already feeling overwhelmed?

in Two Under 2

#2 is due in about two weeks and today is probably one of the first times I've really felt overwhelmed at the idea of 2 under 2.

 DS just had his 1 year well visit and I feel like I don't have him on enough of a routine/schedule - he doesn't like table food, just starting to transition to cow's milk, he's been sick so sleep schedule is all funky right now.  But I feel trying to start a schedule right now is a bit crazy since the baby will be here anytime.

 How long should I expect to not have a schedule with the baby? Is this normal pre 2u2 anxiety?  Any other advice/encouragement? Thanks ladies :)

    All I want to tell you is GOOD LUCK!  Just remember to breathe and if you need to step away for a minute, that's okay, lol.

    I've never had my oldest on a schedule and we've survived and thrived with 2u2. So far, it's actually been pretty manageable overall. Some weeks are tough, like when you have a teething toddler and a newborn that eats nonstop, but overall the experience hasnt been as hard as I anticipated. Some days, dare I say, I find it pretty easy. I do realize the sh!t is going to hit the fan when I have 2 toddlers, so I'm trying to enjoy this easy patch for now.  :)

    I wouldnt worry about the milk issue, but try to get him eating table foods (as much as you can over the next few weeks). I have to say, I think 2u2 would have been about 54783957348958394 harder if my DS didnt self feed and I had to do bottles with him multiple times a day as well.

    I'm right behind you! I am starting to feel the stress creep it's way into my day, but I know it will only get worse as my c sec date nears. I am just focusing on DD for now and thinking of ways to work with her and her schedule to make life easier. Good luck!

    agree.  It seems overwhelming at first, but you figure it out and it gets easier.  good luck!
