Well, not quite. I did my first trimester with two under the age of 1, though. I thought it would be smooth sailing after our foster daughter went home to an aunt. But then we were almost immediately surprised with the birth of our daughter's bio brother. I felt exhausted for my whole pregnancy. I think part of it was that it was a new experience and it was a lot to try to figure out how to take care of myself while also taking care of the babies. My only advice would be to try to cut back on activities and accept help. I think I tried to do too much. Even in those early weeks, your body is working so much harder than it normally does.
Congratulations!! What a wonderful surprise!!  
Oh, and maybe you'll find this funny. The first thing I thought when I saw my bio son after his birth was that he looked TOTALLY different than I expected. Like I was subconsciously expecting him to look like my a-kiddos or something! Weird.
