Yesterday I finally broke down and did some research online to figure out why I am SO exhausted. I remember being tired with both my babies, but this is extreme, I literally fall asleep sitting up on the couch watching the girls, I have no energy, its awful!!
What I learned is that the drug Progesterone is paired with drowsiness. So not only is my body producing Progesterone for the pregnancy, but I am taking 3 doses of it DAILY! I read the drug actually makes women fall asleep in high enough doses....sooooooooo now I know!!!
And I am falling asleep writing this....oh WHY can't the girls nap at the SAME time?!?! I SO need some sleep!
By for now, next Tuesday is our BIG ultrasound, we hope to see a lil heartbeat, can't WAIT!!
Hugs :)
