Some of my friends and family may know that we have been trying to organize our house for some time now. It seems that every step we take towards getting rid of junk causes our house to look more and more like a tornado hit it. But now, at last, the reclaiming has begun!!
It is very nice to have little spurts of energy now, rather than being completely exhausted all the time. (Because of the small creature that's in my uterus right now, remember?) Now I'm just completely exhausted most of the time. But if I really put my mind to it, I can do one thing per day. Yesterday, I met with my boss for an hour and a half--I was useless for the remainder of the day. Today, I unexpectedly had the morning off, so I slept for 12 hours, showered, ate breakfast/lunch (while I blogged) and now I'm going to clean the upstairs bathroom.
The kitchen and the downstairs bathroom are already clean and I am finally reclaiming my house, one room at a time. The goal is to have the house clean before the baby is born (March 29). Honestly, in the state that Brett and I are in right now--graduate school, engineering degrees, baby coming, both working, stress at my job, etc ,etc--that goal isn't shooting low. I will not be surprised if it actually takes us until March to be able to find our couch again. -sigh-
I'm debating whether or not to put up that baby countdown thingy that everyone has on their blogs. Maybe I should spruce up the old blog a bit with some of those extra features. I'll think about it. It does make it nice to look at Kelli or Jackie's blogs to see how far along they are. By the way, Jackie is due in 2 DAYS!! Yikes! It's going to be so weird to Skype with them and have a little baby screaming in the background. I may accidentally pee myself with fright for them (and us).

near the end of the pregnancy(not that I know from experience, but just observation) you start getting more energy, all jackie does now is organize and clean then re-organize what was already organized and so on, some may call this nesting, our dr. said that we should save some of this extra energy because pushing out a baby takes a lot of it. that is why i have been taking naps more and trying to relax as much as possible....wait, im not the one doing the pushing..
I'm so excited for you and brett! And like Joel said, you should have more energy later on during the pregnancy. Being so tired is normal- after all, your body is taking care of yourself AND another little body. You have a right to be exhausted! :)
When I was first pregnant and there were 3 weeks of dishes in the sink, John said, "Well even if you don't do one single thing but exist until the end of the 9 months, you'll still be accomplishing a lot." Somehow that wasn't very comforting.
