@jacksonzmom, the first 3 months will be the hardest because everyone has to adjust. And newborns and toddlers are needy at this time so I feel like I'm spread so thin. It's rough for sure but as my little one grows in a few months I'm hoping it will be smoother. I nurse every 2 hours so it's draining right now.
My first was colicky and I nursed him every two hours too. I was basically up all night between the screaming crying and nursing so hopefully the next one sleeps a little, lol
@jacksonzmom, both of my other kids were criers especially my 3 year old son nothing calmed him. Then around 5 months he was so much better. My newborn is a good baby and only cries when she wants food, has gas or diaper change. But she is a delight. The only thing is they both need me around the same time and my son starts getting more demanding. But luckily I have my 15 year old daughter helping me when she gets home from school. That is why I have some sanity left! Lol My husband helps too when he's off. But when I'm on my own sometimes I want to cry.
Oh man, I bet it gets so rough! That's wonderful you have the support! I'm worried about my son feeling jealous or like I'm not giving him enough attention. I'm a sahm and we are constantly on the go to the park or zoo or whatever in the mornings and then after nap time we play. I'm excited for the new baby but worried about my son. I think he will be a great big brother though bc whenever we are with his cousin or my best friend's little one he tries to help.

I'm totally freaking at the idea of having a 2 year old and a new born! 🙈 I know it's going to be rough!
