Two kids is a bigger logistical challenge but you’re more prepared for it. I could’ve written this article myself I felt exactly the same as you after having my second. Sure there will be moments when you’re tearing your hair out and you’ll never have enough hands again but in general I found the second time around to be much easier. Congrats again and enjoy the snuggles!

So much more to think about prepping the second time around…the whole older sibling adds such an entirely separate set of preparations. We actually had a bit of a false alarm a week or so ago, and I was running around stressing like a crazy woman over whether Ben’s lunch for daycare was packed or not ;) Hope you’re feeling well and getting excited! :)

I will certainly be referencing this in the next few months!! Can’t believe you’re so close to welcoming your newest addition! Good luck with everything, fingers crossed that you don’t go late, and can’t wait for pics!!

Plus I get so mad that he walks 20 paces in front of me everywhere and I have to yell ” ummm I can’t walk that fast!”

I feel you all the way on this one. I don’t think I could handle another pregnancy either. I think it’s way harder than having a newborn when you have another kid/kids to care for. Hang in there, this too shall pass and it’ll be worth it.

Luckily it is almost done, and so worth it in the end. Unfortunately men will never get the indescribable fatigue and roller coaster of emotions that you go through while pregnant with BOTH of your child! Just keep your eye on the prize darling, you’re doing great!
