It's only been three nights since baby has been home, I need a shower, where did the last two days go? I've missed them…

Once you find a routine and baby isn't 100% on you all the time it will get easier and you won't remember what it was like before you had two lol the first couple of months are a huge learning curve 😂 I'm currently wondering how I will manage a 3 yr old, almost 2 yr old and new born but I know before long it'll be easy again and I'll be ready for #4! I remember when I had 1 I couldn't imagine trying to go to the store by myself with 2. 😂 Now I do it for fun to get out of the house 😂😂😂

I agree it's hard at first but it definitely gets easier! ❤️

I've never had help except when dh comes home after work. You'll find a routine. It gets easier. ❤ How's she doing at home?

@jessig2006 Oh goodness! Thank you! Lol I needed to hear that. Im terrible at finding balance. My toddler is extremely active and hyper, my mamaw said out of all of her 6 kids she never seen one as hyper as mine haha oh and she refuses to listen. If I tell her to get away from the baby because I just got her to sleep (baby has been in the hospital since birth so she's sensitive to stimulation right now), she just won't listen, she HAS to touch her, and she is very much acting out and jealous. I was not at all prepared for this. I feel like my toddler is being more time consuming than my newborn! I mean I absolutely had a plan to make sure she felt included and still special. But man I'm not sure how to handle this right now. Sorry I vented I didn't realize it till now lol

Never apologize for venting to other mama's girl! It's hard! And everyone is learning together which can add alot of stress when you had an idea of how it would go and it ends up going totally different. Sometimes all I can do is get through a meal at a time 😉 but give yourself credit! Adding a new baby is life changing and it won't happen over night. Just try to enjoy the good times and hold onto them during the rough times 💗💗 they will be best friends before you know it!

That is how it was for me... when i brought my daughter home last month I couldnt find time for myself... not to mention i have a 1 & 2yr old.

@beachcutie0808 @jessig2006 @caiticat. @leahkay She's doing REALLY well at home. She's being the perfect angel. I think she just needed mama 🤗 only thing left over is a pretty intense diaper rash that is very painful but the pedi at children's mixed her up a special paste that is really helping along with a barrier spray, the spray helps me from having to wipe, I can easily dab it clean that way. Other than that she is amazing. They sure did spoil her by holding her though, it's ok she needed it. And bedtime seems to be the hardest part for me. Two year old won't fall asleep without me and it can take a good two hours from start to finish. If the baby is asleep its okay, but my toddler has to cuddle and baby is a huge distraction, shes sooo obsessed with baby sissy lol it's cute but it's making it difficult. Does the newness wear off for them??

@krs1415 newness does not.. lol

@beachcutie0808 oh lordy. I was hoping she would just get bored with her and go about her playing all day like she was....

Y'all, I am toddler free either today through Sunday afternoon or tomorrow afternoon through Sunday, not sure when yet but their papaw is coming to the rescue and letting us have a night or two. I am ecstatic lol...till she leaves then I'll cry most likely
