A relative of mine once had a girlfriend who always replied 'I'm so tired' when asked how she was. It drove many of us mad. In fact we weren't sure that she had any other conversation as once she'd told us she was so tired she would then shut up and we talked about something else.

Unfortunately it appears that I have turned into that girl.

At the beginning of my pregnancy I felt tired - tired enough to want to go to bed at 7pm every night. But even worse than feeling tired I felt sick. Constantly sick. And I think that is what made me feel so grim, tired combined with sick. So I went to bed early.

Then I reached the glorious 17 week mark and I didn't feel sick anymore. I didn't exactly feel fantastic, but I felt much better. I haven't had a glorious 'blooming' stage of pregnancy but I didn't feel as tired as I did as first. But then of course we had the flood and the move and the commuting and so I spent most of my second trimester feeling tired - although for reasons other than pregnancy.

And then I had these wonderful couple of weeks when I felt great, just great. But those two weeks were all too brief and now I just feel tired again. Completely bone achingly tired. Everything is an effort. And it makes me worried because it is only going to get worse. And because I'm so tired I don't really have much other conversation either. So now I'm tired and boring, just like that old girlfriend. How dull. And I'm so dull I've even blogged about it - even more dull.

Off to watch some Gok Wan to cheer me up.
