Exhausted!! Falling behind on chores!

I am exhausted, I don’t remember being this tired with my first but maybe that’s why I’m so tired? Currently have a 15 month old and I’m 31 weeks pregnant and exhausted is almost an understatement of what I’m feeling , I go to bed almost instantly after I put my daughter to bed at 8 pm , I don’t have energy to clean the house , I try my best to still clean and make all the meals but it’s hard and the house is slipping , I’m going to bed with dishes in the sink and letting laundry sit in the basket for a couple days before I put it away, just throwing my toddlers toys randomly into the buckets, and not vacuuming everyday, is anyone else just feeling like they aren’t doing enough?? Or falling behind ??

I feel the same way. Well, I just feel lazy. I was motivated to clean the house in the beginning of my pregnancy but now I don't clean the house and I just want to be at work with my husband. You're being a great mom. My friend yesterday told me and I'm telling you this because you should hear it too. It's okay to leave behind chores. It's not like you're going to leave them there forever. Chores will always. Being there for your kid will be there just in a different way. Be there for your kid now worry about the chores later. You've got this mama! ❤️

Is the two and the two fatigue starting. Do you have anybody that can come over and help clean up?

I feel the same way. I’m 27 weeks and all I can do is sleep. The laundry is still sitting in the dryer and I just want to roll over and sleep some more. We got this. One task a day and we can do this

I completely relate! I’m doing bare minimum this pregnancy, just survival mode. Hopefully you have an understanding partner! Hang in there and don’t beat yourself up
