I occasionally get jealous of you ftms. I love my 2 yo but I don't get to sit around and watch TV all day anymore and it makes me jealous.
Agreed.
I also smile when people mention getting nervous to take care of baby alone because their husband is going back to work. I mean I get it because I remember feeling that way but it's a whole new ball game when you add an older sibling to the group.

Mamas to more than one are freaking super human to just keep everyone alive, let alone when yall do things outside of the house!
It was my first day alone with N in almost two weeks and I was so glad when H got home. I called my mama twice crying and him once today.
I have DD at daycare 3 days a week. I can't keep her home while I'm on leave and still keep her spot for when I go back to work. I still don't accomplish much other than feeding the baby.

I get jealous of ftms too, even though I am one. I didn't get to have the "real" ftm experience since I also have 3 step kids. It's been hard, especially when DH's not around. Of course, I knew all that when we decided to have a lo, and we talked about it, but I still sometimes wish we had more time as a family of three and a little less as a family of 6. And I feel like a horrible human being for thinking that.

Totally. Last time hubby went to work the day I got out of the hospital after severe pre e and a c section. You just make do.
An older friend told me yesterday her daughter didn't even change a diaper for 21 days after her sections......?

I can understand that. You aren't horrible at all.

I get jealous of FTMs too but then I remember how I felt with DS. I was overwhelmed, exhausted and everything was an adjustment.
I totally wish I could only take care of dd sometimes because it would be wayyyyy easier but I also know that going back to being a ftm for me would be emotionally exhausting so I'll stick to wishing preschool had longer hours! I'm enjoying the already being in mom mode and no anxiety this time around but having the toddler to entertain is rough!
This is so true!!! I don't miss that anxiety! Like when someone said "what do you do when you have to poop?" I smiled. Yep I remember being afraid to poop when DS1 was a baby. Lol

My H went back to work after 6 days and we've been on our own. I get us out of the house to preschool and grocery shopping. We've had friends over to visit and gone to visit local family. Remember my SIL also just had a baby...my 3 yr old niece is the odd kid that will actually sit still to watch an entire movie and then my sil had the newborn...she hasn't been alone at all since baby was born. Her mother has been there to help and my niece still goes to daycare 4 days a week until picked up at 6 by my bil. Now her mother is leaving and my MIL is going down to help...I mean, seriously chick? If you can't handle YOUR 3 yr old and a newborn, I'd love to lend you my 2 yr old who does not understand the meaning of sit still....and then see you complain. I really wanna ask her why she had another kid when she can't even handle taking care of 1 by herself. Sorry for the rant.
I love that H works overnight now because I love taking over the entire bed.
I so understand what you are saying. DH is in army reserves and is gone one weekend a month sometimes more. I love stretching out and sleeping in the middle of the bed. Dd (5yrs) though usually comes in and joins one night he is gone.

I was feeling all bad ass when I woke up early, BF baby, pumped one boob, showered (for longer than 4 minutes,) got baby dressed, in car seat, both kids in car, big kid dropped off early for school..on high way heading to a meeting with baby..only to realize ...I forgot to brush my teeth . Went around town ALL day and realized I STILL didn't brush them. Shhhhh don't tel anyone
+500 for being jealous of FTMs. I love my toddlers, but they are exhausting during the day when I am not getting sleep at night. I do not want to wish away my baby being little, but I can't wait until he sleeps through the night.
It's still Friday so here is my confession. I kinda half enjoy when Eli sleeps on my chest. I know he is fine and breathing. He just fell asleep in his bassinet for the first time at night and I'm now paranoid checking his breathing constantlu for no reason other than my own paranoia. I don't want anything to happen to this little miracle.

+1 we're trying to get W to sleep in the bassinett and I'm basically just laying here staring at the basin etc in the dark making sure he's breathing. Which is known he is because every day 10 minutes (max) he is screaming for us to pick him up. This is nerve wracking.
I think all of you with an older sibling are superheroes. I barely function with my 1 sometimes. And especially elvenqueenpurplegaloshestigger815. 2 newborns?!? All of you with twins or toddlers are seriously my heroes.

I keep thinking that if I meet anyone with triplets, I'm just gonna hug them. No questions asked, they're getting hugged.
