2nd plus timers- how are you surviving?

we're getting by with movies! our tv is on almost all day. right now our faves are how to train your dragon and all the toy stories. i feel bad we're not walking to the park every day, or playing with them as much (if at all some days) and laying on the couch unless they need something.

how are you girls doing?

Re: 2nd plus timers- how are you surviving?

  • I've been thinking about you Tiffany. I've not given birth yet but am awaiting my 2nd. I hope you give yourself all of the time, healing and reach out for help when you need it!

  • I am taking it easy with them. Movies, toys, books etc. DH is taking them out and about when he is home which is awesome. After dinner is the worst time of day at our house. It gets crazy around here, hahaha But I figure the first month (or2) is just about getting by. Especially with 3. Trying not to worry about the TV and movies. Good luck to you!
  • It's a circus to get out of the house with 3 so we have been home with lots of shows and movies. It doesn't help that we had a super cold snap so they couldn't even go outside in the backyard. Healing from a 3rd is taking so much longer so I've had to take it easy.

  • SO GLAD to hear others are watching lots of tv and movies.  I have been feeling guilty about the amount of tv DD1 has been watching, but at this point we're just trying to make it through the day.  We have had some good and bad days - DD1 is not adjusting very well - not napping, waking at night, tantrums..... However everyday is getting a little better (knock on wood).
  • Mallrats, I hear you- I'm still sore in certain places that I don't remember being sore with the other two this long after! It does seem like it's harder to recover from a 3rd.

     I'm glad to hear other 2nd +'ers are getting by the same way as me... it's so hard, and I feel pretty guilty about not being the mom they had just 2 weeks ago. :(
