I should be napping right now

Pregnancy fatigue is no joke.  I’m a little extra tired today because I missed my nap, but I wanted to get a quick post up.

I plan to be more organized, and do that thing all the pregnant blogging ladies do where I post pics of my belly and what stage of development the baby is in.

Tomorrow I start my 5th week, so I may do a picture then.  I might even do one from the front so we can all watch the tattoos on my belly grow.  My first doctor appointment is early next week.  It can’t get here quickly enough.

Overall I’m feeling fine.  I have some of the usual symptoms – fatigue, queasiness (no puking yet), metallic taste in my mouth, peeing all the time, some lower back pain, increased appetite (and how).  My time is pretty much consumed with reading, eating, sleeping, peeing, journaling, occasionally writing, and trying to expose the baby to as much scifi as possible.

Pregnancy has also apparently brought up my latent hippie tendencies.  They’ve been buried for the last several years, but lately, I don’t want any chemicals on my body or in my house.   My quest to be a green mom should be an interesting one.  (I’m sure that’s a series of blog posts right there.)

Hmm… I guess I need to update my about page and come up with a category name for the baby posts… any ideas?
