Pissed at my body.

Now, I know it's normal to need to slow down, and I am NOT a clean freak, by any stretch of the imagination, but I am tired of being so tired and sore!!! My in laws will be here in two weeks and everything is gross. My vents, blinds, etc. I need to do the bathrooms, but can't. It's all I can do to go to work, make dinner, and bathe my kid. My husband helps out a lot, but he works a ton, so he doesn't have the time to do everything that needs to be done. 

Mid hire a maid, but that costs money.

Im just whiny, I guess. I could still scrub the toilets and vacuum when I was 36 weeks with dd... Twins are hard. Blah.

I feel the same way.  After I do one simple chore such as fold a load of laundry,  I feel the need to sit down and rest.  I took a batch of deli cookies to my son's class for his birthday party last week---I usually make cute cupcakes, but I just didn't have the energy.  I have been so surprised at how much more fatigued I feel with these twins.

I'm sorry you are feeling down, but I'm also happy to hear I'm not alone! This is my first pregnancy (triplets?!) and its been very difficult for me to adjust my expectations for what I can get done in a day. If I can make dinner after working all day its a success! My inlaws came around 8 weeks, and everything was not up to my standards. I had a TON of anxiety about it, but you know what? I lived through it. And they still love me. I think there is a "pregnancy pass" that can excuse dusty blinds and store bought cookies...and I think its greater with multiples. I hope you get a great nights sleep tonight. (Ugh, Monday feels so dreadfully close right now)

Yeah, I know they won't care... But I do! I just need to get over it. My fil will cook the whole time if I ask him too, and my mil would clean, lol. She doesn't clean to be snotty, like I didn't do well enough, she's honestly trying to help, but that embarrasses me.

I feel your pain specially since there are 4 other children in my home!  I did however just hire another housekeeper.  Find a private individual (angies list or ask around) do not higher anyone that is not insured or bonded though. It is not as pricey as you think. Hugs.

You are definitely not alone ! Just getting up in the morning and taking a shower/getting dressed and cooking dinner that night takes alot out of me ! I love to cook but have Found myself buying taco kits and jarred spaghetti sauce for dinner ! As for cleaning .... I usually clean the toilets/sinks/ countertops one day and mop/ sweep another day but getting motivated to get it done takes awhile ! Lol then after i get it done Im so miserable/exhausted ! Thats just me though ! Its nice to see that Im not the only one that is having a hard time with this !

I haven't cleaned much at all since being pregnant - poor DH has had to do almost everything.  For weeks I was just too sick and tired to do anything more than go to work.  Then a few weeks ago I started to have a bit more energy and right before we went away on our trip I did do some cleaning.  Not as much as I would have liked and DH still did most of it.

we have cleaners that come every other week, and if it weren't for them, i'd have the flthiest house in the neighborhood.  I am short (5 feet with shoes on), and the bigger i get the harder it is to do simple stuff liek put away dishes or reach into the washer to pull laundry out.  Thankfully the cleaners do all the hard stuff like vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms, so i can expend all my energy on that last sock in the corner of the washer. 

However, at 32w4d, I am at the point where I'm pretty much usless as anything else but designated driver.

I totally feel you!  My birthday is one week from today and every time my hubby asks what I want, I tell him to hire a maid service to clean the house.  I hope he listens....

*Hugs* I think I wrote almost exactly this post around 25 weeks. All I can say is that if anyone has offered to help you or owes you any favors, call them up! That's really the only way my house has stayed sanitary these past few months. 

As hard as it is, it'll be worth it to rest.

My hubby was working away from home 4-5 days/week when I was pregnant, so he wasn't home to pick up the slack. I swear I lived like a college student- messy house, eating cereal for dinner, rushing to pick up the night before he'd get home. I serious felt more tired during that time than during the crazy sleep deprived first few months after the fellas were born.
