When does this get better???

I realized that going from one to two kids would be an adjustment for me, but I'm really starting to feel totally overwhelmed now.  I feel like just getting out of bed is a huge project for me.  I'm drowning in laundry and other housework.  I look around here and just want to cry-it's such a zoo.  And forget DH helping-he just makes it worse.

How long after having #2 did it take to start to feel like you were getting into a normal routine again?  I think I just need to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    8 Months...but mine were closer in age.  I think it would be much less time if there was 18months at least between kids.

    I have no clue but hang in there! Your girls are gorgeous and maybe I can kick your DH ass for you?

    Definitely over a year.

    I had a WICKED rough time the first year of Cam's life.

    I think 3 months is probably standard though.

    And tell your DH that if he wants a clean house and a cooked meal, hire a cleaning lady and a chef!

    Just wanted to say I'm right there with you... I could have written this post word for word.

    Some days are better than others and hopefully the good will soon outweigh the bad.
