just need you guys to tell me that everything works out... i am in the final stretch - c section scheduled for monday. just worried about all the same things i read about on here:
how to balance between the two babies
guilt for spending more time with one / not enough with the other
worried about how i will ever leave the house with a crazy new runner and an infant
and really just want to make sure both are getting everything they need from me. H is very hands on and i will have help for the first few weeks...
just getting scary and real since he is coming one way or another by Monday!
Re: a little bit of freaking out.
Remember how nervous you were before having #1? (I was, anyway!) You'll figure it out with two just like you did with one. The first month for me was all about figuring out logistics- where to put #2 while I bathed #1, how to get out of the house in under an hour, what times of day worked best for both kids for walks and the park, etc. But it gets easier every day as I got more confident, and I can truly say I love having 2u2! It's hard, for SURE much harder than just 1, but it's totally worth it.
Good luck!
