I finally got over the first trimester, which was harder for me this time then I was with the first. As you know when you are pregnant your body goes through many changes. I have a two year old who is my littler partner in crime. I feel so guilty because I just can't do as much with her like I used to i.e. park etc. Its not that I don't want to its just that I am tired all the time and do not have the energy like I used to before I got pregnant. Can anyone relate to my ordeal? If so, please give me some insight.
I know what you mean! When I was pregnant w/ my second my daughter just turned 3 and all I could do was lay around. It passed at least for the second trimester. I would try to do lots activities where we could lounge around. We watched her favorite movies, read books, worked on puzzles and stuff like that. If ever I felt and energetic day we ran w/ it and took advantage.

I so feel you on this. I'm only 7 weeks pregnant and am so tired! I feel gulity for napping when my two year old son naps. I remember being this tired in my first trimester with him as well but I wasn't busy chasing a toddler around all day either!
I remember those days. My children are exactly 18 months apart. I was so exhausted through out my second pregnancy, but my mom made up for my absence. I also would try to make up for this by doing things that I could with my first born, such as watching her favorite shows and playing games with her. It is harder with the second pregnancy then it is with the first.
Guilt is a hard thing to deal with, but remember that once the two kids are playing together it is well worth it. Mine adore eachother and have become so close.
Keep in there and hold your head high. It won't be so bad once it's all over. ~_^
I think that being pregnant with the second was 10X harder than actually haveing two kids. When you pregnant all you want to do is just sleep and you can't do that with a little one. I eventually got my energy back after giving birth. But i'm sure every one agrees that all the pain and discomfort and lack of energy is well worth it in the end.
I am right there with you, I have a 23 month old little girl, I am 5 1/2 months prego and I work full time, I am SOO tired all the time, first time around it's easier I think becuase you don't have a toddler, and I feel bad that she has to get used to mommy not being as "fun" as she once was. but at the end of the day I have to believe that there have been many many other mothers who have gone thru this, and there family's have turned out just fine, I am being all I can be for everyone at the moment, and thats all I can do. I love my girl more then words can say, and I tell her that all the time, she know's mommy love's her, and in some little way I think she understands!
I Agree with all of you but i am not chaseing a toddler....I'm 11 weeks pregnant with a six month old..She'll be just over 13 months old when i have baby number 2.. kinda worried about how this will work out with me being a single mom.but hopfully it wont be too hard.
You will do find! Believe that your will never be handed a situation that you can't handle. You may get tired and just feel like staying on the couch/bed all day, fine you have to do what is in your best interest. Support is all you need. Where here for you always!!

Don't feel guilty for napping when your son does! You need your rest just as much as he does, especially when you're busy growing another little one inside you. I still nap with my 3-year-old when I really need it, and I'm not even pregnant! :-)

I know exactly what you're going through! I'm 16 weeks pregnant so I just got over my first trimester too. This baby will be our third and so far, this pregnancy is so much different then my other 2 (which are girls, so the difference gives me hope the baby's a boy lol). Even though I was to exhausted to do anything with my daughters they still enjoyed just laying with mommy on the couch and cuddling or sitting on my lap while they watch cartoons or coloring with me at the kitchen table or on the living room floor. I did the easy activities with them while my hushand took over the more active ones. :) It's too cold to go outside but my girls are so full of energy they want me to follow them around the house and jump and dance with them and I was not feeling up to it. But it gets better... hopefully! I'm in my second trimester now and I'm feeling so much better as far as energy! Good luck and congrats on the baby!
Oh I can relate. I'm finally getting my energy back at 20 weeks and its now gross outside everyday. Before I used to take my son on walks around the neighborhood everyday and now that my energy is back its always rainging and cold outside! I feel so bad for him. And I'm still exhausted, at least I'm done being sick.
