almost 10 weeks

now i understand why people get cleaners. i didn't understand until today. i'm pretty exhausted and (so far today) intermittently nauseous and there is SO much housework to do. laundry to be done (more than normal because we just had family in town), house to be vacuumed and cleaned. and only those things and already i feel like i'm exhausted after 1 load of laundry in the washer and after vacuuming. i feel like i can't pull it all off like i used to pre-pregnancy. i'm not complaining about being pregnant at all - its just something i didn't realize would be so difficult. and my husband helps with the cleaning, thank goodness, but i feel like i can't keep up my share. and to be honest, he just never gets things clean all the way! he tries though and i appreciate that.
