Those with toddlers at home...

How are you surviving these days? For a while there I had the typical 2nd trimester energy rebound. Felt great, felt like I could conquer the world. Suddenly the last week or so I am completely exhausted, out of breath, I have no energy or patience for our 14 month old and I’m feeling like the world’s worst parent. I feel huge and uncomfortable, and holding my little guy is getting hard because it tugs on my belly which in turn kills my back. Add this to the extra hormones floating around and I’ve just been feeling completely defeated and like crying half the time. How are you other mamas doing? Anyone else feeling this way? May can’t get here soon enough. I know it will come with new challenges of having 2 under 2, but I feel like at least when the hormones start to regulate, and I start to get my body and normal energy levels back... I’ll feel a little more up to the task. Sorry for the super long post, I think I just needed to vent a little and hopefully find some mamas to commiserate with.

Update... thank you ladies so much for all the responses. Honestly it’s just nice to know I’m not alone in these shoes right now. We will get through this and things will get easier again! Those new little ones will make it all worth it when we see them.
