Crazy dreams and hangovers

I had the worst dream last night.  I was out with my hubby and some friends at a party and I ended up getting wasted drunk!!!  AND I was smoking!  In the dream I knew I was pregnant but it didn't seem to occur to me that that sort of behavior would not be a good idea.  It was one of those dreams that was so vivid that I woke up actually thinking that I did those things.  Ugh!  I was pretty upset and I spent a good 5 minutes laying there in bed before I realized that it was all a dream.  Phew!  The weird thing was that I felt like I had done those things last night.  My mouth and throat was very dry like I had been smoking and I felt like I had a hangover - a mild case of the "spins", empty pit-stomach feeling, and headache.  I have read that some women describe morning sickness as feeling like a hangover - it's just interesting that it got incorporated into a dream that I had.  It's like my brain was looking for a reason why I was feeling sicky and decided to implant that dream in my head where I was out partying like I was in college again.  LOL!  Good news is that I did not ingest any toxic substances last night or during the last couple months for that matter.  So we're still in the game, assuming our sesame seed is still growing away!

I'm feeling pretty good for the most part.  I have been feeling pretty yucko right after waking up in the morning.  Showers and getting ready for work are starting to be challenging but I feel better once I get something in my stomach.  Usually I don't eat anything until I have my morning smoothie on the way to work so I may start eating crackers right when I wake up to get something in my stomach.  I've been very tired.  Friday I left work early because I was falling asleep at my desk (LOL!) and yesterday I took 2 naps!  I feel guilty for napping so much.  It makes me feel lazy but hubby says that it's okay to sleep if I'm tired - my body is telling me to slow down.  So I guess I'll comply.  I just can't leave work early all the time to go take a nap!  Other complaints/observations: vivid dreams (there have been others in addition to my party girl dream last night), lots of trips to the bathroom (especially at night), my boobs and nipples are sore and veiny (gross!), still have the feeling like I did a bunch of reverse crunches the day before, some uterine cramping occasionally, and I get light-headed more often if too much time passes between meals or snacks.  Other than that, I'm pretty good!  I have bloodwork on Tuesday for a progesterone level check and a 3rd beta.  Then a week from Wednesday is the first ultrasound!  Ugh!  Time is going by so slowly!  At least we will lose an hour next weekend when the clocks "spring forward" - one less hour to wait:))
