So my dd is 16 months and i will have a new little one in may.. i am starting to get really nervous about having two... I find myself sometimes when i go out with my dd i start thinking how i am going to do it with two and i start freaking in my head... Is this normal? i know they are close in age and alot of people keep telilng me good luck and its going to be hard... My hubby keeps telling me that after a week or so i will get into a schedule and a routine and i will learn to handle the two of them it won't be as hard as i am thinking its going to be... He had 3 9 months apart with his first wife sooo he knows alittle aobut it but at the same time with all respect for my hubby he was at work most of the time and left his ex wife with them all day.. she ended up haveing lots of issues with it and went into a depression and i just worry sometimes emm i going to be able to handle it... I mean i am completely different then her i like routine, schedule.... i like keeping busy and getting out i am just nervous... any other mothers of more then one child have any advice that might help me?
My son (#1) was 16 months old when my daughter (#2) was born. I worried the whole pregnancy about it. I worried about everything. But once my daughter was born, things just started falling into place. It will all work itself out and you'll get the hang of it. The key (for me, at least) is to keep a positive attitude even when you feel frustrated. If you have to, get some sticky notes and white positive/happy things on them and stick them in places you frequent.
As far as going out goes, my DS is very well behaved when we go to stores and such. I did get a double stroller to make life a little easier though.
my son is going to be 2 and 1/2 when my baby(babies) are born and he HATES when i hold any other kids. He screams and even tries to hurt them and i'm worried he'll do the same thing when the baby(babies) is born, i'm really worried now cuz we might be expecting twins and he can't stand when i babysit for friends how is he going to handle a new baby let alone two new babies?
We are women and we are strong we can handle anything throw our way! ( I keep telling myself that but i don't think it works very well)
