until recently.
Maybe I blocked out this stage from my pregnancy with my twins, but I'm feeling drained lately! Yesterday the thought of making my bed seemed so overwhelming that I just about burst into tears. And the piles of laundry on my bathroom floor almost sent me over the edge. I just couldn't bring myself to bend down and pick them up! Instead I spent most of my day on the couch. The girls probaby watched more television than I normally allow, but it was all I could do yesterday! And there have been other days like this as well. Thankfully, it's not everyday, but more often than not, I am losing the battle with my dear friend, Energy. I know I'm pregnant. And this time I'm 32 (not 27), and I know I've got two four year olds to chase after, but I am ready for my productive old self to return!
Today was a good day, however. The breakfast dishes were cleared away before lunch, all beds were made, a load of towels was folded and put away, and I managed to get the girls to their ballet class on time. I think I need to start focusing on the little things and be thankful when they are accomplished. And I need to also remind myself that the most important things that happen during the day are not items on a household list, but rather the time I spend with the two most important little people in my day.
Good reminder.
Being silly with my Leah-Bee. No, I'm not drunk.
Hannah and mom.
I love this Mom job!

Yeah, when pregnancy exhaustion hits all you can do is give in! Glad that you are feeling a bit more energy.
Wow, I'm right with you there! Maybe it is our age. :-) I realized the other day that, not only was I three years younger last time, but for the first half at least, I only had one to take care of...now I have four! I'm glad you had a good day among the tired ones...they can make all the difference.
