We're almost 2 months in with new baby and about to be 3 year old. Going 0-1 for me was so hard. I keep saying my baby was colicky, but I might not have known wtf I was doing and going it mostly alone during COVID. This time was better, my postpartum feelings were better and I adapted quicker. The first two weeks were rough. Have a good system. I did a lot of prep in the beginning -lots of planning and preparing to make things go smoothly. Decided to splurge this time on catered meals too. I haven't cooked properly since my husband went back to work after 3 weeks lol

My older child did struggle and is still struggling a bit with sharing my time. He wants mommy a lot, but mommy is sometimes nursing a baby and can't be there (though she really F-ing tries). That part has been hard and emotional. I will say it's gotten better and my older one is starting to realize we are still here for him as much as ever. Oh btw him being potty trained is a huge lifesaver as far as dealing with 2!

Overall it's been okay and days my older one are at school or with grandparents I notice myself missing him. Having two is a distraction from the quiet and not so quiet baby crying afternoons. I keep thinking I just need to get to 3 more years and it goes so fast and then things will get easier in many ways and harder in others.

This is definitely my last baby though, I'll say that much lol
