25 weeks

So... I've been completely exhausted this pregnancy. I kept thinking back to my other two and wondering if I was this tired and I don't think I was really. People kept saying that it's because I have two boys to chase around in addition to being pregnant, which is a totally logic excuse but I was working and going to school up until the day before Carson was born so that wasn't making sense to me. I figured it was because I was getting older but I'm only 25 for crying out loud! I should still have plenty of energy! So another thought was that I needed to start exercising again so my friend (who's due a day after I am) and I started going to water aerobics but still...so...tired. Went to the doctor and sure enough, my blood pressure is too low! I was shocked when she told me this because I've never had bp problems before and the fact that it was too low was even more strange. Since I hadn't fainted and wasn't experiencing any dizziness they're not going to worry about it now but the last few months, my bp has consistently been dropping. I looked up symptoms online and it's pretty much regular pregnancy symptoms; fatigue, shortness of breath (I can barely walk up the stairs without having to take a breather), loss of concentration (it's been a lot more difficult working on homework the last few months), fainting/dizziness, nausea. So that explains it! It's nice to have a little bit of validation for being so lazy! The doctor says to just take it easy, stay hydrated, and to come in if I faint or feel dizzy. Good thing that Ryan is so awesome and picks up the slack around here!
