Bella, I haven't really enjoyed this pg and I've had nowhere near the amount of complaints that you and other Mummas generally have. I just felt it more, closer to the last pg and even busier with a toddler and a primary school child. Lots more running around, no time to think or take a breath. I def felt the challenges were a bit more exaggerated this time, although I find my second tri to be more difficult physically. The days I would love to just have an hour to lie down and take a nap...! And the night time interruptions with DD2, esp at the start, really got me down. Not to mention, DP's studies this time around, leaving me on my own with both kids for some weekends and evenings. I wondered if it was because I'm older, but I honestly think it's just because I'm busier. I really do believe that women's bodies get stronger as they get towards 40, hence the great marathon runners at that age, so I'm not going to jump to the conclusion that I'm getting to old for this just yet. Plus, if we do have another in a few years...

Starting to feel a bit more worn out at the end of the day now, despite getting plenty of sleep. Pretty sure it's just me slowing down as I drag around an extra 25% on my poor body!
