June 15, 2000

I think I'm losing my head. Being pregnant plus being a mother is like having two strikes against me. I can't remember anything, so I apologize for missing the journal entry for this week.

I'm doing okay, I just entered week 13, so I'm almost out of the first trimester ... I hope I start feeling better. Actually, the thing that bugs me the most is being sooooo tired all the time. If that would just let up a little, I'd feel sooooo much better!!! But everything seems to be going OK, I don't have a check up until the end of the month, so no new updates.

Sidney is doing OK, she all of a sudden will only take a 30 minute nap, I don't know what's wrong? She just wakes up, nothing is waking her, I have the windows closed, the fan on and Seal playing softly on the CD player. But every day she wakes up, and it's not just the waking that bothers me, it's the crying and b-a-d mood that follows because she is so tired! She's still nursing to sleep, and usually does without any problems, I just need to get her back to her two-hour nap once a day, she was much happier after the two-hour nap!! She sleeps well at night, so I at least have that to look forward to!

No day care kids yet, I just can't believe it. I got my license over two months ago, and here I sit! We hung up some handmade signs around our little town yesterday, I just hope someone calls soon before I lose my mind!

Okay, I'm going to run. A friend of mine is having breast surgery tomorrow (actually, it's the friend that talked me into giving breastfeeding a shot) but they saw a mass on her mammogram. I hope everything is okay, she's only 28, but it does run in her family, her mom had one breast removed already. Positive thoughts though, right!!!??? Hugs to all and happy nursing!!!
