I agree...snuggle time is a MUST! It is amazing what reading a story or kisses and tickles will do to the cranky disposition of a toddler. She is also finding/defining a new relationship with her daddy. It is cool to see them grow closer together! In fact, I don't know how I would do this with out my dh. Perhaps that is why I don't find it that hard, he is really helping me out and sharing the new responsibilities.

It's funny..I actually asked myself the same question while I was pregnant..how am I going to handle 2!?? especially 2 boys!? I was really nervous in the beginning........

But after a month now with 2...I must say it felt A LOT easier the second time around with a newborn! Thanks to all the experience with DC1! Now the maiin concern for me is getting my sleep, getting enough energy, and getting enough alone time with DS1..I feel like I've leaving him out. I just hate the idea that I can't give my 100% attention to DS1 anymore...

My toddler is definitely in the "terrible 2's" stage which is not fun, he's being "bored" during the day which I feel really terrible. I just can't keep up with him!!

I need to find my groove stilll but so far...it hasn't been terrible!

I do nurse both at the same time at certain points during the day/night..it's great bonding time for us. I just wish I had abundant endless supply of milk!

Good Luck! I think you'll be fine.
