you know you got your 2nd tri energy back when...

mamayo26 · January 2015

you clean your house for the first time in months (including purging your closets) and do 3 loads of laundry all in 1 day.

Ok your turn.

BaytoSA2013 · January 2015

Go to the gym, take down the Christmas tree, help your hubby install a new garage door opener and still manage to cook dinner....yeah I felt pretty freaking invincible!

Keep your toddler home on a day off from work and both manage to not only survive but thrive!

Do the dishes. I wasn't able to do the dishes without gagging. Now I have no problem

jbartsy · January 2015

I worked out 3 days in a row, did all my laundry, washed my curtains, and organized my tupperware cupboard. The fact that I even considered doing the last 2 signifies that I'm no longer in 100% zombie mode.

I am so jealous of all of you right now. I'm still swinging up and down on the energy charts. I wasted a fairly warm day yesterday on the couch. I should have been out doing something to my flower beds.

Ana0927 · January 2015

On most Saturdays I get up at 7:30 and am napping by 9 because I am so exhausted. But this weekend I got up at 6 am to go to the grocery store, took both of my girls to their gym class, cleaned the house, went through bins of clothes looking for bigger bras with no luck, made dinner, and finally did laundry!

starkbaby22 · January 2015

Empty, and I mean EMPTY your basement out and make 3 separate trips to goodwill, consignment and a DIFFERNT goodwill in one morning.

When you actually get off the couch and finish unpacking the bathroom 2 months after you moved...

Exactly this!

What is second tri energy?

I want some

beersandweirs · January 2015

You pack up all your Christmas decorations, go shopping and do a load of laundry all while your husband is out. Then take a 3 mile round trip walk to get lunch.

littlegrapey · January 2015

Catch up on all your laundry, make a grocery trip, prepare 4 dinners to put in the freezer for later this week, make lunch and dinner, and stay up til 10:30 instead of passing out at 8:30.

NoeliaV · January 2015

In one weekend, you:

complete (wash, dry, iron, hang, fold) no fewer than 6 loads of laundry

clean and shine the sink every night before bed

organize the downstairs/entryway closet

clean off the dining room table, aka: the "first trimester catch all spot"

do a Target *and* a grocery store run

clean out and organize the kitchen pantry

care for a sick toddler

And, you have to force yourself to go to sleep at 10pm, because there's still so much cleaning/organizing to do!

Oh, hello nesting. Fancy meeting you here. :P

tiffbot1985 · January 2015

Put makeup on and straighten my hair before taking DS to Monday morning mom and tot play time in town!

ETA-I probably could have just finished at 'put make up on' haha.

mamayo26 · January 2015

@Budders12 My OB said it might take until week 20, so you could still get it soon! Fingers crossed, for those still waiting for theires to kick-in.

betsyplunkett12 · January 2015

Cooked two meals in the same day on the stove/in the oven (no microwaving!)

aagenthner · January 2015

Please oh please give me some of this!!! I can not find motivation to do anything!!! I feel awful for hubs and DD we've been watching movies for two weeks straight I think!! It also doesn't help that I can not kick these dang headaches that keep me from being able to lift my head without feeling as though I may lose my gut!!!

leenziepops · January 2015

When people tell you that you're glowing

lmfs90 · January 2015

I haven't napped in 3 days! Yay!! Also spent all day yesterday walking around St.Petersburg and been actually able to do fun activities!!

LadySif · January 2015

I need a nap after reading this. @NSYoder26 I hadn't heard that, guess I'm holding out for week 20 with @Budders12.

*ignores piles of laundry and to do list and lays down to nap while DS is still napping*

This...OMG this!!! I got the photos cleaned off of my phone last night for the first time in months. Months, I tell you! I was only up until 9:45 but man, I felt great!

Until she was awake at 4:15 a.m. and today was my turn for the wake up call...

ohiodoxiemama08 · January 2015

I'll tell you when it happens! I am exhausted all the time still. I think it has more to do with being a mama to an almost 2 year old though!

Kathjnr22 · January 2015

When "having" to go for a shower doesn't sound like the most ridiculous idea ever because the thoughts of lifting my arms to my head to wash my hair is just unbearable... the hair drying however is still a step too far but hey at least its a non greasey mess now! :-)

mamayo26 · January 2015

@ohiodoxiemama08--so not staying up to watch teh National Championship then? I stayed up for the Alabama game---glad my boss didn't expect me in until 10 the next day.

MrsCaliRN · January 2015

When I can stay up past 9pm two nights in a row! Go me!

I'm not sure yet. I start back to my grad school internship next week so I should be going to bed earlier. But it's the National Championship and my buckeyes! I did stay up for the Alabama game. Once the adrenaline starts flowing during those games I do get excess energy!

I don't so much have issues staying up, I'm just always tired it seems, no matter how many hours of sleep I get. I also have my first night of grad class next Monday which unfortunately is from 7-10

praying she lets us out early!

b4ebeth · January 2015

You paint both bathrooms in one day! And I stayed up til 10pm!

gingerbabe · January 2015

So keep in mind I have an 11 month old who still wakes up 1-2x a night, so I've been exhausted for 11 months, but it got much worse with pregnancy. Today I realized how much I've been getting done in the past week or so and only feeling normal tired. In my first trimester I could not have accomplished all these things without collapsing in the middle of it.

cnoelle92 · January 2015

Energy? What is this energy? Oh the thing I use to have before I got pregnant. Yeah, I'm still waiting for my body to regain that back.

This! Only DH and DS! I still have no energy. Don't know if the twins have anything to do with it or just pregnancy. As others have said, I've had the killer headaches too! Here's to us ladies feeling better and getting the glorious energy back too!
