Anyone Preggo or have children, work fulltime & go to school?

I am sure we are all in crazy situations but I just wanted to see if anyone was in the same boat as me and how you are dealing with it..... I am exhausted.
I just took 9 credits grad school last semester, while working fulltime and going through morning sickness. School starts up again next week and I just feel sooo tired!
Its hard balancing everything along with all the doctors appointments and I being a good wife! Half the time I come home and go right to bed.... too tired to even hang out with DH. I'm worried that its going to be even harder once the baby comes!

Me, Me! I work full time and am just about to finish my Master's degree. I took two classes last semester. Fortunately, as of last week, I am officially done. (Assuming no one fails me that is!) So I was in class and working from week 11 to finals in week 29. It is quite a balancing act!

I can't even imagine how hard it would be with a newborn... can you take any of your classes pass/fail?

I did this while Pregnant with my Youngest daughter Mikayla.

I went to school, worked full time and had a horrible pregnancy.

It was very tiring, but it can be done... just think of it as practice for when your little one arrives-it's non stop from then on...


Good Luck with everything

Congrats on finishing! You must be sooo happy!!!
Unfortunately I cannot take any couses P/F... and I also cant take any time off or I will loose my teaching certification.
So I just have to push on through!

I am currently working full time and i took 6 credits in grad school last semester and i am taking another 6 this semester. I was also extremely sick all the time, vomiting sometimes 3 times a day for almost 5 months. Now i am not as sick but i am still sick maybe 1 or 2 times a week. It was not easy. But i look at it this way, If i made it through the first trimester doing all that, i can do much more. I am planning on not taking any classes in the summer and then start up again in the fall. Luckily though i am taking time off from working.. ( hopefully a year or so so that i can be with my baby and finish grad school) Hang in there, it will all be worth it
