singingsea I feel you 100%. We've been home for almost 2 weeks now. I was afraid I wouldn't love #2 as much as I did my daughter. Well.... I feel REALLY bad. And I haven't said it out loud yet because I feel so bad... But I'm not a fan of my toddler right now. I'm sure it's all hormonal and me adjusting and the fact that the nb is easier... But I just don't have the energy to deal with a toddler right now. I feel so distanced from her. Which gives me all the mom guilt. But I'm hoping once things level out, my feelings for her will return to pre-brother level. I feel miserable. Momming sucks sometimes.
theotherjacobsons, merryrissmas, flyakite - glad to hear I'm not the only one! I feel a little terrible that I would get so annoyed with her when she was just trying to help. A whole week was just too long. At least now I know my limit. Lol

I cursed myself by being excited about good sleep last night. E hasn't let me put her down yet. And DH was a jerk when I asked him to step in for a few minutes to try and settle her after I'd been trying to get her in bed for 2 hours. He gets to sleep all night... Cool.

Good luck pismoduo! I had cytotec with my first induction and it worked really well...only needed pitocin for the last two hours of labor. I hope you have the same success.
Reading these stories about toddlers makes me so nervous. I'm not looking forward to pp hormones and how they will affect my relationship with DD.
Congrats olive!! Hugs singingsea. Hang in there it will get better. With DS he had such a hard time the first week it broke my heart and I cried so much. The second week was better but he was still acting out more than usual. The third week has been a total difference. He is doing so good and not acting act hardly at all. He is adjusting. We just had to make sure we spent lots of time with him and took turns watching the baby so we could give special attention to DS. He just needed reassurance that we still love him and want to include him in things. I hope things get better for you soon.
