    What are y’all doing with your toddlers? I feel so guilty, I come home from work just exhausted and put bluey on and give him snacks so I can lay and rest but I should be playing, or at least more present. 
    What do you do when you have no energy? I wish he would just lay and snuggle with me! But he’s SO BUSY.

    @sph97 DH is taking over everything.  I feel so useless.  However my little guy will sit and veg but then I feel guilty that I'm not able to do more than that with him. Maybe coloring/stickers/painting?

    So far my 16mo is having fun driving cars over my body as I lay on the floor, climbing over me like a jungle gym and brushing my hair with his little brush. I usually talk to him and sing with him as he's playing alongside me. It's not really active, but he seems to be happy with our level of play. DW takes over when he wants to run around the house or be pushed on his trike.

    This hasn’t been as much of an issue for me this pregnancy as I’ve mostly only felt sick in the evenings, but with my last pregnancy all I wanted to do was lie down and rest during the first trimester. Honestly, my kids had a lot more screen time and a lot less interaction than normal, and I definitely wasn’t as present as I wanted to be, but I knew it was only temporary and that I was doing the best I could. I do agree that quiet activities like coloring, stickers, painting, reading, or playing with toys while you rest (and engage mostly verbally rather than physically) is a good idea. And accept help
    from others if/when it’s available. But above all, give yourself a lot of compassion and remember that this is temporary, and your toddler will be ok.

    I decided to make my DS's dino cookies for his birthday... I may be regretting it soon. TBD. I learned how to outline/flood cookies years ago but I'm feeling rusty.
