Tired with a 3 year old!

jpavenski · July 2014

I'm 7 weeks with my second child & last time I remember napping a lot especially in the beginning but this time I have my son to keep me busy. He does nap still but of course that's never when I seem to be able to. I'm so tired already all the time, has me not looking forward to the rest of the pregnancy. Anyone else in the same boat?

I'm also in the same boat and wondering how it will work to "sleep when the baby sleeps".... Yeah I don't see that working again

My two year old doesn't nap at daycare, so she's a total joy when I pick her up in the evening. I just keep thinking "3 hours until bed time... 2 hours until bed time..." etc. And then go to bed at 8:30 p.m.

I'm just trying to make it through one day at a time with my 2 yr old & hopefully I will feel better in a few weeks.

Yes I know can't see being able to sleep ever when the baby comes! My son was a great sleeper even when he was waking up 2 or 3 times a night he would go back at like 6 or 7 am until like 10 & I always went back with him!

I feel your pain. My son will be three next week.

My son is two and seems to have an unlimited amount of energy. By the time he naps or goes to bed I am more than ready to crash too.

I have a 2 y/o DD... every day this week I've napped when she's napped and it's been friggen glorious.

I hear you. My toddler doesn't nap.

Yes! It makes me miss my first pregnancy when I could nap after work! Now I get to run around, play, go for bike rides with a few tired tantrums thrown in just to mix things up! Haha! But it's all good, and it will get better

I'm so tired now chasing after my two year old all day! I am really starting to worry about how I am going to handle entertaining a toddler and while taking care a newborn on zero sleep. It'll all work out though, right???

I feel your pain too. DD is trying to give up naps all together and I'm not ready for it. I'm even considering looking into a daycare so I can get some rest! lol I feel like a terrible mom.....

My daughter is teetering on dropping naps. I tell her that she doesn't have to nap, but she needs a rest time. She can read a book or play with her dolls in her room, but she needs to rest for an hour. I'm not saying you have to do that, but that's how I get my naps in as well. After an hour, I go get her out of her room, and we go back to playing outside or doing whatever.
