Ma'am You Can't Sleep Here

For those of you who have never been pregnant, but hope to be at some point in your future life, allow me to let you in on a little secret.  You probably will be told that a sign of being pregnant is that you might feel more tired than normal.  That is the biggest understatement of the century!  You will become more tired and dramatically so.  Pregnancy tired is something that only those who have dared to go where not just anyone has been can experience (aka pregnancy).

The best way I know how to explain it is...hit by a bus tired.  You know you're pregnant when:

• staying up late means going to bed at nine
• you can take a 5 hour nap during the day and still being able to sleep for 10 hours that night
• the first thing you notice when you go into a store is the cozy couch by the dressing rooms
• finding yourself surrounded by old men on that cozy couch you spotted trying very hard not to close your eyes because you know you'll be asleep as soon as you do
• when you're pretty sure you just fell asleep at your work desk because you don't remember those people being in line a second ago  
• when you develop a new found respect and understanding for your grandparents and just how easy it can be to fall asleep mid afternoon
• when it suddenly dawns on you that your husband could very easily be living a double life from nine to  eight in the morning and you would have no idea (this was McKay's contribution...not mine...should I be worried?)

So my friends...be prepared to be tired...very tired.  And the best part...I hear its just preparing you for just how tired you'll be for the next "oh 15 years of your life".  But, trust me, it is oh so worth it.
