hi ladies

i am very tired lately as i am now eight months pregnant and find spending the whole day with my energiser bunny one year old really exhausting. lately i have been quite irritable as well, as she is such a live wire, if i try to sit and play games with her she just wants to get up and run off to pull the house to bits which i then have to tidy up! bless her she is as good as gold, just has non stop energy. because she has a cold just now too she is crying out, though not waking, in the night, waking me and leaving me wide awake for the next two hours or so! wish this pregnancy was over so i could give her the attention and stimulation she deserves, but to be honest all i want to do is curl up in the chair and sleep. any ideas of some gentle ways i can amuse her without knackering myself? :)

Hello happybebe
i understand exactly how you feel Sad it is stressfull. I am 37wks this wk and have a 2 yr old who has so much energy i just need to watch him and he tires me out!
Try a bit of reading to her with a drink and buscut, play a bit of music a sing to her. Afternoons i always say shall we snuggle on the sofa? and he jumps on there (only when i know he is tired) and we watch some cbeebies followed by little nap. Dont get me wrong its not like this every day. I would love to tkae him out for a walk to get loads of fresh air but i can just about make it up the stairs because my hips hurt and crunch so much! So instead we have some time in he garden, i sit on the chair and watch talk play with him.
As for the tidying up leve that till later and save as much energy you can for a little run around when dd is in bed then settle down with a nice hot chocolate.
Prob not verygood advice here but i am just about taking each day as it comes, your certinally on your toes with the little pickles!
