What is it about the first day of knowing that you're pregnant that makes you so damn tired? I mean, really I'm not doing anything differently than I have been for the last few weeks. Is it just knowing that my body is busy making more blood and dividing cells or whatever? I'm dragging. But yet I can't shut my mind off and I'm thinking where are we going to put this baby? There is no room for it in this house. We have to have a garage sale! We have to consolidate our crap! Should I try to have the 22 month old (when the new baby's born) in a toddler bed by then, or should we buy another crib? I've been up in the attic rearranging boxes and listing books on paperback swap and putting things out for the goodwill.
Come to think of it, maybe that's why I'm tired. Maybe it's not the baby's fault as much as all my frenzied activity.
And what's the point of keeping the pregnancy a secret? Yes, we've had miscarriages in the past, but I don't want to wait until 12 weeks to tell. And if by some chance we don't make it there, I want there to have been a celebratory period instead of people having to find we used to be pregnant but lost it all at once.
I've told my mom, my dad, my sister, my mother in law, my daughter's best friend's mother, and mentioned it in several comments on other blogs, in addition to venting it all here.
He has told nobody. He thinks I've only told my mom and sister. Heh.

The very day I found out I was pregnant with # 3 I gagged and was nauseous all day long--i wasn't even 5-weeks at the time.
Congrats!!
I think we're right at the same point pregger's wise & i'm so tired all i want to do is talk to my pillow.
And my boobs itch.
You wanted to know that part right?
We have a 22 month old boy and just moved him into a toddler bed for # 2's arrival. It is night three and so far so good!
I am so tired with #2 as well, so I totally feel your pain.
congrats to you! i was exhausted with #2 way more than with #1. probably because #1 kept me so busy!
my girls are 20 months apart and it's great! the oldest will be 3 in jan and is still in a crib. when the day comes that she isn't i will cry.
