Accomplishments

I apologize in advance for this post -It might be a little hard to follow. I am a little scatter brained this evening!

I feel like I have accomplished a lot today...which is pretty sad, because I haven't accomplished much.

 

I feel like my house in Idaho was always pretty clean. Sure, it wasn't always spotless and there were times I might have been embarassed if someone came over, but (not to toot my own horn) those moments were rare. I know that a HUGE part of my house being clean was because not only did I not have any kids, but I only worked Monday - Thursday so while Matthew was working hard on Friday, I would stay home and clean.

 

This is not the case in my new home.

 

It has been a while (longer than I would like to admit) since I have done anything around my house. It's getting pretty pathetic. I feel like a have a great excuse right now, though...I'm pregnant! (I blame the babies for everything:) ) I don't have ANY energy! I feel like the simplest task makes me tired. I rarely feel very well and I am working full time not leaving the office until 6:00...until this week. Now I leave at 5:00! 

 

I know this is NOTHING for a lot of people. I will be the first to admit that I have been REALLY spoiled. I have had it SO easy in the past!

 

Anyway, last night I went to bed telling myself that I was going to get up and do SOMETHING to get my home in order. So I woke up this morning (at 9:00 - it was heavenly) and cleaned!!!!!!!  Please don't think that my husband and I are living in complete filth! I have tried to keep up with things, I just prefer my house to be a little cleaner than it has been.

 

This is exciting to me for a couple of reasons:

1) I don't feel guilty every time I walk into my bedroom and see the bed unmade or dirty clothes on the floor.

2) If I need to throw up again, my toilet is clean!

3) I actually felt good enough today to clean my house and do some laundry!!!!

 

Number 3 is my favorite! I am now 14 weeks into my pregnancy and I think (I am praying that I don't jinx this) that I am starting to feel better! I know that some women have it way worse than I do in their first trimester...I know a couple of women that had to be hooked up to an IV almost 24 hours a day. It's not been THAT bad for me. But it's still been fairly rough. I am really hoping that I am getting out of the first trimester "morning sickness!" And if that's the case, then hopefully I will start to get the energy I need to clean my house and cook dinner!!!  I feel like it's been a long time since I've had that kind of energy!

 

 

Anyway, here is a little Babies Sorenson update!

 

I went to see my doctor for my 12 week appointment. My doctor, Dr. McGreggor is so funny! He probably says similar things to all of his patients, but he tells me that he always blocks out extra time for me because he loves twins, and everytime I come see him he wants to do an ultrasound just because he loves twins so much. I guess he wants to see the babies almost as badly as I do!

 

Anyway, "Baby A" was asleep the whole time, so I didn't get to see much of him/her. But "Baby B" was a wild child. I got to see his/her hand balled up in a fist and then he/she stretched out his/her arm and then stretched out his/her leg! I could see the two bones in his/her forearm and we measured a femur. Then he/she opened his/her fist and I could count all of his/her little fingers! It was SO exciting to watch!

 

I can't believe how they have grown and changed in just two short weeks. It is seriously crazy!!!

 

The other night I guess I slept mostly on my right side, because when I woke up in the morning, I think both the babies were on that side of my body. My belly was pretty lop-sided. Matthew and I got a pretty good laugh!

 

We have another ultrasound on May 1st and we are hoping to find out our babies gender!

I can't wait!!!
