Mamas with babies

chelsea121206

I have a toddler already (17 months) and added working all day, running errands and keeping up with her this evening I feel like I overdoing it. Getting her in and out of the car over and over, carrying her around, etc. How are you other mamas handling it? I can deal with the general exhaustion, but I feel like my body keeps telling me to rest (cramps, shooting pains, etc) but I have to chase after the toddler! My husband helps a lot, but it isn't possible for him to help me 24/7.

I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. My husband has been working crazy hours and is also a fireman. Some nights he doesn't come home until late. I just push through drink way more water than I think I need and try to have a plan. We do bath and bed every night to try and get on a routine.
