Pregnant With 2nd Child, And So Worried About Raising Two Kids?

Ok. Sit back and look @ what U have told us! U already take care of 2 kids day to day! U take care of your daughter, who is 1yr old, & a newborn (that u babysit for)! So U are already doing it! Yea, granted, U don't have the newborn over nights, but that is really nothing! Sounds to me like u need to get some organization in ur life now! Trust me! I have 3 kids, I was a single mom w/them most of their lives & being organized REALLY saved my a$$ a few times! It really is not that hard to take care of 2 kids...especially when they are little! Get your daughter on a schedule right now. Bedtimes. Bath times. Feeding times. Play times. Nap times. All of these things can b well in place and working for you b4 the new baby comes! And then get him/her on a similar schedule as the 1yr old! And then schedule ur cleaning, washing and other household chores w/their schedule! Wash dishes right after the meal (so they don't pile up). Do laundry and vacuuming when they are napping. But don't forget to schedule some MOMMY time as well! And don't feel guilty for doing this! It is something that we moms often times forget to do! And we need it! But, like I said, if U are organized and have the kids on a routine, U will see that U wont get as overwhelmed as before and that will ease ur stress and strain! If U start to feel overwhelmed, talk to some1! Ur OB/GYN. Family. Friends. Hubby. Some1! Don't let it get as bad as it did before! U have been there now and know the signs! Stop it before it gets that far! Good Luck!
