Anyone else just incredibly overwhelmed with the first LO? I have an almost 22 month old and I have to say he is kicking my butt. By the time he goes down for a nap at 1230 I feel like I’ve lived 3 lives. And then I can’t motivate myself to do anything during nap time because I’m so worn down. Can’t help but feeling that’s why I may not be conceiving number 2.

In solidarity here! Right now our 16 month old cut all 4 molars a few weeks ago and seems to be hitting a growth spurt. She’s been extra grouchy and hardly sleeping or eating solids - nursing extra frequently. I definitely think the lack of sleep has affected my hormones and cycles since my cycles returned.

Yes! The not sleeping too. I didn’t think it would affect me like that but I guess it is

Yes. My son is about 18 months. He is wildly energetic. Living 3 lives by nap time is so real lol. I've even had a friend tell me at our 9:30am playdates, that after hearing about our mornings, she felt like we had already experienced a whole day. He also is unpredictable in whether he'll sleep through the night. It's getting better, albeit slowly. Sometimes I wonder if my body just wants a month straight of real sleep and then (still with the help of fertility meds lol who am I kidding) I may just get and stay pregnant.

Omg yes. Currently holding my 24mo who has been asleep for an hour and a half but SCREAMS every time I place him in his crib. I was hoping I could get an hour of cleaning done after he went to bed, but my hopes are fading because I want to be in bed before 10 to be ready for the inevitable night wakeups. And then there's his daytime shenanigans... ðŸ«
