Hormones & Fatigue: Part 1 – My Health & Weight History (and Update)

Deployment and pregnancy (a lot in common)

July 13, 2010 by Aprille 1 Comment

I laid in bed the other night struggling to find a comfortable position in which to sleep. Amongst all of the tossing and turning I was struck with the realization that “I’ve done this before.” At the risk of sounding extremely melodramatic… Deployment and pregnancy have a lot in common.
