{Exhausted}

I feel like I have a ton going on, but I'm not sure if it's just me not having ANY energy what-so-ever! I don't know what it is about this pregnancy, but I am exhausted.....all the time. I have no energy to do anything when I get home from work and its killing me. If you know me, you know I love to clean, organize, and be all wifey and mommy. Not right now. All I want to do is put jammies on, throw a blanket over me, and cuddle on the couch while I watch my Lily girl play with her Lego's. My amazing husband knew that I was so tired so he took care of dinner. He even brought it out to me with a big glass of orange juice. When I was pregnant with Lily I had a pitcher of orange juice every day! Looks like my craving is back, but this time I'll do orange juice in moderation. All that sugar made me gain 60 pounds! Thankfully I lost all but 10 pounds before I got pregnant again.

I am officially 10 weeks today and I'm feeling pretty good. I would totally share a picture with you, but like I said I am exhausted and doing my hair and make up is not a priority for me right now. See.....I'm totally not myself! I am doing better drinking water thanks to everyone who's encouraging me to drink drink drink. Yesterday I started walking at the track with Lily in the stroller and my girlfriend Nicole. We talked about everything you could imagine and sure enough we had walked 2 miles just like that! I felt great, finally I am doing something. Making time to be active, but still spend time with my baby girl even after working a 9 hour day. We have made a commitment to walking 4 days a week. If we can't walk on that day due to weather or whatever we must workout at home for 1 hour. I can do this! Having a fit pregnancy is very important to me. I want to make sure that this baby and I are as healthy as we can be especially since I've been so sick. I would love to be able to go to the gym and lift weights and do cardio, but I tried it once and I was so sick afterwards. So until my throwing up subsides a little, its going to be walking and pregnancy pilates for this mama.

This past weekend I barely peeled myself of the couch long enough to try and find something to wear. Since my tummy is poking out pretty far all of my skinny clothes that I was trying to fit back into made me cry once again. So Lily sat on the floor and watched me have a mommy panic attack as I took all of the skinny clothes out of my closet and replace it with the maternity clothes that I have. It was hard to do, but I'm happy to be growing a little baby for Lily to play with. Bigger picture right? It's difficult sometime to look at the bigger picture, but I couldn't be happier. I even managed to get an entire bag of donations together. Purging and cleaning out what I'll never wear again. Why did I hold on to so many things if I'm never going to wear them again.

My next big project is to get Lily's baby clothes organized by size. If I have another girl, everything will be ready and organized. In the meantime, my sister-in-law Jenn just had a baby girl so Lily's clothes can be shared with her! Saving money and getting use out of the adorable girly clothes that we were given.

Little projects in the hopper include making gifts for the Cooper Triplets birthday party this weekend. I even borrowed a sewing machine so that I can get these projects completed. Tomorrow I am also starting to work on a tin star that I am making for my girlfriend Valerie. She has such an adorable little family and I can't wait to make it for her.

Seriously...How cute are they!

I am also working on details for Lily's 1st birthday party! I have to make the invitations, party hats, schedule her 1st birthday pictures, and so much more......I'll tell you all about that later. I told you I had a lot going on....well I feel like it at least. I'll get it all done, I am super mom and I can totally do it all! Right?
