This is me. This is me hitting the wall.

I'm to that point, ladies. Had to give DS1 a bath by myself last night and thought I might die. Picking him up is nearly impossible and makes me so sad but I'm a weak little 4'10 chick as it is so add the belly to trying to pick up a 30 pound toddler and yeah, it's not easy, as a lot of you know. I have to sleep sitting up or I burp all night with fire roaring up my throat and then I wake up in the morning feeling like the mob took a baseball bat to both of my hips. Oh and can we also talk about how there are only certain bathrooms at work I can use? Some of the older ones have counters that are so big I literally can't reach the soap dispensers mounted behind them because my aforementioned short stature make it so the belly can't clear the counter and just smacks right into it. And lastly, as of last night I think Quinn got the memo about the csection and thinks he can burrow through a path previously made by Aiden. Buddy, stop trying to launch yourself directly out of the front of my belly. No bueno

IT'S A BOY
5'1"
Belly is measuring over 40 weeks
28 lb toddler who wants to sit on the potty 65049738 times a day but then poo in her diaper
Toddler thinks I'm a jungle gym
My hips equal zero sleep
Wyatt's head is completely engaged and he enjoys rotating it 180 every night, which is super creepy and painful
I too have the fire burps
Can barely reach the pedals in our stupid car without moving the seat so far forward that my belly is squished under the steering wheel

That sounds heinous :-/ And I totally hear you on the car thing. Being short ain't joke, folks!

Add me to the toddler jungle gym.
DS1 is 30lbs and has a melt down every time I tell him he has to walk down vs me carrying him down the stairs.
DS2 wants to sit on top of my bump, with his head resting on my shoulder, if my hair is down he tries to eat it.
I got spoiled with DH handling bath time. Now he's back at work, my kids may just get sprayed down with the garden hose.
My hip pain keeps me up at night. I get so sweaty and hot that I'm going to start sleeping on a towel.
not being able to get out of the car without feeling like Im going to pull the sterring wheel out of the dash
not being able to get up from my back. I mean, it's really sexy.
spitting up hot fire of acid reflux all freaking night long.
Hmm... my list:
There are NO accessible stalls where I work. It's acrobatics to get in and out because they aren't even the current standard size of a regular size stall.
Baby thinks curling up in my right side and then what feels like a full stretch/attempt to stand is fun. No, it's torture.
I'm sick of needing Zofran. I want to stop taking pills!!!!
Our lil' diva: late like her Momma: 40 weeks 5 days!
DS gets showers these days - I hate the tub in his bathroom, so haven't really used it for him since we moved in in January. It has the sliding glass doors, and he moves to where I can't reach him. Our bathroom has a good-sized shower stall, and I am so grateful he's used to the showers now so I don't have to worry about the tub.
My worst complaint is that Baby Girl seems to want to exit through my hip.
I feel your pain, literally! I am SO much more exhausted this time around. Working full time and being pregnant was tired before, don't get me wrong, but having a toddler adds a whole new level of exhaustion.
DH also had surgery last week, and has been recovering (i.e. he's not sleeping well either), so the two of us take turns keeping each other up at night.
Ugh!
Not long now though, we are in the home stretch!!
