I guess it's time to come out of the closet... I am 7 weeks pregnant and I have a 3 year old. I think I might be going out of my mind!

Now, don't get me wrong, I love love love my baby girl, but morning sickenss, exhaustion, and a VERY inquisitve 3 year old can really make a momma feel a little crazy!

I am wondering if any of you more experienced moms have any good advice on getting through this "exciting" time. I know once this first trimester "bliss" passes I will be back on the road to a semi normal life. Until then, fill me in on some good ideas. You know, what helped you get though the day. It's very true that the good Lord makes you forget about all of those trials of pregnancy! I sure did!

Congratulations! Crackers & 7-up helped me through the morning sickness. The exhaustion will pass, until then sleep when you can!

Ahh congratulations! I remember well having a 3 year old and 5yr old and being pregnant once again! Sleep every chance you get and by all means if a trusted friend/family member offers to take your 3 year old for a happy meal don't clean while they're gone but sleep instead!

Good luck and like you said this will be a faded memory all too soon!

Oh my Goodness! Congrats! What a blessing!

It's like riding a bicycle with your second one. LoL You'll get the hang of it again!

Like the other posters said, sleep every chance you can! I would sleep during naptime, and sometimes I would put in his favorite movie, and cuddle on the couch with him while I slept.

Morning sickness would get me when I brushed my teeth! Yuck!
