And we're back to work...

Well, vacation is over for us.  We returned to work today, and I must say, getting up at 6 am again was not exactly easy.  Over the break I had been sleeping in until between 9 and 10 am pretty much every day, so 6 am was a little bit painful.  Lucky for me, my work week is short, otherwise I'm not sure how I would last.  From what I've heard, 2nd trimester is supposed to be much better than the first (less sick, less tired, more happy, etc etc..), but so far I'm not impressed.  Still tired, still days where I have no appetite, and not to mention my new inability to exercise.  I went for a jog the other day, and was wiped out.  In fact, over the weekend, I made Mark go for a WALK with me.  Now I'm not the "walk" kind of person.  If I'm going to invest time and energy into exercising, I'm going to go for a run... well, not lately.  Now, I walk.   So yeah, I'm waiting for 2nd trimester "goodness" to kick in so I can feel normal again.  And so Mark can not make fun of me for going for a walk, rather than a jog.

I have also been reading my fair share of pregnancy books and browsing websites, and I hear all these stories of how emotional women seem to be getting pretty much throughout pregnancy.  Like crying over commercials, or at movies, or random things.  Oh no, not me.  I am definitely not getting that symptom at all.  I have yet to cry once, so we'll see how long it lasts.  I must say though, Mark and I have been drawn to movies with babies in them... although partly by coincidence.  Yesterday we watched 3 Men and a Baby (it was on TV) and the other day we watched the Hangover, and I can see Mark cannot wait for our baby to get here!  I, on the other hand, am enjoying my 10 hours of sleep a night, so I'm going to savor that while I still can.  :)  Of course those 10 hours of sleep are not in a row, of course.  Seeing how I have to get up to pee at least 3 times a night.  But I suppose I'll take what I can get.

But anyway, work was pretty good today, the boys look so much older already, and we had lots of fun today.  I have now told the people I work for that I am pregnant, and they are very happy for me, and are impressed that I was able to look after the boys during the first trimester.  Little did they know that there were many days when I napped when the boys napped... all 3 times per day.  He he.  But after sharing my news with them, they armed me with some new reading material, so I should be kept busy for a little while.

Anyway, here's picture of Hugo after adventures eating sand at the beach. It was his first trip to the beach, and he wasn't quite sure what to think, so getting smiles out of him was a little tough.  Just think,  in 6 months we'll have one of our own of these!

Mark and Mimi--Congratulations!! What fantastic news. I had not checked your blog while we were on vacation over the holidays, so we got the news when we opened George's Christmas letter. What a great surprise!! I e-mailed Ben and Caitlin today, and they both wish you well. I will definitely be checking the blog often for more updates.
