PW 2: Tell me to stop stressing

I'm feeling a lot of mommy guilt these days.  Just about every day Luke asks to "go somewhere fun".  Most days I feel like it's either too cold, too rainy or I'm just too tired or overwhelmed to make it out the door.  DH or all of us as a family try to do things together on the weekends and he still has MDO twice a week.  But I feel like I'm failing him in some way.  We definitely aren't doing as much as we were pre-Des, even though I'm making sure I make time to play with him when Des is napping. 

I keep telling myself I'm only 3 weeks in and with Luke we were pretty much home all.the.time. at that point.  But I still can't get rid of the nagging voice in my head that says I should be doing more.  So tell me to cut myself some slack or how to start getting out with both kids without feeling like I'm losing it.

    Mommy guilt is such a bigger burden the second time around.  You definitely need to cut yourself some slack.  We are still nowhere near doing what we were pre-DD2, but you know what?  We've all adjusted, including DD1.  I think my problem was (and still is) that I'm a big chicken when it comes to taking tiny ones out, and I'm definitely a big chicken when it comes to taking two littles out!  Right now, it's all about taking it one moment at a time.  You just do the best that you can, and remember, this too shall pass.  Eventually you will get going again.  Big hugs to you!!

    It is hard with 2 little ones. Mabey try and get some new games or art supplies. That way he could do something new and exciting at home to keep him busy. Good luck!

    How 'bout A and I try to make it over for a playdate on Friday?  It depends on whether or not I have something in particular going on that morning. 
    That would be awesome! Plus it will probably take me that long to get the house picked up. Stick out tongue
