annoying whiney pregnancy related vent
I know people have really rough pregnancies, and mine hasn't been that bad so far so I really should be grateful, but since I'm a naturally pessimistic person and I'm a baby when it comes to not feeling well, I'm going to complain anyways.....I'm exhausted all the time, have cramps, nausea, I'm gassy, bloated, achy, keep getting headaches, plus I'm so emotional lately. I'm sitting here at work crying because of all the above things. I just want to go home and sleep all day. I don't want to be at work, I want to be a SAHM (starting now), but can't because I'm poor. I just want to be home resting and thinking about fun baby stuff right now, not dealing with Marketing budgets, graphic design, etc. 
Re: annoying whiney pregnancy related vent
I have been there too. Most people say the exhaustion eases up. I haven't felt any significant changes. The bloating feeling does go away, just in time to start showing, which is a much better look and feel!
Everyone has different experiences, and it's totally alright to feel what you're feeling. You have a right to feel that way, even though it may be true that others have had it worse. I have a coworker who is 6 weeks behind me, and she's on hospital bedrest, and I feel like I don't have the right to vent here about my likely induction and my worries around it - it's not fair, her situation is not mine. I have the right to my feelings regardless of what someone else is going through. You do too. Vent away, lady!

Just wanting to sleep is the worst.
I hope that this just a first tri problem for you.
I agree vent away. Hmmm you sound like I did when I was pregnant last year. I truly think pregnancy makes you a different person. It's like PMS to the extreme. You have every right to feel the way you do, and venting here is a good way to let loose.
Hang in there mama, this emotional mess you are going through is so worth it in the end.
Thanks. I felt like an a**hole after I read my post over because I know others are currently going through rougher experiences (or have in the past), but it still felt good to complain.
I remember the gas being AWFUL. I would just curl into a ball.
And I remember it being really hard to focus on work too.
It will get better...little by little...
(I was thinking of you the other night as I was nursing and looking out my new windows at the pouring rain. I love those windows.)
What you feel is just a valid as what others feel. Don't drive yourself nuts thinking about who has it worse.
I can say that I am hungry, even though there are much hungrier children in Africa.
This is exactly how I've felt lately too. Some days I find myself sitting on the bathroom floor trying to catch my breath between being sick and try to remind myself that I wanted this really really bad and how others have it worse. Then there are days that I can't fit into my clothes, I'm tired, I'm hungry but food is gross, and I just want to stay in bed and cry about it all day because OMG my life is so hard.
Some days I can get over myself and some days I can't, but I always (eventually) remember that I'm happy to be in this situation and that it's worth it.
Hang in there!
As the others have said- get your vent on, this is the place for it!
I remember being extremely tired and crampy all thoughout 1st tri, but by around week 14, the cramping, fatigue and bloating finally went away and I started to feel human again. Hang in there, and make sure you take plenty of time to relax and sleep when your body needs it- it'll get easier!

Vent as much as you need to! It doesn't matter whether other people have it better or worse. What matters is that your body is going through major changes beyond your control and they requires both emotional and physical adjustment on your part. If venting helps, that's great - do it!
speaking of which - *glances at apple's ticker*- being 46 almost 47 wks must be tough.
LOL
Hope it passes soon for you Andrea! Venting always makes me feel a bit better too!
Cute new siggy!!
You ladies are the best!
Brianne- I'm glad you like your windows despite the little mix up before installation!
