TIRED, Toddler & creating life 😴😵‍💫

This second pregnancy has been exhausting!! I have a 18 month old who requires so much attention, I'm constantly squatting, picking her up (25lbs) chasing her around...half the time I hardly have energy to just make her a bowl of cereal lol 😂 I'm now 26 weeks pregnant and this routine can be so overwhelming...the further along I'm getting the harder it is... any other moms feeling this way, would love to hear stories it helps me know I'm not alone ♥️

Ohhhh sweet fellow mama- my heart could’ve written this today!! I have an almost 18 month old and, yep! This. Alllllll this. His sissy will be entering the picture when he’s 18 months old and Oye. I feel this. Did I mention MIL got on me today about being exhausted? Gave examples of people that are able to “just function” through pregnancy and everything (“people go to full on work all the way through pregnancies all the time(I’m sort of new to being a SAHM)! You could just get a lawn chair and pop it in the backyard and let your son play ball while you sit(nope. Sitting is not a thing with a toddler, as we know. lol) You should also check your iron levels cause being this exhausted isn’t normal(iron levels are fine lol). It’s not that hard.”)… Sincerely, A very tired fellow toddler momma who’s 33 weeks along 💕

Yesss totally feel you🫶🏻 30 weeks with a 20 month old and I’m sooo tired all the time. I feel guilty for not being able to keep up playing with him like I used to since he’s soo full of energy now but know it won’t last forever and I’ll be giving him a baby brother soon!

@Ashley aww momma! Congratulations on your pregnancy! ♥️ & Thanks for sharing! 💗 omg I'm sorry you had to even hear that, any type of criticism on "how you should feel" is totally annoying! So sorry for that. As women all of our experiences are different especially the way our bodies react to pregnancy. Unless you're going through it you have NO IDEA. Haha waking up to a toddler who just needs constant attention and all you want to do is sleep an extra hour haha 😆 I wish we could just lounge while they play pshh. 😅 But sending all the love and encouragement your way! 🙏🏽♥️ its hard out here in these pregnant toddler streets but it's nice to know we got our momma tribes to vent too hehe 😘

@Shelby I totally understand! That guilt definitely kicks in for me as well! But like you said how fun will it be for them to have a playmate for life! ♥️ & congratulations on your pregnancy! Thank you for sharing

@EVE Girl for real!! I’m actually really looking forward to the “different type of tired” people talk about after having subsequent babies lol Like yes, sleep deprivation? Not fun. But at least I’ll have a body that can sort of keep up with a toddler and like others have said, I’m so excited to see the bond he and his sissy are going to have someday💕💕

Yep I feel you. I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have a 14kg Velcro toddler boy who wants to be carried, picked up, played with constantly. He throws a tantrum if I even try to pause and eat so I’m starving and dizzy a lot. I still breastfeed him on demand and feed him to sleep for naps and throughout the night as we bedshare due to his Velcro nature. So yeah it’s been HARD.
