is it not as bad as you thought with 2 kids?

If you have 2 kids or more---
Is it not as bad as you thought it would be going from one child to two or more?

Well i dunno if i really want more kids, ike is a good baby for the most part- otherwise he is a baby meaning they cry and all thhat its expected but i dunno if i could do the stresses of two or more kids, its hard with just one.
doesn't help that i feel like a single mom alot of the time, i cant imagine being a '"single" mom of two or more.

A couple people have told me whhen you have just one it feels so hard but then you have another and its not so bad as youd think.

I am not going to find out until June... but I will say that I have nearly died being pregnant and chasing one around. This pregnancy has wiped me out.

Going from 1 to 2 wasn't that hard, however 3 darn near made me lose my marbles-now it is great.You will handle it just fine, I mean really there are no other options once baby gets here.

The adjustment from 0 kids to 1 kid is the hardest. The adjustment from 1 kid to 2 is alot easier....going from 2 to 3 barely makes a dent of a difference (to me anyway)

lol you just started...

I was getting scared before my second was born. But it really wasnt that bad. The only thing that made it hard was how differently behaved she was. She was so needy and colicky where my son was such an perfect baby. So if you had a perfect one the first time beware number two might be a lot different.

Don't tell me that! I'm about to add number three in a few months!

I definitely agree that the adjustment to the first being the hardest.

and I want a third I'm just afraid!

Lol-well it was just situational.Unfortunately my little guy had many issues and caused me a lot of stress-my other 2 still needed Mommy and I felt stretched very thin.Like I said it is easy now-you'll be fine,lol.

when i went from 0 - 1 it was soo difficult.
then from just Alana, we had Jade (my step duaghter) move in with us last september and Amelia was born 2 months later and i thought it would be a nightmare going from 1 to 3 in a couple of months but it was no problem at all.
and now going to 4 i dont think i will even notice one more lol

Personally, I found adding a second child not to be that much more difficult. My schedule didn't change that much, and both my kids are so easy going.

I don't think it's that hard at all. My husband leaves at 5 am and gets home at 8 pm, 4 days a week. And I have 5, 3 of whom are 2 and under.
