  My mom will babysit my kids on occasion when DH and I have a date night. We haven't gotten the chance to go out yet but we will have her babysit both kids soon. We didn't leave DS1 overnight with her until he was 9 months old because I was breastfeeding until then and he wasn't a good sleeper. My UO- I will let DS2 stay over sooner than that, good sleeper or not, FF or EBF. Mama is going to need a break sooner than 9 months this time.

  Even though H is getting a vasectomy, I kinda want to be on some BC anyway! I've only been on something for 8 years (minus 18 mos of pregnancy in there) and Damn I like knowing when my periods are coming, I love their almost absence on Mirena, etc! My non-BC periods aren't even bad, but I don't remember if they're super predictable, like down to the day like they were on external hormones!

  I thought I would love the newborn phase. I hate hate hate it. I love DD but I cant wait until shes a little less needy.

  This. I always feel terrible for thinking it. It's the sleep deprived side of me saying it though. Or else, I love the unlimited snuggles I get with him :x

  This was me with DS1. I was so tired all the time and worrying about his sleep habits. Plus it's just a huge adjustment. With DS2, it's so much easier and I'm really going to miss the newborn phase.

  I am liking the newborn phase and not ready for my baby to get any bigger. I am ready for the longer stretches of sleep though. I hope I still feel this way once H goes back to work.

  I'm not sure if DS is an easier baby than DD, I'm better able to keep him happy, or (likely) the worst fussiness is yet to come. I don't want to know.

  This is crazy and I didn't think I would feel this way but I totally want a third kid. Seriously, if we started trying again in six months I wouldn't mind at all.

  The newborn phase seems easier to me as sad as that sounds. It is the almost 2 year old that is driving me nuts.

  @rockyrollgirl, I'm right there with you. My almost 2.5 year old is driving me crazy while my newborn is easy in comparison.
  
  @nobadwriting, that sounds so tough. I have enough trouble handling double crying when it's my 2-year-old and my one newborn. You're doing an awesome job just getting through each day.
