Overwhelmed

Momma, I’d love to say it gets easier but it just continues haha. Gotta love the life of being a mommy 🤪. I’ve got two already. My son is almost 4 and my daughter is obviously 15 months. I’m constantly overwhelmed. My laundry never gets put away, it always gets folding and basically stays on our ottoman until we wear it all and I do wash again 😅. The dishes, shit I feel like I run the dishwasher 3 times a day (and i work full time so I don’t think that’s possible), and the toys. Ahhh!!! I clean them up so my house looks semi straightened up and before I know it, it looks like a bomb went off again. I’m trying to learn to accept that this is what my life is currently. One day I’ll miss all of this. When my babies are moved out and I’m and empty nester I’ll miss cleaning up after that and having them run through my house screaming at all hours of the day. That all being said, when I went in to delivery our daughter (I had her at 6:06 am) they told me that since I have had a baby before I didn’t have to do the typical 2 night stay. I could leave the next day If I wanted too. I’m not even lying, I told them no thanks. I’d like to stay. And that was all because I wanted that vacation of 1. Having an extra day to bond with my baby girl before going home to my son as well. 2. A little time to process it all especially since she came so unbelievably quick. And 3. To get waited on for just one extra day haha. It truly was a little vacation.

Same. I need a new word for “exhausted” and “over it”.

I feel the same way. I feel like I really need some rest but it’s very low on my very long to do list

You’re definitely not alone! Congrats on your pregnancy 🤰🏻

I already have two kids- so I’m not going to lie to you and say it gets easier... it’s hard. But there are times they are entertained with each other and you can get some things done. But I still feel very overwhelmed keeping up with everything (I’m also ocd about my house so that doesn’t help) and teleworking. It’s a constant juggling act

Yes! I was gonna say add being pregnant to it and you beat me to it! Lol! And you are much further along. I've been very overwhelmed!You got this!

I’m due with number 2 in August and my husband is taking a night class right now. Between juggling work, house chores, toddler, and general pregnancy fatigue we’re very much in survival mode right now. Just trying to take it one day at a time

Same. I am due in September and am just exhausted all the time. My daughter is a whirl wind and destroys the house daily. My husband thought he was being helpful when he said I could take a break by going grocery shopping while he stayed with her.
