So I'm Not Lazy!

Or at least not THAT lazy!! This pregnancy has been so exhausting. I have a hard time getting up in the morning and I feel like I can never get going during the day. I figured it was part of being pregnant having two young children to deal with and just kept my mouth shut. I didn't need anyone saying I was being whiney!

I went do my routine bloodwork last Thursday (including my glucose test YUCK!). Friday I had to bring Adi to the doctor, while I was gone my OBs office called. They never called on my cell and I didn't check the caller ID until after their office was closed for the day. Over the weekend I felt HORRIBLE. I felt like I couldn't breathe, I was weak, dizzy, the works. Monday morning I called the doctor first thing in the morning. The nurse/midwife told me that I am severly anemic. I explained what was going on that weekend and she said that could very well be caused by the anemia. They prescribed iron supplements to take in addition to my prenatals. Today is day 2 and while I don't feel like I have anymore energy I also don't feel like I am going to pass out!

I can't wait for the nesting to kick in! I want to get some meals and snacks in the freezer before the baby comes. I am doing what I can to save my sanity those first few months!!!

Erin's hotSacks Giveaway

I have been following Erin's blog JANE4girls for a while now. She is doing a hotSacks giveaway. I have always wanted to bring my own bags to the store but I guess I was a little embarassed. These bags are too cool though! They don't have a store logo on them so you can use them anywheres. Check out the hotSacks page and see all they have to offer. I especially like the Ultimate Bag Set that holds all of your other bags! Oh, and don't forget about the produce bags!

If you would like to enter the giveaway as well check it out here!

First Step to Order

I think it has finally hit me that I will have 3 kids in about 3 months. Crystal at Biblical Womanhood is doing a series on regaining structure in her home. Her first step is to stick to her morning routine. You can read more about it here. I figure it can't hurt to try and follow along with her.

Here is my proposed morning routine:
1) 5:45 Up and out of bed, eat breakfast
2) Light exercise for about 20 minutes
3) Get dressed and make myself 'presentable' ;)
4) Get Adi's clothes out and make sure all of her school work is together
5) At 6:30 get Adi up and ready for school
6) Adi catches the bus around 7:10
7) Start a load of laundry
8) Get breakfast ready for KK

I have some ideas for scheduling the rest of the day but I want to get this down before I go on to the next step.
