Who here became a second-time mom?

And how are you finding it? I know many of us were worried about the transition from one baby to two. Has it been better or worse than you thought? What are doing to make things easier on your older child?

I was very worried about how my son would react to having a new baby in the house. I was also even more worried that something would change between the two of us. I have been very pleasantly surprised that the transition has gone great. Our son absolutely loves his new sister and wants to kiss her all day. I am finding that for the most part, it hasn't been too difficult to squeeze in special time for my son & me, something that is a big priority for me. Finally, I can't believe it, but he has actually been better behaved since the baby arrived than before! So surprised, and delighted. I'm know we may have bumps ahead, but I'm sure enjoying the (for the most part) easy transition for now.

    The transition has been pretty easy for us as well. DS is only slightly interested in DD; he checks on her but pretty much leaves her alone. DH and I are tired but I don't think it's as bad as it was when DS was a baby.

    Definately easier this time. DS loves his little sister but doesn't really like me right now. He hates my breast feeding her. But this didn't set in until this past week... 6 weeks into it. For the frist 5 weeks he was as good as gold with everything. But o well. Terrible 2s have the fun ups and downs.

    It was so much harder for me to adjust when having DS#1 than this time around. Going from no kids to one is much harder than going from one to two!

    With DS#1, we didnt know what we were doing at first. This time around, we already went through pretty much everything before so it's much easier. DS#1 likes to help too, so he gets DS#2 toys and shows them to him, gets me diapers, etc.
