I cant offer much in the way of advice, As i have a Mr 3 who sounds as though he could be your sons twin!! It is so so exhausting, and im not pregnant, so huge hugs for you.
We have an open dining/lounge/kitchen area, so no keeping him out of there! But i have had something rigged up so he cant get in to the kitchen, although his latest is to push a chair up to the side of it, climb up and jump over Whenever i leave the room all my chairs go up on the tables so he cant get them and at night, everything climbable goes up or out! I have a safety latch on my fridge and freezer and small slide bolt on my pantry, spare/junk room, my room, bathroom and laundry, i have safety gates to keep him away from the front and back door as he will let him self out, and a safety gate blocking the hall leading to my study as this door has a cat flap so the cats can get to the cat run and he will go through it and throw things out it!! Sort of sounds like fort nox but i was at a loss, and you know what?? It still hasn't stopped him!! And Mr 2 is starting too!!
Good luck, i know how frustrating it can be, hope he settles down soon, mine too! Oh and im sleeping in my loungeroom at the moment too so i can hear him as soon as he gets up!
Just wanted to say that I feel your pain. You son sounds a lot like my (just turned) 3yo. We have locks on all our cupboards and the fridge since he gets into these and also gets chairs over so that he can get into more mischief.
Is there a slight ledge at the top of the shower screen that you can put the shampoos etc on? I know that this is probably just one of the million things he gets into, so I will just tell you ... I do empathise.
Here is a story for you abou my boy that I hope will give you a chuckle. My sons favourite thing to do at the moment is poo outside - usually in their play area, one day he decided to piff the poo over the neighbours fence- it landed on some timber they were building with so it wasn't like they wouldn't notice - and it definately didn't look like a dog poo. So I had to march him over to explain to them how my son had thrown his own poo over their fence and apologise and offer to clean it up. I can laugh about it now.
Hugs to you, and I hope he settles down soon for you
