Two Under Two 2014!

[Nikkilewis14]

Welcome! Mine was a bitof a surprisetoo! Lol. Found out 6 months after our first!

 

[babyhopes2010]

i know i dont have 2 under 2s this year but had 2 under twos last yr. has anyone had there baby yet? how you finding it?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Still 3 weeks left here before my c section. They are monitoring me now for pre-e but hopefully eberything is alright! Im ready though...ugh.

I've had my baby already, he's 8 weeks old tomorrow!

I'm finding it fine so far but I think that's cos all he really does is sleep so it's easy enough to fit him in my routine that I already had. Plus he's a great sleeper and is already sleeping in 8 hour stretches at night time. I think once he starts waking more in the day and wanting more interaction from me, I may find it a bit harder but DD is starting nursery 2 days per week as of next week so that will help

Hope you don't get pre-e Nikki!

Hi babyhopes2010, I recognise you from someones journal (can't remeber who's atm). How are things with you? Are things easier/harder than you thought?

Nikki - not long to go!! Hope your BP stays good.

Shelli- glad to know everything is going well and he is sleeping so well. I am hoping this 2nd one will sleep better than my first and settle into a good routine too.

the house move and burglary hasnt helped my stress

what i LOVE is seeing them interact with eachother. it just melts my heart

I hope the new baby sleeps as well as Beau did/does.
Everyone is telling me what a terror the new baby will be coz we got a good sleeper first time around!

Same here... I am sick of peoples negative comments and telling me how spoiled I am because I have a good baby and that I am in for a rude awakening because this baby isn't going to be as good as my first!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I know i hear it all the time too! Even if it will be true, dont remind me!

My DD wasn't a good sleeper til after 2 months.. so I'm pretty much prepared for a horrible beginning

 

[Nikkilewis14]

2 months is good! My dd slept thru at 4.5 and i thought that was good lol

 

[Mrs.B.]

I get told that all the time too, not sure why people thing my first daughter is so good. Haha. She's a fast learner so I guess that's just what people see. Heck, she only slept through for the last month!!

Oh please tel me how you've managed to get your baby to do that!! My 7 weeks old won't do any more than 4 hour stretches. I tell you what this two under 2 thing is not easy!!

However I do feel we've settled into a routine now and I'm out and about with them both confidently on my own almost every day. I haven't lost my independence (I mean ability to care for my kids myself) despite lots of offers of help (I'm lucky!) and that makes me happy. I love my boys!!

 

[shellideaks]

I actually have no idea

It's hit and miss too, he didn't drink much before bed last night so is up now having a bottle whilst I pump.
