Spill the beans

So now that certain people have been told, I guess it's time to spill the beans.  I am at just shy of 16 weeks pregnant.  I have my second apt on Monday.  At the first one the doctor was having a hard time hearing the heart beat, so he sent me in for an ultrasound.  It was so fun to see the baby wave to me, roll around, kick and everything that I thought it was way to early for it to do. I love ultrasounds, they are so wonderful to make you just so much more excited for the impending future.
Now, how has the pregnancy gone so far?   Not that fun.  I am unable to eat dairy, if I have syrup on my breakfast, I am out for the count the rest of the day (there goes most of my breakfasts), I'm extremely weak, and I'm still very tired, but I'm still very excited!  I keep hoping that the weakness will go away, but it seems to want to stick around.
A typical day is I get up, take a shower, make breakfast, usually get the girls something, do dishes, and go back to bed.  A nap by 9:00 is pretty typical for me.  I then get to tutor for 1-2 hours, try to eat something, feed kids, get Jez down for a nap, and lay down myself.  I drag my self out of my room, wake JJ up, and try to make dinner while grumpy kids complain to me.  After eating, I either tutor or go lay down again.  By about 8-8:30 I have enough energy to get the kids moving to bed.
I have had some good days, but they are rare.  I do get about one cleaning project a day in, but with 3 kids home all day, there is no way of keeping this house clean.  I've gotten good at averting my eyes and not letting things bug me too much.  Just a heads up I need about a weeks notice for visitors to get my house clean :-) .
Avi and Dai are hoping for a girl, JJ says its a boy, but she also says that there are 2 or 3 in there.  I'm just trying to not get my hopes up either way, and Nathan is resigned to the fact that we don't make boys.  4 more weeks to find out.
