I'm still waiting for my normal 2nd trimester burst of energy to kick in. I'm nearly 24 weeks, I don't think it's coming. How am I going to remodel the house if it doesn't come?

Has anyone found this with more children? Or is it age that makes for a more tired pregnancy?

I can't tell you whether it's age or more children, but I noticed it was not there for the last two...maybe it's
God's way of telling you that it's pointless to remodel the house at this stage of the game

I had the same experience as Elizabeth.... I was 36 and 40 with dss #6 and 7 and I just moved slower and slower as the pregnancies progressed.

I still haven't got back up to speed. I think I'll remodel the house when #7 is old enough to help!!

i guess there is something to be said for a house that needs painting and old carpet. If I had a new house I would be stressed over it. As it is,I work hard to keep it clean but don't get upset over fingerprints, muddy tracks and 'artwork' on the walls.

I have to agree that with #6 on, I didn't get much of the 2nd trimester energy. I think that it was less of the age thing and more that there were more and more people to care for. Though I'm sure that age was a factor too.
