Dh and I are thinking of having a second child. Here is what pops into my head when I think of having another baby: What if the baby has colic like my son did? How will I care for Noah (my son) if the new baby is crying nearly 24/7? With Noah I could barely function because I was soo tired. He was a preemie (3 1/2 lbs) and so the entire first month of his life he was at the hospital. How would I manage if baby #2 is also a preemie. I have no family here to take care of Noah - so how would I even get to the hospital?
Also, how do you even just go for a walk. I guess you need a double stroller? Do you ever get any sleep? How do you make dinner, take care of a crying baby and keep a toddler entertained?
All silly questions, but its kind of freaking me out just thinking about it!
How did you guys handle it?
At the same time I would love to have another toddler. Noah is sooo great right now. Its the tiny baby part I don't really enjoy as much. I am a big fan of kids 1 and older, but babies...I am not as good with. - we can't all be perfect - right ;)
Thanks for listening to my ranting and insecurities!
Good Night!
