Is it normal I’m kind of scared to have my daughter home I love my kids I think it’s just gonna be hard to get up in the…

Oh ok. Ya know what, your nerves are gonna be shot no matter what cuz your gonna be thinking about SIDS & Healthy Lifestyle choices. I mean, NO MOM of a newborn sleeps really cuz we are all thinking the same thing. It will have its challenges cuz the oldest won’t get as much attention like before, and just trying to find that balance between what your children’s needs & wants are. Making sure they both know they are loved the same. Lol. It’s funny cuz I put so much effort into my boys & making sure they KNOW I love them but they’re each still treated differently cuz they all have different personalities. And they look for reasons to get jealous of one another. I just personally always feel bad for all the oldest of the children. Cuz you learn how to raise the second and so on from the mistakes and accidents you made raising them. For instance; I used to spank my oldest, not bad but enough to hurt his feelings but I didn’t with the other 3. Or I have a lot of quality conversation with my oldest, sometime in the mistake of being his friend. But I don’t with the other 3...

@bwulff88, I’m not actually breastfeeding I’m pumping and she takes it from a bottle so that shouldn’t be a huge worry with me I’m hoping to get her in formula at some point I just pumped because she was a preemie and doc said it’s so much healthier

Oh goodness... breastfeeding? Girl that’s gonna take a toll. I know cuz I’m still breastfeeding my 2 year old. Every SINGLE one of my boys were exceptionally clingy and looked at booby as comfort instead of food. Need booby to sleep, need booby to stop crying, need booby cuz I got a boo boo, need booby cuz I’m mad... etc. but regardless, breast is best & it was so worth it having that bond with them...

@bwulff88, thank you and yes Everyone makes mistakes but it’s gonna be so difficult and different then having just my son lol

I know what you mean by staying healthy physically, & mentally while juggling a child, a baby, an SO and a home. But I’ll say I lost the battle mentally cuz I have a severe anxiety disorder. Having babies lit that fire.

Just remember, there is no such thing as perfection. You ARE going to make mistakes but those mistakes teach you the life lessons that make you unique. Unique as a mother & individual.

@bwulff88, I’m thinking that’s gonna be the hardest for me yes my son sleeps I get very very bad migranes I have a doc appointment for them In June cuz that was the first opening they had but Ik the feeling of exhaustion and it’s just horrible but it is gonna be so much worse I have migranes constantly and no medicine I can take while breastfeeding is working so I’m not sure how to handle the night situation

Oh, so you got the anxiety of going crazy planning your night night time? & finding your strength for the day to carry on

@bwulff88, omg my son was absolutely horrible when he was born now he did sleep at night but woke up once to eat. But he did have super super bad colick and it was so stressful my daughter is calm unless she is hungry but I guess I’m just nervous because he is older now and sleeps from 9-8 usually and ik she’s gonna be up lol

Oh yes! But ya know I do have to admit that the second born does complicate a lot. After you figure out a routine & balance then you can have 5 and not go wrong. Actually it was so easy with my baby, Gabe cuz I already knew what to expect. It’s a challenge but also comes natural. Like, remember having your first & experienceing what real exhaustion feels like? That don’t happen with the second except when you first come home cuz it’s a new lifestyle. But I promise, it gets easier

@bwulff88, so it will kind of just come back natural ?

Naw, it’s honestly like the progressive commercial “ First time Mom & second time moms. Lol
