Loving the second (and third) time around!

Dragonfly1226 · June 2013

When DS was an infant I was such a stressball. I worried about every little decision. Don't get me wrong - I was so happy to have him and loved my time with him, but I was always worrying. I find that I am so much less stressed out this time around. Even with twin infants and a two and a half year old. It is so much easier to enjoy these LOs when I am not tying myself in knots worrying about every little thing. It is a lot of work, but I am so happy right now.

It is easier the second, third and in my case, the fourth time around. Everyone seems surprised when I say that Maren is just slipped right into the family as if she'd always been there and it really doesn't seem all THAT hard to have one more. But, I think that's because like you said, you are typically much more relaxed after your first.

Good to hear. I always joke about how lax I am with our second! I think I've only used our baby monitor twice sine the day he was born, have fed him pretty much everything we eat since he was about 6 months old (whoops???) and find myself saying, "Eh ... he's fine" about 10 times a day! Fun times!!!

This is a great update. I was wondering how you were all adjusting. I always worried with DS. Looking forward to less worrying with number 2. Thanks for the hope.

I feel the same way you do. When people ask how it is with triplets, I tell them that it feels easier than it did with my first. I then get looked at like I have a 3rd eye. DS1 was the easiest baby ever, but the anxiety of being a first time mom was the worst. This time around, I'm so much more relaxed and nothing really phases me, not even three screaming babies during the witching hour The only thing that makes me sad is that they're already growing too fast and I don't want them too.

This makes me so happy to read, I'm so glad you are enjoying yourself!

I was definitely a lot less stressed the second time around with nursing. Even though it was still a struggle in the beginning, I knew that I could do it.
