My husband and I were discussing trying for baby #2 this summer. Now, my hopes is that since I’m now familiar with how life is with a baby (birth, recovery, lack of sleep, anxiety and fear of doing things wrong, breastfeeding pain, mild baby blues, etc.), that perhaps things wont be as shocking or as hard or scary and I might just actually enjoy my 2nd newborn! Am I being too hopeful ? I’m sure the fatigue or hormonal effects will still be there but I’m thinking I won’t be as anxious etc. No clue. What’s it like with a second?

Baby number one was extremely difficult for us. It was a huge adjustment. Baby number two has been much easier for us because we already knew what to expect. I didn’t enjoy baby number one because I was too overwhelmed but I’ve really enjoyed baby number two. 😊
Aww this is so good to know. A few of my friends have said the same. I feel so guilty with the thought of enjoying newborn #2 but almost regretting #1 during that moment. He’s my whole world now though.
@carusod91, I hear ya! Don’t feel bad. It seems to be very common. How you felt in the past is entirely out of your control. 😊
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Things I never thought I'd say...
Until I became a mom:
My thoughts exactly!! I was so anxious about giving birth with the first one, I didn't even know I was having contractions when I had them... I feel like I'll be able to enjoy my next pregnancy, birth, and newborn phase much more. 🤞
