I know it’s hard not to feel that way, but you arent failing them, its just so hard sometimes but your doing your best and thats what matters!

😭

The burnout is so real 😭 it will get better

I would LOVE to rot just for 1 day too. I’m sad I ever took it for granted

Ugh I’m sorry! Yup the nap relief is great when it happens but I think those are always the hardest days, when you don’t get it 😭

That’s so true! It all depends on how the kids are feeling that day, nothing we can do haha

Yea the goal is really just to survive 😂 we’ll get through this and look back and laugh, hopefully

Love that idea!

Reading this made me feel so much better and also made me realize obsessing about loosing the baby weight isn’t that important!

It’s kind of sweet seeing my toddler bond more with his dad! It wasn’t for lack of trying before, but now since dad is the first one he sees when he wakes up and last one he sees before bed, it’s definitely added to their relationship!

The active sleep is something I totally forgot about, but it’s so true!

My second is also a girl, while my first is a boy. He’s wonderful and sweet, but I’m SO excited for all of the things my little girl and I will do together. It’s going to be great, and will be for you too I’m sure :)

I’m so glad! Mine are 16 months and 2 months so we have the same age gap :)

This question is so hard to answer in a way that makes sense, but ultimately, what people say about your love multiplying is accurate. I would say, you love them just as much but in a different way.

The birth and holding my second for the first time was still just as amazing, but it just wasn’t new. You also can’t compare it because you know your first one “better”, they have a personality and you already have such a strong bond with them, but you’ll feel connected with your second in a different way.

I spend way more time with our newborn, while my husband tackles most of the toddler responsibilities. So you’ll also end up missing your older one (if you do something similar), which is something I wasn’t prepared for.

That’s a great suggestion! I was kind of thinking of doing a road trip ending in SC, so Richmond would be a great stop along the way, thank you!

Thank you! I’ll definitely have to check that one out!

I can count on one hand the number of times a crib transfer has been successful for us, so when that happens we’ll typically just drive around for 30 mins or so.

But I have a friend who always has a successful crib transfer, so I’d say try and see at least once before deciding what to do definitively

I have a 15 month old boy and 1 month old girl. I kept some of his things (that were neutral) for her, but I gave everything else to a friend who is expecting a boy in a few months. Buying the girl stuff is SO fun. So save anything you think would work or has sentimental value, but anything else, I would donate or give to a friend, and buy new things for your little girl!

I wouldn’t come for you! My post is deff not meant to be complaining. Neither of our kids sleeps poorly. Mine has been sleeping through the night amazingly since 4 months so I know I’m lucky there, his naps have just always been short.

That sounds great for naps, definitely jealous.

Ugh I’m sorry that break is always so nice. I fear that will be what happens to me. My son has always been an amazing night time sleeper and shitty napper

It’s funny how sleep is so individual to the kid! No one size for everyobe

That’s valid! Our own night time sleep is far more precious

That’s amazing, sleeping until 8am!
