I did a lot of lying around/napping while DD played too. It was rough!! Once my crazy fatigue went away I scheduled some play dates, took her to the market, park, out for walks..
Make sure to nap when she naps. Housework can wait!

Sorry your MS is in full force!

I totally agree that learning independent play is an awesome skill for A! I encourage my LO to go off and play on his own and that usually just results in him bringing me a toy from the other room or grabbing my hand and leading me to his playroom.

Don't feel bad at all...being crazy energetic and constantly on-the-go =/= the best parenting.

@Bao: I'm right there with you. I struggled the past 24 hours to do it all by myself and felt so bad when I couldn't... Not to mention I had zero patience for the whining.

@T.H.O.U.: I really wish that worked on DD... All she does is try to eat them. LOL

@Bao: also,

Stickers!

If you are out grab some and let them go to town. Chick-fil-a has been giving away sticker books and she loves them.

@Bao: things got better towards the end of 1st trimester, but I was exhausted until the day I had J. :T

You are in survival mode right now, nothing you do is wrong. DD and DS watched a lot of TV and just hung out during my first trimester. That's just the way it had to be. I'm now 17 weeks 4 days, and the exhaustion is starting to go away and the MS is gone (phew!), so I'm feeling more like myself. I started to feel better around `14 or 15 weeks for MS and only recently started to feel less exhausted.
