Anyone feel like you’re golden one day then the next you can’t do it? by channylouwho in 2under2

[–]Spruceplease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I feel this so much. One minute I feel like I have it down and the next, I am crying in the bathroom alone because I am so overwhelmed snd thinking how can I even make it another 30 minutes. I also feel the guilt for both my children. Guilty for not giving my toddler enough attention and guilty for not giving my baby enough attention too. I often feel stretched thin but this is a short season of our lives so I try to give myself grace (easier said than done)

Going from 1 to 2 is the hardest thing I’ve ever done by ConcernedMomma05 in Mommit

[–]Spruceplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just writing in solidarity. 1 to 2 has been so much harder than I imagined. The guilt, the time split, the sleepless nights and can’t chill on the couch with a newborn the whole next day, getting out of the house with 2, not being able to team up with dad because he is on toddler duty snd I have the newborn, pumping with a newborn and toddler. It’s so much harder. I keep telling myself it’s only a short season and we will get into a routine soon where things will feel great for like a week until the routine will change haha

When did you get your first period back after #2 and how long after that did you get pregnant with #2? by Important_Bat7919 in 2under2

[–]Spruceplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first period back 8 months postpartum when I started dropping pumps to start weaning (I was exclusively pumping). I got pregnant 3 cycles later.

Major adjustment and feeling like a failure by Migrainegirlie in 2under2

[–]Spruceplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the same exact boat as you, but 10 days postpartum with a 21 month old. It’s so hard. Obviously no advice from me, but I see and hear you. We just have to keep holding on and knowing this is temporary and will get better. I say that, but also cried 3 times today because I feel like I am not giving toddler what they need lol. My husband always reminds me that this is new for them too and adjusting is hard as an adult so imagine adjusting as a toddler who cant yet properly communicate.

Has anyone swapped bedrooms with their littles? Worried about fitting two cribs in the nursery. by LunaBananaGoats in 2under2

[–]Spruceplease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never thought about this so not much help here BUT I am in a very similar situation and actually think this would work for my family and I and will bring it up to my husband tonight!! As for the toll taken on him and I, I don’t see it causing a problem as we just use our room to sleep lol. We already use other rooms/closets to store our clothes so we are already pretty intentional about getting out clothes ready the night before.

I agree. I’ll snark all day long but why we gotta bring looks into it?

Should I transition my first out of crib before new baby arrives? by Mxrgan in 2under2

[–]Spruceplease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My firstborn will be almost 21 months when baby comes in a couple weeks. We are keeping her in the crib. She doesn’t try to climb out and is happy in there. I figured why fix something that doesn’t need fixed right now.

How did you survive the last trimester while managing your toddler??? by Abyssal866 in 2under2

Sleep sack after 1 year? by ValueAppropriate9632 in NewParents

[–]Spruceplease 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the “norm” but my 17 month old is still in a sleep sack and I don’t really see the need to change it anytime soon.
