almost there

Almost out of the first trimester and boy am I ready.  It's been just a survival time trying to keep up with kids needs and schooling and the house while constantly feeling I ought to just be flat on the couch as I've mostly felt just yucky.  The twins have asked me several times over the last few weeks, "When are you going to take care of us?"  Poor twins.  The two oldest have been real champs, helping so much with food prep for breakfast and lunch and carrying added responsibility with chores (not that they're at risk of being overworked!).  They have all delighted in the extra allotment of movies, as have I :).  But we're on our way back to normal, for the time being.
