I literally don't know if I've ever been this exhausted. I cancelled my plans this morning and slept until 12. I've been up for just over two hours and I just cancelled my afternoon plans to go back to bed. I don't know how you ladies with kids are surviving right now.
TV....Hope you feel better soon. I'm getting my energy back now at 11 weeks

Survival, yo. You do what you have to because you have no choice.
And you let DH step up to the plate more.
I also think it's worth noting that I'm only baking one over here.
catlady22 my loca news just reported that all Saturday flights are shut down out of Reagan. This will create a massive backlog of stranded passengers to be dealt with Sunday at the earliest. I think you are staying put

My kids spend their days watching cartoons and eating goldfish in the living room.

So H just texted. On work days he gets home before me. Apparently DD2 has a fever and is vomitting. A blizzard hits tomorrow afternoon. This is my first time in 4 years of parenting to deal with a stomach bug. I am not prepared.

Help!
Line a bowl with a bag for easy puke clean ups. It's easier than scrubbing it out of the floor or washing bedding.

This. I do this with MH when he gets the stomach bug. I use a five gallon Home Depot bucket and put a trash bag in it.
I have not been able to keep up here lately! DS has a stomach bug. He woke up last night coughing and cried a little bit but went back to sleep. This morning we discovered vomit all over the crib. We felt so terrible he slept in that. So today started with a bath and has been a juggling act between DH and I trying to WFH and take care of the little guy. Of course he thinks pedialyte is gross:confused:

You will be fine! Give him a puke bucket and keep him snuggled on and under a blanket to protect the furniture
Warm thoughts to those in the northeast! My family is up there in MD and I'm getting all the updates. Last time I saw that much snow I was living in baltimore for the big storms of 2010. Granted, I was in college so tunneling out for beer was actually fun. Snow is better sans adult responsibilities.
Funny related story: the day we brought DS2 home from the hospital, suddenly the entire family except DH and the baby came down with a horrible norovirus. I had a 103 temp, Ds1 was puking up a storm, my mum and sister were visiting and were tandem puking. DH was running around changing snd washing bedding and DS2, ever the laid back second baby, just slept in his swing and ignored everything

Tell me about it! Last big snow I was in we pulled the sled up the street to Trader Joe's, which was somehow still open, bought beer, and pulled the beer back to our apartment in the sled.

There is a pic in one of the Old Town Starbucks of people canoeing to Starbucks during Hurricane Andrew. #coffeefix

We used to go out to eat every time a hurricane or TS came through. There was one restaurant that was always open and if we hung out there long enough, our power would be back on by the time we got back! Lol.
Hope all you ladies getting hit by the storm stay safe and warm!

I'm sorry that this post is going to be long and whiny. I'm just struggling today. First tri is a lot harder than I expected it to be. I feel guilty because I wanted this so badly I should just suck it up and appreciate what I have. I feel bad about myself that other people seem to be able to keep up with their commitments and responsibilities whereas I basically quit school because I couldn't deal with having daily commitments during pregnancy. Suddenly I'm terrified that I'll be an awful mom if I can't be an adult and take care of things even when I don't feel perfect. My house is dirty and I keep relying on H to make dinner every night even though he's way busier than me. I know I feel better in general when I'm active and productive but I can't seem to make that happen. I'm not eating well and I feel like I'm going to get GD or give my babies growth problems by not nourishing them appropriately.
There, I needed to get that out. I'm sorry for being an AW.

It is perfectly normal to feel that way. Don't feel bad complaining. Pregnancy is hard, especially first tri. It will get better. You'll get into a rhythm. There are ups and downs to everything. And it's okay that you don't feel like eating. Take a prenatal vitamin and they'll be fine.
Does anyone else get dizzy and nauseated after eating?? It happens without fail that I'll eat and need to lie down immediately. I'm frustrated bc I can't even eat with DH and have an adult conversation. It passes after about 20 minutes. All I have ever read is it s the blood Rushing to your stomach but idk that sounds kinda sketchy to me.

bocaburger, huge hugs. First trimester is rough. You are allowed to feel rough. That doesn't mean you don't appreciate being pregnant at all. All of the appreciation in the world isn't going to magically give you crazy bursts of energy or stop the nausea.
If I could quit all of my responsibilities and not be an adult right now, I totally would! And I'm happy for those who can! The dishes and floors can wait, take care of yourself!
