STMs who had a CS this time around

So, I'm starting to really flip out a bit.

I've had both my MIL and my sister here since DS2 was born on August 18 via RCS. They are both leaving Saturday, and I have no clue wtf I'm going to do with myself and DS1 (20 months).

My H gets up and is gone for work before we all get up in the mornings, so I'm on my own for that. Since it is summer and we are still loving these long work days, he sometimes isn't home before DS1 needs to go to bed.

I just feel like come Saturday I'm going to be essentially totally on my own. Tips for survival? I'm about to totally have an anxiety attack.

    Right there with you!! The best advice i have recieved is when everyone is upset, tend to your toddler first, they are the one who will remember not your new baby, and they are the one who will be most effected...
    Just take it one day at a time, and do the best you can!
    Good luck!

    Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
    All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

    Baby Dust To All!!!

    You will be fine. It is going to be tough, you will want to rip your hair out, but you will be fine. 

    My kids are 19 months apart . H is gone from 4 am to 4 pm most days. 

    Pick your battles wisely with your toddler. 

    Make sure you get a break and time for yourself, even if it is just leaving SO with the two of them while you stroll around Target.

    Baby wearing is your friend. It will help you inside the house and to venture out as well. 

    Friends and Family will offer help, take them up on it.

    Give it time and you will feel like pro-mom.

    No advice but I'll be there Monday too. DH has been working from home to help me lift DD so Monday should be interesting when he goes back to work. I'm just going to try my best and if DD watches more tv than normal so be it and I will likely wear DS a bunch.

    In the same boat! 18 month old DS, two week old new baby, c/s on the 20th and I'm still in pain! A lot of pain. My husband works overnights so he sleeps half the day too. Is HARD.

    I did enjoy wearing my baby for a bit the other day, but then my incision started hurting ridiculously bad so I haven't done it again yet.
