Mom of Two?

faolan5109 · Apr 11th, 2012, 11:03 AM

How do you do it? I just found out I am expecting my second and I am never nervous. I love my son so very much but I do not know how I am going to handle two. Yes I have my own home now, and pay all my own bills. And I was going to school as well and my first semester I do a 4.0 in college on top of work and lane but...another baby??
Any advice ladies?

Firstly congrats secondly having two is easier I find. Because now my kids play with each other and amuse them selves while I tidy. At first its a lot to get used to but it gets easier and its great to have two. It can get very exhausting because you don't get to nap when baby naps as your other Lo won't go down but you will figure something out. Jaymee has quiet time when I'm tired good luck hun

Congratulations!! I've also heard two is easier as the older one can help you with baby and keep eachother amused x

I have two

Its very hard work atm i find. Sophia doesnt sleep much at night so im always quite tired but i dunno,you just get on with it. You don't have time to even realise how tired you are iykwim?It is non stop but i love it

The older they get the more they can do things together and it should get easier once Sophia falls into a routine. Aliyah just wants to play with her already and tries passing things to her etc lol

Congrats!!

Um it's a bit of a juggling act to be honest, but once you get going, you just can't remember what it's like to have just one!! They entertain each other now they're older, so it's a little easier in that respect, that they can play together happily while I do a bit of housework. I think it's a learning curve really that you can't expect to get totally right at first. I found bedtimes etc a struggle in the early days, my second still doesn't sleep through the night so i'm still up and down with him, but i've got the routine before bed, down to a t! But my youngest is almost 15 months now haha.

I'm in the same boat as you, I have a 16 month old, and I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my second, but I'm just going to play things by ear, and hope we'll all be ok, I don't think you can plan ahead for stuff like this, no matter how hard you try

Congratulations. I have 2 -- a 17 month old, and a 4 month old. I thought it would be HARD, but it's not. It's pretty easy, and eventually you get a routine down!
