So much harder than I thought it would be

I really only wanted one kid and I had to go through <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> to get him. I love him more than anything in the world but he was a difficult baby and I was so happy when he got bigger. That was 3 years ago and last February I found out I was pregnant with #2. I hate to admit it but I wasn’t happy at first. I had finally gotten to a point where I was happy and enjoying my first kid so much! Now I would have to do it all again but with a toddler too! I hoped this new baby would be different but here we are 3.5 months in and he’s not much easier and it’s taking a major toll on me and my relationship with my 3 year old. It’s killing me not to be able to give him all the attention he needs because I have to constantly hold the baby. Yesterday and today I lost it and yelled at him and I’ve never felt so horrible in my life. It’s all becoming too much for me to handle. I have some help on some days but even then I feel like a horrible mother all the time. My baby won’t sleep unless I’m holding him or nursing him and it makes it so hard to play with my toddler and by the time my husband gets home from work to take the baby, I’m too tired to give my toddler the attention he needs from me! I’m at a loss for what to do. Any advice would be wonderful. On how to play with my toddler and also on how not to lose my patience so easily all the time
