Been there and done that Mommas

I'm due 1 year and 2 weeks after my DS was born (and a week before Thanksgiving).  Those of you who've already been living this 2 under 2 adventure, please give me your survival tips and tricks.  I'd love to know what you found worked and also what you found didn't.

Any specific questions? Feeding, sleeping arrangements, jealousy, etc.? Also, will you be a SAHM or will your older child be in daycare?

That's just about the exact spacing of my kids--their bdays are 19 days apart. The best advice is to stay ahead of the game. Keep the rooms you frequent prepped with diaper changing supplies. Get as much as you can prepared for the day before your dh leaves for work in the morning. Keep supplies for your older child next to the chair you feed the newborn in so ou can meet both their needs at once. Don't allow yourself to become trapped in the house--carry on with your life. You will likely have failed outings where you have Double meltdowns but it gets easier with time/practice.
