Oh dear....that feeling-like-you've-hit-a-brick-wall early pregnancy tiredness!
And you know they say about losing more brain cells in each pregnancy.....kind of explains why I'm the way I am........
Good luck, by the way!;)
When I was preggers I went to a friends house. She told me to put my feet up, I tried to tell her I was fine but she wouldn't hear of it. She got me comfy, served me tea and snacks, and just pampered me.
I'll never forget how it felt and now do this whenever I have a pregnant friend or relative over. I hope someone does this for you!!! :)
Oh boy! It really does take a ton of energy to make a baby. When I was pregnant I watched a lot of television and took a lot of naps. At the end of the day I would feel like I'd run marathons. At first it made me feel ridiculous to get so tired doing "nothing". Then I looked at it from another angle and realized that my body (without my brain's help) was busy dividing cells 24 hours a day. How can that NOT make you exhausted?
My brain is always like mush and I'm not pregnant~ senility in my case!!!

Can I rub your feet? Cause that's what a REAL friend would do (and take your kids to the park and out for lunch, so you can nap!).
And a real friend links to another friend's post, even when they're too tired to ;).
Hope the "tired stage" passes quickly; I remember falling asleep sitting straight up in a chair :/. There's nothing like it, huh?

Husband: (looking around the messy house) "What did you DO today?"
Pregnant Wife: "Grew a lung. What did YOU do today."

That brain mushiness appears to be contagious.

Oh my...at least you are done with the "sick" stage.
Get some rest.

The baby is taking what it needs - evidently today it needed your brain! It'll get different!

DESERT SONGBIRD -- that is HILARIOUS!!! ha ha ha ha I'm totally using that one!! (or passing it along to my pregnant friends for them to use!!)
I'm sorry you are so tired Sis!! I wish I was closer. I would come take those kids off your hands for the day. Let you take a hot bath and nap.

Yup, sounds like you're pregnant! :)
I hope the other two are good for you. Stock up on kids' movies. Or send them to Grandma. ;)

I feel sorry for women who feel "BEST" when they are pregnant.
I think they are lying anyway.
