Have I been hit by a bus?

29.5 weeks here and just starting to get stuff for our nursery. We got our crib about a month ago, but today we hit up ikea to pick up a dresser, a poang chair, and some shelving for the closet. We put together the chair and dresser today and boy am I feeling it (he helped, but I'm the more handy one in this duo) Now I know why they say to get that stuff done before your third trimester! We were going to put it off another few weeks--thank goodness we didn't. Oof! If you haven't done it yet, don't wait! I'm so sore as if I'd done a long hike or something. And another thing, putting together furniture is not as fun when you're not throwing down a sixer I-)

We went by IKEA this weekend and picked up a crib and the Poang rocking chair. It's our plan to get them built tomorrow evening...the thought of waiting any longer makes me cringe, and I finally cracked and made us go to get the items!

I feel you. Our house is completely torn apart from trying to get our renovations and to-do lists done so that we can concentrate on baby stuff, and I had so many plans for this weekend while DH is out of town. I got about 5% of it done. My ass was glued to the couch. So...tired.......

I feel you, big time!  I deep cleaned half of my house yesterday and I could hardly move by last night.  I slept terribly because my body was in so much pain.  Ugh..

This. My house is a wreck and lately I barely have enough energy to finish the laundry...let alone any of the projects/renovations/deep cleaning we need to get done. DH has been working a lot lately and even when he's not, he's not the biggest help with cleaning or organizing the house. I'm not even 27 weeks yet and feel soooooo tired all the time...and I have terrible back pain. I feel like I'm lucky if I get 5% of my to-do list done. I really didn't expect to be so exhausted and uncomfortable at this point. I'm a FTM, but really thought I would have another good 8 weeks or so before doing things became so difficult.

My house is a disaster!  I used to have someone clean for me a couple of times of month, but we're having a lean year so it's been awhile since I've had her come.  And as for the tiredness...Oy!  I had bloodwork done last week and I was hoping my iron levels were super low so that there would be a fix...nope...it's all just part of the fun!

I'm in the exact same situation! We just started putting the nursery together, my husband is trying to quickly finish our basement, and we are having to move a lot of our rooms around to make room for all of the stuff that was in the nursery. Did I also mention we had a wedding this past weekend and have two more weddings the next two weekends in a row! I woke up this morning feeling like complete crap and haven't been able to shake it all day long! Today is the first day I felt like I was in the third trimester.

I feel your pain! We went to a water park on Friday with DS1. Since I'm pg and he's 2, we just took him into the little kids area and into the wave pool. We were there for a little over two hours. While I walked a lot and was standing most of the time we didn't do anything strenuous. The next day I felt like I'd been on an all day hike. It was depressing.

All we did yesterday was hit a few stores, run a few errands, do the weekly rounds at Target. After making dinner I was exhausted and my feet were so sore and swollen. Then there's the losing my breath when I walk up one flight of stairs, from the parking lot to the store. Ridiculous
