BTDT - Cold feet?
| Tue, 06-14-2011 - 2:13am |
As I (hopefully) get closer to gaining permanent employment, teaching or otherwise, DH keeps reminding me that as soon as I get a new job, we can TTC #2. I think we'll have to wait a year for FMLA but whatever, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
As a result, lately I've been pondering what life will be like with 2 (or more) LOs and as much as I love being a mother and definitely want more kids, sometimes the idea of balancing it all kind of scares me! Like, how will I get myself and 2-3 kids ready and out of the house everyday? Will I still have time to feed myself (lol)? Can I kiss my barely

I'm sure it will be easier for you too!!
I am glad to see this post not for me but for my DH. He has mentioned lately as David is already going through the terrible 2's even though he is only 18 months and how would we handle two. I think he is starting to wonder if he wants two again when I thought we had already crossed the bridge that he was for sure wanting two. I am hoping by the time next summer comes he will want to TTC and David won't be so crazy.

Ditto what Anna said
you've been there and got the Tshirt
It's a lot easier than I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong it's still hard work ;) But I guess because there's already a routine in place for Teddy, Bo just sort of falls in with that.
I expected the absolute horror of the first 4-6 weeks I had with Teddy - this overwhelming change, feeling drained and exhausted and like it was all too much. But I think you get that only once! Your first child changes your life so much and that is a shock to the system, because no one and nothing can prepare you for that. With no 2 you've been there and got the Tshirt, it's just not that much of a big deal. Of course I'm still tired and everything but I don't feel like I can't manage. Once I've recovered from the nasty c section, I'll probably just carry on like before - playgroups, walks, meeting friends etc.
I had cold feet too while TTC and even more so when pg. But seeing how Teddy adores his brother really melts my heart! I can't wait for them to be older and seeing them play together like Erica described :)
