Tired

So I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my first child and I knew I would be tired, but I'm so tired its crazy!  It hard to be really  excited when you are feeling soooo tired! Anyone else having the same feeling?

I also was on the web reading a week to week pregnancy guide and found this, which I though was really cute and wanted to share:
What you are thinking this week:
"If I put my head in my hands and stare down at my desk, it'll look like I'm working really hard and nobody will know I'm actually sleeping."

OMG I did that all throughout my first pregnancy... I was 16/17 and I slept through most (and surprisingly passed) all my classes that way... with the head on my hands as I "look at my desk".  I even perfected sleeping sitting up and using a book to make it look like I was reading.... till I started to snore.


This time, I have a hard time ever keeping my eyes open.

I am 8 weeks now. I have been tired for the past 2 weeks no matter how much sleep I get.  I have to take a nap during the day.  I don't know how working pregnant woman do it because this pregnancy is kicking my a$$!  LOL  I'm constantly nauseous too.  I have my ok days, bad days, and really bad days.  So far none of my symptoms have let up enough for me to have a great day.  My breasts are sore, my nipples hurt even more!  I'm bloated all the time and I pee constantly. I feel like I've been run over by a bus most days, I have pain everywhere.  

Unfortunately, everything that is happening to us is perfectly normal.  The nurse joked with me and said, "If I didn't know I was pregnant when I was, I would have thought I was dying."  That is exactly right!  Believe me, you are NOT alone...  :)
