe them?

Let me sleep on it!
