Laziness...It's just a pregnancy thing

Now I will admit I have never been the most proactive person in this world (or even my house) but it seems that lately I have just been an absolute couch potato.

Case in point: 
My house is currently a sloppy mess
I have unopened mail from at least 3 weeks
I have not updated our budget and have caused a tight money squeeze the last 2 months
There is no access to one area of my garage due to items we have yet to unpack from our trip....our Christmas trip)
I have yet to catch up on the laundry
We have not had a complete homemade meal in who knows when
My dogs have been on maybe a total of 5 walks in 2011
I have exercised a total of  0 times this year
I made minimum effort to celebrate Valentine's Day this year, a holiday I normally love
and these are the things were not that embarrassing to tell you about :(

I am a mess!

But truly and honestly it seems that since about Thanksgiving, I have lost all motivation and energy to get anything accomplished around here. It is a wonder how we have survived so long. I am so grateful a messy house doesn't phase Jeremy or the dogs. And for once, I am thankful that family doesn't live nearby to casually stop by and see my disaster.

Of course I am going to blame this on the pregnancy. If I wasn't exhausted, I was nauseous. If  I wasn't nauseous, I was exhausted. And if I happened to be feeling ok, I was at work. Thank God, there were a few times when I did feel pretty well and was able to get things done or else our living conditions would be unlivable.

I am finally in my second trimester and so thankful that a lot of my symptoms have calmed down considerably, but the motivation still has yet to return. I used to cry on days when I went to bed without everything being in its place and now I see the mess and just decide to leave more things out since it just goes with the current decor. :(

I have a four-day weekend this week and am looking very forward to feeling good and getting this house in shape. So if you don't hear from me in a few days-don't panic, I am just cleaning. (Oh wait, I have been too lazy to write on here too, so that won't be anything new :)

All joking aside, although I hate a dirty house and unorganized chaos that stems from me feeling unwell, I couldn't be happier....these are all signs that my baby is growing and living in me...What a miracle!
