balancing work and pregnancy

I used to be a normal working 40 hour a week employee. A few weeks ago, I was offered to take on another job at work. I was the Personnel (HR) Coordinator and now I am also the Payroll Specialist. I was told that it would make me busy but be easy to juggle. It has taken a huge adjustment. Now I work 45-47 hour work weeks and can't see the top of my desk...

I am inputing payroll for about 150 employees which I love because I was a little bored at work before. I used to have time to surf the web and balance the checkbook...those days are definitely over! I don't want to sound full of myself but, I am kinda proud of myself for being able to handle my job in my first trimester. I left early from work in my 6th week because I was put on modified bed rest but other than that, I have been able to stick it out despite the symptoms.

I am REALLY ready to welcome my 2nd trimester next week (I'm 12 weeks now) because I heard you get some energy back. I already feel the difference this week! I stayed up to watch the Bachelorette -though I might have dozed off during the episode a little. To be honest, I have had it pretty easy with this pregnancy. I have friends that puke for the whole trimester. I haven't puked :) YAY! I was ridiculously tired and had nausea but that's it! Not too bad at all! I have had some terrible stomach pains but I have always had stomach problems. I am pretty sure I am smaller now than a few weeks ago because my bloating has gone down. Thank goodness!

I have a feeling that I will need to shop for maternity slacks soon though...I don't love the bella band...
