Two Weeks In...

I'm two weeks into my 2u2 journey and sinking fast.  Seems that #2 has her days and nights mixed up and sleep is elusive these days, making me cranky, tired, and will little energy for #1 during the day.  Other than that, #1 is taking the change like a champ and LOVES her little sister to pieces. I'm trying to remain hopeful that I'll sleep sometime soon...please tell me so... : )

You will sleep soon!

I know that this could get me flamed, but now with more than one little one, you need to have an agreement with nighttime feedings with DH. If you are Bfing, DH can still burp, change, and put baby back to sleep, or bring baby to you. If you are FFing, then it can be a trade. 

Just because he leaves for work, does not mean that you get to stay home and catch up on sleep. You both work, and have to be on top of your game. He is bringing money, and you are keeping his children safe. (both stressful and rewarding jobs!)

My DH does all feedings before 2, and I do the ones after. That way we both get a bit of restorative sleep, and we are more productive adults!
