Peaceful Saturday Mornings

I love Saturday mornings.  Everything seems so peaceful and calm.  There's no screeching alarm clock, no pressing things on my mind.  Saturday mornings are my time to read blogs, books, my Bible and feel every precious movement that the baby makes.  That's probably my favorite.  I just lay in bed with my hands on my belly and enjoy.  This morning as I was enjoying what seemed to be tap dancing in my belly, I realized what a change our Saturday mornings will soon experience.  And while I could lament the loss of my lazy, peaceful Saturdays, I am looking forward to hearing those early morning cries, seeing those feet kick, and spending time with the baby in my arms.  I will cherish these peaceful Saturdays and look forward with excitement to the unpeaceful Saturdays in my future.
Happy Saturday!

What my days look like now

I know that I set myself up for failure last week when I told you about all the awesome stuff I was going to be writing about last week.  Obviously only one of those posts happened because I found myself sick and with absolutely no energy to do anything but sleep and watch Gilmore Girls.  But thankfully I am feeling much better now after a great weekend spending time with lots of people.

Adam and I have been very busy lately.  And we are going to stay busy.  These next few months we have something every weekend, which I am so excited about because that means the weeks until baby will go quicker.

I have a lot more energy now and have found that I do not need my afternoon nap so much anymore unless I really didn't sleep well.  This week my center of gravity changed.  It's hard to get up off the couch, it's hard to tie my shoes, and it's just hard to bend in general.

Adam and I have set into a pretty comfortable routine with our weekdays and I'm finally able to keep up with some of the housework regularly.  But I know that this is all about to end, or so I've heard, as I go into the third trimester.  I can't believe that I only have 3 more months until the baby is born!  What an adventure!

Wonderful Weekends

Weekends are wonderful things.  And I seem to enjoy them even more now that I'm pregnant.  On the weekends, I get to sleep in as late as I want, I get to spend whole days with my husband, and recently I have a bunch of energy.

During the week I work and have other commitments and so I'm usually worn out in the evenings and do not want to do housework or anything else that needs to be done.  Needless to say, recently the housework has gotten away from me--big time.  During the weekend though, I'm on my own schedule and that gives me a surge of energy.  I can finally get things done!

So far this weekend Adam and I have:
-done all the dishes
-cleaned the kitchen and bathroom
-de-cluttered and straightened the whole house
-finally have some clean laundry
-watched a movie together
-finished Arrow season 2 together
-put our bed on risers, which allowed for the purchase and filling of 3 under the bed containers
-cleaned and organized the nursery
-wrote thank you notes for the baby gifts we have received so far
-enjoyed a refreshing Sunday morning at church

This afternoon I plan to complete the first step on a project for the nursery.  And then going to volunteer at the youth group party.

Sounds like a great weekend to me!  And even though I have done a lot and am a little tired from it, getting things done on the weekend energizes me.  So I may have gone to bed sore last night, but I was happy about it because I had worked for it.

What about you?  Are weekends when you get things done, or when you rest from everything you did during the week?
