Tell me it gets easier...

dianah36

I had my second DD on June 6 and did not expect the leap from one to two children to be so difficult. I feel so out of sorts, I have no routine, I'm exhausted, and my older DD is miserable and acting out as a result of her new sibling. Moms of 2+ - please tell me it gets easier.

Oh hon... your baby is only days old!!!  You're still full of raging hormones and still in that "honeymoon" stage.... Don't give up hope so early in the game!

Big hug.

Exactly this! And here's another big hug for you.

And one more hug. It really does get easier, you just have to give it time. It really depends on how long it takes for your lo to fall into a routine. And don't try and be super mom, just focus on both kids and either stuff will get done or it won't. Don't feel at all guilty about what you aren't doing. You're adjusting to two - that's a transition that has a huge learning curve.

Hang in there, and if you feel like things are getting overwhelming, let us know!!

Congratulations, and I really hope you get your groove back soon!  I'll be there to commiserate with you in a month!

I know what you mean. I had a C-section with #2, and #1 was only 16 months old. It was brutal. They were not good sleepers. It was awful. I kept wondering why no one warned me!!!!!!!!!

It got better when they started sleeping better. For me, it was a long time. But once you get that part down, you will feel so much better.

I am so sorry...it does get easier as you get a routine that works for you. I found the hardest part dividing my love (yes they say your hear gets bigger but at first I think it feels like division).  It is a slow process  - good luck.

Oh and always say yes to help!

Enjoy your last weeks of pregnancy. As weird as it sounds, I miss being pregnant.

Yes, I missed being pregnant too. The day after giving birth I was so sad that he wasn't in my belly anymore! I missed feeling him moving inside me, I blame the hormones for making me feel so blue. I enjoyed my pregnancy, I hope we have another LO so I get to experience that again.... and I hope it's a good pregnancy too!

Congrats by the way, your DDs are precious.

It really does get easier. You'll hit your groove, but it can take some time since, as you already know, newborns are all over the place with sleep and eating. I found it easier with each (roughly) 6 month interval.

I felt like it would NEVER get easier..... it does.  Just allow yourself to go nuts and have good days and bad... it will  be ok.  You will figure it all out and it will be ok.  HUGS!

It gets a lot easier.  Mine play together now and keep each other entertained.  There are the usual moments of pushing each other's buttons but for the most part it is now easier that I'm not the only playmate in town.  Just remember you'll start to get into more of a groove in about 4 weeks.  Not that far off.  You can do it!  In the meantime, some special TV won't hurt her and can give you a break.
