missing my relationship with my toddler ๐Ÿ˜”

Stephanie
I have a soon to be 2 year old and a new 2 month old and I love them both with my whole heart!! I love our new family of four but I often catch myself missing my relationship with my toddler. I breastfeed so my newborn needs me all the time. I'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mom until my babies get a little older and I go back to teaching. I've spent a year and half being just me and my toddler so I guess I got used to being able to give him lots of lovin's and attention. Now that I'm not able to play and love on him 24/7 like I used to, it just makes me feel bad and sad. He's also growing up and wanting to do things independently which is great, but I can't help but feel a little sad that he doesn't need me as much. I do try to spend as much time with him as possible especially any time I'm able to put down baby sister. But of course she always wants to be held lol. So I try to play with him or read a book while holding her. I just feel guilty because it's not just me and him anymore and I don't feel like I ever get to give him my full attention. I'd love to be able to spend at least a little one on one time with him but my husband gets home late from work and when I try to let him hold the baby he just brings her back within 5 minutes because she's crying and "he thinks she's hungry" (I fed her right before I handed her to him ๐Ÿ™„ every time). Anyway...I do everything that I can to make both of my babies feel special and loved but I can't help but feel like I'm not doing enough because I have to share my attention. ๐Ÿ˜” I just needed to let some feelings out and I wanted to see if maybe there's any other mothers out there that feel the same? I'm hoping that it'll get better as baby gets older and everything will even out. I'm just afraid I'm always going to feel like it's not enough because I can't give each my full attention.
