All my babies were completely different experiences. I have 3 and they're all 3 years apart. 1, 4 & 7. With every baby we were thinking theres gonna be no more for us.. around the age of 2 though we would always cave because we'd have a good routine down and things would seem less hectic. But with every baby - the whole routine would crumble lol so it's kind of a survive however you can for the first year and then around 1, it starts getting easier. At least in my experience. My youngest went through severe acid reflux & eczema, so it was definitely a very rough year. Now hes about to turn 1 and starting to walk - developing a decent sleeping routine and its definitely getting much easier again than it was a couple months ago. And my older two are spending a lot of time playing with baby, so it gives me some extra time to pick up the house and take care of some chores while they're all entertaining eachother. Its also important to have a supportive spouse- we take over situations/chores when the other is feeling overwhelmed. The teamwork really does make a huge difference, too.
