So exhausted!

Since I was about 35 weeks, I've been SOOOO exhausted! I worry that I'll be too exhausted to take care of the twins very well when they arrive. I have a little help, but not much here. I have 4 other children, and they make me tired enough, lol!!

I think one of my biggest fears has been my exhaustion and being able to care for and enjoy the twins once they arrive. Anyone else?

 

I'm still exhausted and my twins are 2 1/2. :lol: I am sorry you are feeling that way. Can your DH help out a bit more? Somehow you manage to take care of all the kids, even with being exhausted. Will anyone be coming to help after the twins are born?

 

Ya, dh has been pretty good with helping out. I'm just zapped all the time. I guess that's to be expected, even more so with twins. I'm just hoping I won't loose my mind with the exhaustion...that can be dangerous. (Like forgetfullness, kwim?)

My mother and church are willing to help when they can, but it won't be very often I'm afraid. Ughh! I kow every little bit will help though.

Glad DH is good with helping. Hopefully you can try to squeeze in a few minutes to rest every now and then. You are right, exhaustion can be dangerous.

I wish you were going to have more help. Maybe they will surprise you and come more often. Hopefully your Mom won't be able to resist her two newest grandkids.

 

I agree with you, I hope she can come more often. Everyone I know is just so freakin' busy all the time, lol!

 

Hugs to you, I know all about the tiredness. I became anemic in my fifth month and was sooooooooo tired that I could barely get anything done, it finally improved by last month , my boys are now 17 weeks. What saved my life the first 8 weeks was my husband and I did shift work. He let me sleep from 9-1 every night and that saved my life. I had to learn to relax and go to sleep. I had s hot bath and then went to bed. My boys ate every hour and 1/2 for the first 8 weeks but at 8 weeks they started sleeping through the night. My husband works everyday too but he knew we were in it together. I dont have any help either but each day gets easier!!!!Good Luck to you, Im sure everything will work out
