Second baby

Hey lovely, first of all big congratulations!! I have an almost 7 week old and an 18 month old so I thought I’d weigh in with my experience so far. I was also really nervous about how things would work. The truth is, they work better some days than others, but as long as you make it to the end of the day and everyone is safe and fed, that’s a win! I have had to lower my expectations quite a lot in terms of what I can get done in a day, which is hard but it helps to put things into perspective and focus on what’s important and what can wait. The housework will always be there and the children won’t remember if the house was spotless or not! I have also tried to give myself grace when it comes to things like screen time. If you need to use it then that’s totally okay. Use whatever tools you need to in this season to get through. I found that having some easy meals in the freezer for when I had baby was so helpful, and I’m just doing super quick easy dinners at the moment.

Character limit reached so carrying on here!

I have also tried to sleep whenever possible. It’s hard but even half an hour can make a difference 💘 i was also scared that I had forgotten everything about having a tiny baby but I promise it comes back to you! I can’t speak on c sections but I really hope that you have a positive experience this time round 🤞🏻💕 Try to enjoy the early days and look after yourself too! Accept help whenever possible and remember everything is a stage and you will find your rhythm 🥰💕
