hj ladies,
Last Monday I went into labor with my second child. I have a toddler which is now 15 months old. My dear husband took a whole week off for vacations to help me out and stuff. However , we are feeling a little suffocated being at home! Not really stressed , the kids have nothing to do about it, it's just that we are not used to being at home the wholeeee day. My concern is mostly towards my husband , idk why but I just feel bad that he feels like that! Any one has gone through this, sounds stupid but idk what can we do since we have a 1 week old baby girl at home. I would really appreciate any suggestions, ideas or advise.

In our family it is a divide and conquer. I stay inside with the newborn and my husband takes the other two to the playground, to walk to get coffee, etc. this way I can heal and protect the newborn and DS and DD can have fun outside and my husband can get out too.

Having more than 1 is harder but dividing like this has been helpful.

We also divide and conquer. My DH takes older ones out and I stay with the baby to rest and recover and breastfeed. Gradually I am starting to go out with them with the baby and once I introduce a bottle I'll get to go out more with the older kids just me if I want (or ditch ALL the kids and have a solo outing!)

Go out for lunch if you can. It breaks up the day. Maybe picnic somewhere (playground?). It can get you some fresh air!
