Today was a hard day. I was out at the mall with a friend, which was fun, but ultimately I did too much probably, because I got really exhausted by the end of the afternoon. I was feeling somewhat nauseated all day and nothing has really helped. I bought some aloe vera juice and took a few swigs, and that has not helped at all. (I get motion sickness pretty badly at times and aloe vera juice has always helped me then, but it can't seem to touch this...) =/
My mom came over for dinner tonight and I was just so exhausted. I was napping when she got here (which is extremely unusual for me right off the bat) then I was somewhat mopey/staring off into space and she kept asking me what was wrong, if I was feeling ok, etc. I had to just say I was tired. Then at one point she took me aside and said she wanted to ask me something, and I thought here it is... but she asked me something about money, so that wasn't it. I already told my husband if I'm directly asked, I am not going to lie about it. So I was sort of doing my best to keep it a secret tonight but I also was just so tired and so feeling nauseated that I had a really hard time with it. =( It's hard enough to hold it together when I feel like this, but trying to act normal to someone who knows me as well as my mom does is even harder.
I feel a little like a drama queen, because I know everyone's exhausted/sick (to a certain degree) the first trimester.... but this is the first time really for me, so it's a learning process. I'm trying not to be over the top in talking about it, but I have to have somewhere to be honest.
