I really don't know how anyone who already has a child is getting through this first trimester...I can't even imagine. All I want to do is lay in bed and try to not be nauseous.

Seriously, you all are super mommies and I think you are awesome.

Amen!

haha, I remember posting the same when I had no children yet. Its hard no doubt, but its a matter of perspective. When you have kids you are already tired, so its a state of being anyway, so a little more doesn't hurt Plus you just conserve energy as much as you can haha.

The m/s is a biitch when you have a little one, (or two or more ) but we dont have a way out and it doesnt last forever

When DS is wide awake all I want to do is take a nap but when he naps I'm wide awake! Oh well! At least I have a baby free vacation coming up and can't wait to get some sleep!

I was wondering the same thing! If possible I want a giant horde of kids, but m/s is really kicking my booty right now so I wonder how that will be possible. DH suggested that I could hire a nanny to watch the kids for a few hours a day during each first tri just to get some sleep. Not sure if that's lazy parenting or not. I suppose I'll find out how I really feel once the situation arises.

Ditto all of this. I'm tired as hell now, but it's got nothing on breastfeeding around the clock and my child waking up 6-8 times a night for the first 6 months of his life and not consistently STTN until well over a year. Perspective changes a lot.

very true When DS was under a few months, I looked back and looonged for my days of having an inside baby who was easier to take care of Of course, I LOVED having him, but you dont know tired until you are there.

You get through it because you have to. There's always a way.

That's not lazy parenting. That's innovative parenting! LOL Honestly, I'm toying with the idea of sending K to daycare a little more so I can get some sleep. She's going a lot right now because I'm doing a lot of subbing, but once that slows down, she usually only goes once a week for a few hours. She loves going and she eats lunch better there than at home, so it's win-win for everybody!
