4w3d.... is it too early for fatigue??

I've switched over from CTP, and this is my first JE here! Woohoo! This is my 2nd pregnancy. The first ended in MC at 8 wks in May 2017. I'm actually coming up on my original due date of 12/31/17 and we'll be having our first ultrasound 1/3/18, so that's really nice, actually.... as long as we see a strong heartbeat, of course.
It's been almost a week since we found out, so I worked all this week without the Adderall I normally take. I don't know if that's why I'm so dead tired or if it's pregnancy fatigue already, but omg the struggle is real!!!
My supervisor at work already guessed I'm pregnant. I'm glad, because my productivity has really taken a hit this week. My workload is very intense, and if I'm not working at 100% I fall behind. No one can work at 100% all the time, so being behind is a way of life. But if I'm only operating at 80% all the time, it's going to get ugly. Maybe I can talk them into some accommodations since I'm off my meds. It'll have to be after Christmas, because we're always short handed this time of year because they let too many people off. I'm working through because I'm trying to save my leave... so I'll be suffering extra hard this year.
I'm visiting my parents this weekend and trying not to spill the beans. I'm not a very good liar, so I'm just hoping my mom doesn't offer me any booze. She'll know if I turn down champagne! And I just know she'll get some while she's at the grocery store today. Lord help! I'm imagining faking sips and throwing the champagne in a potted plant when she's not looking.
