Pregnant sisters, living together...how will this work?

[othersomethings]

My sister is due in Feb, and I'm due in April. She has been living with my husband and I for about 5 months now, and we love having her here and being able to help her out, etc. 

I'm just thinking down the road...some practical advice for WHAT THE HECK we are going to do when we are both hormonal and post-partum and trying to not go off the handle crazy with newborns and everything that comes with that?! 

She's on these boards so she'll probably see this...Hi kelly :)

Yeah. I'm just thinking this has to have happened to someone else here before, at some point...what are some things we can do to make this unusual situation more livable? We're moving into a new house this week, the bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house so there will be some privacy. But it's not a mansion. And crying babies are going to be a thing. And probably crying women too. 

And my husband has been great about it all but I can tell he is getting very apprehensive about what that period of time is going to look like, and he's logging places in his head that he can escape to when he can't take it, lol...And I'm sure DD will be spending plenty of time at grandmas house too. 

Am I borrowing trouble? Or does anyone have thoughts on this?

No advice besides I think it sounds really fun.

My sister and I both lived with our parents while pg with our first babies. She was due in Feb, I was due in May. Other than our very different ideas on how to do things, it wasn't that bad. I actually found it kind of nice to have her baby born a few months before I had my baby, so that I could get some practice. Plus, if you want some fun, take the baby out while you're still big pregnant and laugh at the looks you get ;)

(My sister pretty much abandoned her baby with my parents though, so the situation was different, since my parents raised him and I helped.)

I'm sure there will be challenges, but think of the advantages too!  There will always be someone to watch a baby while mom has a shower or goes to the bathroom by herself, there will always be someone there who can empathize with what you are going through, and your babes will have built in playmates as they get bigger!
