Exhausted more so this time around?

I don't know if its just a totally different pregnancy or having a toddler this time too, but I am soo exhausted. I actually took naps both Sat-Sun. Is this norm for your 2nd? Does having an older child (between 2-3) make it worse? Let me know your take.

Thanks!

It has been sooo much harder the second time around for me. I'm due in 6 weeks and my DS will be 3 in November. With him it was all about me. This go around it's all about him with a few minutes snuck in for me. I just think that's the way it is though.

I'm only 8 weeks, so I know the 1st tri is tiring anyway. But let's just put it this way. I took a 3 hour nap yesterday and went to bed at 8:45.

If it weren't for the kids, I think I would be sleeping all day.

Well my son isn't quite as old as yours- he was 13 months when I got pregnant- but my whole first trimester I was BEYOND exhausted!! I napped every single day. Thank God he is an awesome sleeper. I was able to nap whenever he did. Once the 2nd triemester started, I had a lot more energy.
