My “big news” post – which hopefully explains a lot

by Bay on August 24, 2010

I have been having one HECK of a summer, with finally selling my house, the move, the shore trips, Blogher, etc, etc. it seems that I have barely had a moment to prop my feet up and relax for realz.

And now I’m gonna spill the beans on another situation that is completely exacerbating my tired/overwhelmedness:  Yup, I’m pregnant!!!

Somewhere around 8 weeks to be exact.  And boy, have I been wanting to say something before now.  I found out almost immediately, since I pretty much felt like crap almost immediately, and slogging through the rest of my eventful summer with first trimester tiredness has been a real pita.

No, I am not puking up a storm or anything like that, but do you know what has been my cross to bear?  Outrageous fatigue.  I had it in my first trimester with Rayna too, where I felt like I could lay down and fall asleep on the floor in Grand Central Station.  Mercifully, I’m not working through this pregnancy (I used to try to sneak off into an empty conference room more often than I should have to lay my head on a desk and zonk), so Rayna still napping has been a HUGE blessing because it means a nap for me too :)

Ok, enough complaining, I just wanted to give a disclaimer for my behavior lately.  Really, attending Blogher and not even posting a recap yet?  I have a lot of posts in the pipeline, so you’ll see them sometime soon.  I’m hoping these next few weeks fly by or I just start to get some of my energy back soon.  I don’t even have the energy to play Bejeweled Blitz, what a sin! :)

Congrats! I know how you’re feeling with my second the fatigue was overwhelming it basically shut me down for a couple of months. As much as I love to write and blog I couldn’t get anything done.

Woo hoo!!! Yay! So excited for you (and a little jealous) I’m still trying to convince my hubby to go for #3, but I’ll tell you…I’ve got the bug for sure!!!

Congratulations Bay. That’s wonderful. I hope your fatigue passes quickly. Out of my 7 pregnancies I only had extreme fatigue on # 6. Funny thing was we couldn’t figure out if it was the pregnancy itself or the pregnancy plus the other 5. lol But that was many years ago and now I’m a grandma. :)

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours http://www.queenmotherblog.com/2010/08/my-big-news-post-which-hopefully-explains-a-lot would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
