I'm still not anywhere near my old self, but am definitely improved over the last few months. This weekend I finished painting the nursery windows and ceiling trim. We installed the crown in about an hour and a half (ladder climbing was about to be the end of me, but thankfully there were only 8 boards). Now I just have to empty and then paint the closet (it's still tangerine which looks painful when you turn on the bare bulb light overhead). I started emptying closets upstairs to logically organize things better around the house.
By Sunday evening I was exhausted, but it was nice to be able to get things done.
Re: 2nd tri energy isn't a total myth
I'm still waiting for it too! I wouldn't say I'm quite as exhausted as 1st Tri, but I haven't been able to sleep very well, so I'm sure that's not helping!
Good job being productive on the baby's room though! I got one wall painted this weekend and quit

I think I actually have LESS energy than in 1st tri but the nausea is easing up so I am ok with that trade off!
