Ttc #2, but I have days that I am not broody... At all

I felt the same way. I love my second! And it is sooo challenging BUT some how we have the time in the day to do it all. There is nothing better than seeing my son love on his sister and the joy in my daughters eyes when she see her big brother. But yes.... I dreaded having another baby up to the day of having her lol

I'm 30 weeks along with #2 and I feel all those things too. Some days I'm excited to see my daughter be a big sister, she loves babies and always tries to take care of them. But other days I'm exhausted and feel overwhelmed at the thought of adding a newborn to the mix.

I had my second when my son was just 2.5 years old. He’s an absolute handful. He had a hearing impairment which caused a communication barrier until just recently when it was surgically repaired. He now can hear but since he hadn’t been able to for so long he tends to have full blown tantrums/meltdowns multiple times per day. He doesn’t have much self awareness either and he follows directions sparingly to put it nicely. It’s been a seriously trying time. I love my daughter to death, some days she helps me get through the screaming fits my son is having. She’s the complete opposite of him. Mellow, smiley and playful all day. Even though days are extremely hard juggling the two, I wouldn’t change it. You’ll figure out how to split time, share time, or give that special one on one every single day. In the beginning, your guilt for paying so much attention to the baby haunts you but as soon as the schedule and groove is established it’s basically split.

I completely understand. My son is also 3 with A LOT of energy. We get to sleep at night, though, and have so many things we can do with him. We want a second and are trying, but there are days when I really second guess. All my friends have. A second kid and make it look like it’s the greatest thing, but I think some people just need more sleep than others. I worry about what lack of sleep will do to all of us...

In the same spot! I’m pregnant with number 2 and the pregnancy was planned but I’m way more nervous due to all that you mentioned. I think it’s overshadowing my excitement :(
