Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Pregnant Moms

So I'm having "One of those days" where I wonder how in the heck I am going to do it with two kids. My child has driven me out of me nutso today, and I'm basically sittng here thinking if she drives me this nuts now what is it going to be like when there is another one around. I am so scared. I wanted another baby so bad.........until I got pregnant. Now all I think about is how much work its going to be, lack of sleep, a 2 year old going through the terrible twos, and i just sit here and cry. I feel like a horrible person. I am just so scared!

Anyone else feel like this?

  • I'm not pregnant but I like to think that when I have another and I'm having one of those days where my children are driving me crazy, that at least I can let them play with each other while I chill out for a bit. Right now it's just me and DD and when she's making me nutty, I dream about the day she'll have a brother or sister to amuse her.
  • Thanks ladies!

    Tonight she screamed and made herself shake because she was so mad I  couldn't pick her up anymore tonight because my back is breaking today, that was my breaking point!

    You're so right, almost everyone in the world has 2 kids! We aren't the first to do it, we will survive!

  • Oh yeah!  DS has been particularly whiny the past few weeks and I'm starting to wonder/worry about what it's going to be like.  But like a pp said, as they get older hopefully they can entertain each other.

  • I just had #2 (another boy) 6 weeks ago and mine are 15 months apart. The newborn is easy so far.. sleeps most of the time.. my 15 month old is another story!! He is so active, impatient, and cranky lately so I am constantly trying to keep him busy and happy while I let the baby sleep.  At night, the baby is up every 3 hours and my 15 month old sleeps with daddy if he wakes up!! It is tough, but everyone tells me that once they both get older they will be best friends!! We will see!!
  • ME ME ME ME ME!!!! I'd be jumping up and down raising my hand in agreement if I weren't too exhausted to move more than the fingers it takes to type.

  • I think about this also. When we got pregnant we had twins and I was sooo excited but so scared. However we lost Ella's twin and I thought to myself wow how would I have done it. BUT you can do it.

    Look at Octo mom she is a crazy biatch and she does it!

  • I do feel like this sometimes too.  But try not to judge by your WORST day with your toddler, as hard as that may be!  I'm sure you also have plenty of wonderful, easy days with your DD.  Try to remember, there are good and bad days with one kid, two kids, three kids, whatever.  We will all be fine!  I have to keep reminding myself, too!!
