Re: I found myself...

  • Ha, I still want another kid and I so wish I could have had 2 under 2.  

    But I will say, raising a 21 as opposed to a 7 month old is much, much more demanding (and draining).  Lord, she has an opinion now and she's not afraid to voice her displeasure!  And she is into everything.  And she doesn't nap.  And I don't get a moment to myself.  And I am up at 3:30 because someone decided that she no longer wanted to sleep in her crib.  And I can't just let her cry because she bangs on the walls.  And then crawls out of her crib.  So maybe it's a blessing in disguise that I didn't get KU when I initially planned to?  

    Some days I don't know how I do it with one, let alone two.  Especially right now at 3:30 AM.  Ha!

    Jen, just do it! :) I must admit, there are hard days and not so hard ones. I found going from 0 to 1 kid harder than going from 1-2. The first few months is a huge adjustment but once you find your rhythm, it gets easier. I wore DD2 a lot the first 3 months and that helped me get things done around the house. Now as I watch them interact with each other and DD1 playing the doting big sister, I'm glad we did it this way. I'm probably crazy too since I wanna do 2 under 2 again when we have our 3rd one.

  • You are welcome to come spend an afternoon at my house.  It's difficult, yes, but extremely rewarding.  On rough days there's always wine at the end of the evening, haha.

    Ditto this. Especially the wine part. Smile

    Obviously mine are a little farther apart- just over 3 years, but only because Maisy took a year and a half of trying. Somedays are difficult, but in all, it is awesome. The first few months of adjusting to having 2 is a little rough, but it gets easier everyday. And watching the two of them interact with each other might be the coolest thing ever.

  • Is it sad that I am sorta kinda hoping that my neighbors "DD" decides to put her baby up for adoption? She is a horrible mother, continues to pawn this precious (2mo) baby off on all of her family, won't get a job to pay for diapers or formula..... I was talking to my neighbor and DH, that if they (the grandparents) didn't decide to adopt her, I want to Surprise I am not going through a pregnancy again but I want another baby SO bad!
