2nd child.

I need some advice. I can put myself in to a full blown panic attack when I think about having another baby. I feel like I have forgotten everything from when I had my 3yr old boy... and I'm having a girl and I feel like I don't know what to expect with a girl. I have a great support system who will help in any way possible but I need some advice on balancing a newborn and toddler!

Re: 2nd child.

  • No advice here as I'm in the same boat.  Just remember when you had your son, you had no idea what to expect with him and it worked out ok! Going in with little to no expectations of how it will be should help.  One day at a time, sometimes even one hour at a time.  Lean on your support system as much as possible too. 

    Good Luck!
