I need a little support and advice on coping with my nearly 2 year old and the third trimester. I'm 30 weeks and my son is turning two in mid-July. Each day is touch and go. Some days are great, others are just horrible. I have lots of close friends nearby and try to see them a lot, but I'm so tired! It's hard for me to walk more than a few blocks without getting crazy contractions and my DS doesn't want to sit in a stroller -he wants to run everywhere. I'm working on getting a bike so that we can get out that way. Going to the local parks which are a favorite activity of ours, is way too exhausting for me now.
So, daily life is us playing inside, watching too much TV(gasp!), and playing outside in our back yard that has a mini playground. I still try to see one of our friends in the morning, but that doesn't always work out. In another month, my MIL will be taking him several days on fun outings -like the zoo, aquarium, etc (things we can't afford to do) so I can rest and get things done before baby comes. I'm very lucky DS plays very well independently.
On the bad days, I feel like a horrible parent because we're stuck inside or I don't want to play. How do others cope?
