Made sure the room was baby proofed and that she had toys to play with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-486227 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:46:13 +0000 mrbee 486227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: not at all! Olive loves to build and she's 15 months. Maybe your LO will start a bit earlier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-486197 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 13:39:28 +0000 autumnlove 486197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: When did your kids show an interest in Megabloks? Do you think 1 is too young? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-485287 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 08:02:45 +0000 heffalump 485287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This terrifies me! I get very severe migraines, they go crazy when I'm pregnant, so having a toddler around isn't going to be easy. LO doesn't watch tv yet so that isn't going to make things easy. We're trying to wait until she gets a little more independent before TTC for this reason.... but it will be many years until she's so independent that I can just sleep all day and I'm just not willing to wait that long :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-485128 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 02:53:54 +0000 autumnlove 485128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, I put LO down for the night at 7:45 and then I dozed off in my bed and just woke up about 10 minutes ago....a glorious 4 hour nap! I'm still exhausted but I need to get LO's stuff ready for daycare.</p> <p>Thanks for the tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-485061 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:43:12 +0000 Mrs. Train 485061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let things go. When I was pregnant with my daughter I had three boys running around non stop. They even stopped napping while I was pregnant. In the evenings I just went to bed. I didn't worry about the bathrooms or kitchen or anything else. I knew I needed rest. They also watched some tv shows when I just needed to relax a bit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-485058 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:37:30 +0000 HLK208 485058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. Coloring, play-dough, blocks...uhh I definitely turned on classic Disney movies because they were long enough so I could cuddle with DS and take a little nap + my excuse was that he needed to know who these characters are before we visit Disneyland :) </p> <p>And sometimes I resorted to crazy kid shows on Netflix in my bedroom so I could sleep in while DS laid next to me. I felt bad about it but I was SO exhausted and rarely had any help during my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-485020 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 00:02:01 +0000 Andrea 485020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreekWife: lol. Good answer!</p> <p>Yes, I time DD's TV watching to when I needed to take a quick 20 min nap. She doesn't play with toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-484498 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:08:18 +0000 mrbee 484498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is she into jigsaw puzzles and/or building megabloks? Those have been huge for chewing up toddler time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-484481 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:56:47 +0000 GreekWife 484481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yo Gabba Gabba? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-pregnancy-survival-tips-for-moms-with-toddlers#post-484401 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:23:24 +0000 autumnlove 484401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 23 weeks and my LO is wearing me out!
