Being Pregnant= No motivation

I know I always say that I am the worst blogger ever. And here I am saying it again. Before, my excuse was that Jon was leaving and we were so busy. I thought I would have a lot of time to blog after he left, which, I do. BUT, now that I am pregnant, I have lost all motivation to do ANYTHING. I am so tired and have no energy. I now go to work on a daily basis with no makeup, hair not done, and clothes that I don't even know if they match. My room is a mess and I need to do laundry, but it just sits....and sits....and sits......waiting to be done. And then there is my blog. Completely neglected. I am hoping that during my 2nd trimester, things will change. I need my energy back! As far as my pregnancy and 1st doctors apt:
-I am due February 10th
-I will find out at the end of August if I am having a boy or girl
-I am hungry EVERY second of the day
-I dont have morning sickness, unless I dont eat. FOOD is (unfortunately) the cure.
-I am still working, and plan to until I absolutely cant anymore
-I CRAVE mexican food, and anything high in carbs. Bread, pasta, potatoes, etc.
-Like I said, I am tired with no energy or motivation.
-Gotta love being bloated everyday!

I guess I need to be grateful that I am not bending over the toilet with horrible morning sickness. I feel pretty lucky, actually.
My poor hubby is just heartbroken that he has to miss all of this. He wishes more than anything that he could be here. We are crossing our fingers that he will be able to make it home for the birth.
Overall, we are thrilled. I am now officially content with the idea, whereas at first, I was a little freaked out and shocked. But now I am convinced, that this pregnancy is what is going to get me through Jon's deployment. It will keep me busy, always looking forward to my next dr's appointment. In the end, I truely believe that Heavenly Father knows what is best for us..... I used to think that the LAST situation I would want to be in is: pregnant, home alone, husband gone, 2 dogs to take care of, not knowing if I would be able to keep my job or not....But now that I am in the situation, I would not have it any other way. It is meant to be. I underestimated myself before, thinking I couldn't do it. Heavenly father had more trust in me, knowing that I could.
