How is it having 2 babies?

Question

I’m so nervous you guys .. I just need some feedback. My son is 2 going on 3 & I’m about rn give birth any day now to my second boy & I love them both with my entire heart but now reality is just hitting me and I’m soooooo nervous to have 2 kids, I’m always gonna be the best mama for them & always going to try my hardest and just give them the world but I’m nervous on how it is having 2 kids.
I just feel so guilty for my first born. I don’t want him feeling any type of way or left out, and I’m nervous on how it is financially, it’s just a lot to take in, it might be my hormones right now idk, but someone please give me some honest advice on how it really is having 2 kids. I’d really appreciate it

Answer

I felt guilty when I had my second bc I thought she’d feel neglected w me having to show my newborn more attention at first but I just tried to involve her as much as I could. There’s times she’s still very clingy & will want all the attention herself and she’s 3, youngest is 1. It gets overwhelming but honestly it’s not as hard as I thought it would be (also just depends on the parents/kids). But you just have to do your best and know that they appreciate it even if they can’t express that!

Answer

I won't lie. It was a huge adjustment for me going from 1-2. But my 2nd was a very hard newborn. She cried all the time. I cried all the time. I felt guilty that I couldn't spend as much time with my toddler. But it got better. It got so much better. My youngest became the most content baby and my two girls became so attached to each other. They played together all day long. When the baby took a nap I sat down with my oldest and we played or colored or read books. Still to this day at 8 and 6 they don't leave each other's sides. And now my 3rd is right there with them. I believe siblings is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.

Answer

It's not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. I have a 3 month old and a 2.5 year old. We thought our toddler would be jealous and too rough and regress etc, but he did none of that. He loves his baby sister so much.

Answer

I have 2 boys 2.5 years apart and it wasn’t that bad. You’ll have your harder times and better times of course. I find it harder now Their 5&7 yrs now and omg they fight day in and day out 🙄 over EVERYTHING! But their best buds🙂... as for feeling guilty, I felt that way too, I felt so bad for my first born but honestly, i don’t think he even really noticed life had changed. I found time for both of them!

Answer

I would feel guilty or how am I going to love another child like I love my first and all I can say is that your love just grows just like when you get married and have ur first baby you don't love your husband any less. But my boys are 19m apart and I love it and money wise not much change I saved everything from my first because I think it's silly to get rid of everything if you know ur gonna have more kids and the grandparents helped out  and I breastfeed so that helps alot and cooking more at home. But yes I love having my 2 boys and already have baby fever again lol. Congrats and safe delivery
