24 Weeks

So this week was my first week working my part-time job at Navigator.  I was hired to work 3 hours per day for 6 weeks to help out with testing and intervention.  I am SO glad to have something to do every day.  It helps me get motivated to get out of bed and muscle through the aches and pains.

My parents came to town on Wednesday.  They are still looking for a place down here so they have somewhere to stay when they come to visit.  Originally, they were hoping to find a house, but now they are looking at condos as well.  They brought down their truck so they could pick up our carpet for the living room and the girls' room.  They also brought down a rocker for me to use with the babies.

Overall, it was a good week (work-wise).  I am becoming more uncomfortable, and less able to do things at home.  Basically, once I get home from work, I lie down and check out for the day.  Sounds nice, but it's cramping my style!  I really want to have more energy so I can get things ready for the babies.  I had a goal of getting the girls' cribs put together this week, since we finally got the rug for their room.  I guess it'll have to wait.

Hopefully, I won't get so behind for next week...
