Its Amazing...

What you can do because you have to for your babies.  I think back to my first few months with DD1.  I wanted to sleep all the time.  I thought life was so hard (and it was due to colic) and now I look at my life with 2u2 and think-- "that was a cake walk!"

My MIL took DD1 last night and now I just have my DS who is sleeping peacefully at the moment.  I have gotten so much done this morning its not even funny.  There is no way I would have done this with DD.  

I guess you just make it work!

    I completely agree the ftm on my birth month board make me laugh when they are saying how hard it is to do anything with one lo.  Now with a 8 year old and 2u2 I'm getting more done than I did with one.

     I know right!  I am having a really hard time not being too judgy.  It is hard to remember how I felt as a FTM but trying is the only thing that makes me hold my tongue.  

    Its nice to know other moms feel this way too!

    My sister complains about going grocery shopping with her ONE kid who is 4 years old. This kid is perfectly behaved and never asks for anything. I can't help roll my eyes and think "if only you walked a mile in my shoes" 

    or friends who can't cook dinner, take a shower when LO is awake, or do something simple like dust with one child. I do all of this and more with two very active toddlers. You just adapt.....and get things done!

    I actually think it was harder for me when I just had DS1. He was a very difficult baby. But he grew out of it and DS2 is an easy baby so overall it is easier. Though if I ONLY had DS2. Yea my life would be so easy. He takes naps, he is only cranky when he is tired, hungry or teething. I still don't know what DS1 was always screaming about. He was just an angry baby. No colic. No reflux. Just pissy. Now he is a wild toddler but at least he is happy at least half the time. He is actually fairly good. So I am scared that DS2 is holding in all the crazy until he is a toddler.

    I totally agree.  Granted my ds is only 2 weeks old but, I find myself getting off my butt and actually getting things done.  I still have to watch because I am limited bc of having a RCS but, I find myself doing a lot more this time around.  I will be truthful, I have not attempted to take the 2 kiddos out alone yet but, I really am not worried.  My DD was VERY high needs and just plain unhappy as an infant.  She too has grown out of this phase (thank goodness) and is an amazing toddler and my DS is laid back and all around happy.  I thank my lucky stars that he is so happy and easy going!!!
