Can anyone give me some advice?

It's been forever, but I've been so tired with this pregnancy. Today (and yesterday) we finally got some of the housework done. Now I've just got to finish and after that, I've got to try and keep it looking good. The baby's room needs to be finished, too. I just wish I had the energy I need. Any other moms out there that have experienced how difficult it is to have two toddlers (I know Isaac is four, but with his developmental delays, he's like a twin to 20-month-old Emma), and another baby on the way? Maybe it's been made worse by my age...I know that 42 is not too old to have a baby, but I am always exhausted!

I'm also looking ahead to this new school year. Isaac has what could be his last year of preschool. I'm not looking forward to kindergarten screening. I don't know if he'll be ready or not. Maybe with our appointment at the neurologist next month we'll get some more answers. If Isaac is autistic, maybe he could spend a year or two at Woodlane School (MRDD) in their autism program. Or maybe that's just the best place for him. I do love having him included with typical kids, but I'm not sure that, at this point, he can make it. How about some more advice...any parents of developmentally delayed children who have successfully completed potty training? We're working on a consistency basis, but no luck yet, and it's been all summer.

Come on, I need some comments!!!
