I am 17 weeks pregnant w/ #2… my first is only 18 mos old and he’s got so much energy I can’t keep up with him!  I try to nap when he does but most of the time I end up running around the house trying to catch up w/ laundry or the dishes, etc. How do those experienced mommies do it? 

Here’s the way I see it: 2 choices 1. You need to enlist the help of your husband or 2. you need to forget about household chores and lay down and rest.  I tried to have an even mix of both but I ended up giving myself 10 mins of picking up… and I literally set a timer.. and then I had to lay down.  As long as I wasn’t moving it was ok.

A. keep in mind that you have a precious little one inside you!  Forget about the laundry and lay down and rest!  And tell dh he needs to help you!
