As I’ve previously mentioned, I heard once you hit the 12th or 13th week you miraculously get your energy back. Well, I’m in my tenth week and I can already feel the exhaustion melting away and the energy creeping back. Each day I feel as though I have a smidgen more oomph in my step. I’m not needing to nap as much (though I love napping). I have more energy after work so cooking diner isn’t as much of a feat (though I still hate it). I feel the desire to carry on conversation and not just lay around… it’s amazing! I feel like I could run a marathon (ha! maybe to the stop sign anyway). I feel like I could whip someone’s derriere in a kick butt martial arts movie kinda way (look out Kevin!). I feel energized again, refreshed. So the second trimester had better lookout because I’m back and ready to cause havoc!
