You guys must be some hardcore bad-asses. I salute you and your hardcoreness because I can't imagine feeling this shitty and trying to take care of kids or go to work! Seriously, you guys are amazing.
I gotta toughen up!
Thanks. You just do what you gotta do and you enjoy the extra hour your husband gives you on a Sunday morning. He got up with the kids today and I got to just lie in bed until 8am. It was heaven....now it's breakfast, dishes, laundry and clean house day, all with a side of nausea.
lol. actually I feel the best in the morning typically, which is good cuz I get up at 5:30 for work. by the time work is done, about 2:30 (I'm a teacher) I'm exhausted and crabby. lol. My husband is awesome at home with helping me do everything!

I couldn't do it without my husband! He does just about everything around the house and with our daughter. I can barely function at work - so bad I had to tell my boss so she didn't think I was spacing out at work (or coming in and spreading the flu)! This Thanksgiving (this weekend in Canada) I am thankful for my amazing husband! And my parents have been helping a lot too!

Thank you haha... I feel like a complete idiot. I told DH the other day, why in the hell did I think this was a good idea? Having a toddler while going through the first trimester. Plus having a full time job and a PRN job (as needed job).
Yep, not necessarily a bad-ass...just a dumbasss (well working two jobs that is). I am truly thankful for the miracle growing in my belly, and for my little man. But sometimes it really is hard.
It's a little tougher, working and having kids while pregnant and honestly, I haven't been on top of all the house stuff lately. DH helps a lot and I take a nap when my daughter does and we tend to settle for cereal or frozen pizza for dinner lately. I was on bed rest for a week because I ruptured a blood vessel on the placenta.... that got me comfortable with the idea of it's ok if the house is a mess and we don't cook dinner every night. The upside to all the family and work chaos and soon, holiday craziness, is that time seems to go by faster and so does the pregnancy.
I only work PT and have a toddler but my DH works 65+ hours a week (many nights & weekends) but I do not feel like a super mom lately. I feel like a super crappy queasy mom.
Haha, thanks. You do what you gotta do. When I was pregnant with my son, it was tougher cuz I was sicker, and my daughter was a lot younger then. It was tough. This time, she's a lot more independent, but all I wanna do is lie around and puke in peace! Having an almost 3 year old doesn't allow for that.
I must say that I am lucky and have not been sick with either pregnancy (knocks on wood)! Thankfully I only work part time and have a lot of support from my husband and family because I have been beyond exhausted lately!

Thanks. As PP said, the house work has gone to pot, and we eat a lot of junk food now because I'm just too tired to make a good meal. I'm pretty much over the worst of the m/s, although I spend a lot of time "not feeling good." Mostly I'm trying to overcome the exhaustion. It's so much worse this time. I'm really struggling. Thank God I have an intern at work, which makes my job super easy, but I spend most of the morning desperately trying to stay awake!
I always wondered how my sister did it and now here I am. You just figure it out because you have to - and you never feel like you're good enough really. I go through waves of feeling good and being motivated, but a lot of the time I'm tired nauseous and just don't feel good or motivated.
I was just thinking this morning about everything I have to do this week alone, and I'm basically a single mom right now while my husband is in the fields with harvest (6am to 10pm). It sucks, but when you look at the little one you have it helps to remind you how much it's worth it - most of the time ! I just have to take one day and one hour at a time and don't expect or promise more than the necessary.
Honestly? There's no time to feel PG. I'm serious. With Brynn I forgot I was PG until I looked down at my belly. This time? I'm sure it will be even worse!

I am SO grateful I have a flexible job, because if I'm not feeling well, I just don't work.
I lie around the house A LOT. Its kinda sad.

As for cooking,cleaning, and sex....bye bye...lol
