Week 9!

Because I spend too much time on the internet researching that what I fear, I kept reading that weeks 9 and 10 are the most common worst weeks for morning sickness. Week 9 was the best for me so far. Anything could happen heading into week ten now. I feel a little icky in the morning, but I've found that eating a hard boiled egg before I leave for work really helps even me out and I get through the day without really feeling sick, as long as I keep something in my stomach. My only other issues have been gas and exhaustion. I feel like I'm hooked up to a helium tank that keeps refilling me. My husband says, "Why don't you just burp?" Well, yeah. But 1) I'm not some neanderthal that can sit their burping at will and 2) even if I could, pregnancy gas fills right back up again. And the exhaustion. Oh, the exhaustion. A couple of days ago, I was so exhausted I started to cry. And I had like two hours left at work. I texted my husband that I was "so exhausted I could cry" and he responds with "me too." He's lucky he's breathing right now. I had to lecture him about 3 different times since then about how he is never to compare us. He can't out-pregnant pregnancy and it's ridiculous to even try. He's not trying to be insulting, but it is insulting. I'm not exhausted because I can't sleep, or because I got up early, or because I worked all day. I'm exhausted because there is a human being inside of me sucking up every ounce of my energy to give itself life. Nothing compares. Men, right?
