haha. tnx! I’m finding that I need to nap once a day in order to function. luckily, I’ve managed to do it so far when my toddler and baby nap at the same time. just not sure how much longer that will last 😉

there’s def differences but it’s different for everyone. I guess in my case, since my first was such a challenge the second one seemed to be so easy. enjoy ur time with your first. all of the changes are amazing, esp when u experience it for the first time.

I found the self-care the biggest challenge. once I physically felt better I felt like I could do anything!!! of course some help from others went a long way too. congrats on ur second. I can’t believe my new born is already 3 weeks.

I thought I had it made with my first. I loved every single second of motherhood. Then baby #2 came along and I seriously thought I should be committed. I loved that second little bundle as much, but I was soooo sleep deprived I thought I would never function on a human level again. I guess it’s different for everyone. I’m so happy for you though. Hubby and I are considering number 3…are we crazy?

I feel so much the same way – luckily my hubby is a great help and is really attentive to helping our toddler through the transition. I am making the time to do my self-care and accepting help from whoever offers it! (agree, not something I would have done the first time around)

I hatedd the over the head ones too! So I invested in a couple with buttons on the front! Xoxo

My son is only 4 months old so I am in NO rush for a second one, I was just currious more of the differences a second time mom might have noticed. Congratulations!

I had a c-section with both however, and the hardest part was not being able to pick up my eldest for a long time after we returned home from the hospital. At one point I just gave in and it was a big mistake…I popped a stitch ouch! Anyway, aside from that it’s definitely a challenge setting aside quality time with the eldest when the baby needs you constantly. My hubby really stepped it up during the first few months and eventually you find your rhythm 🙂 But the lack of sleep is brutal LOL, there is NO getting used to that.
