I’m only 12 weeks with number 2, but I’m already thinking about when this one is here. When I had my son, I just kept him home for the first 2 months. He only went to his dr appt and my 6 week appt. he’ll be close to 3 when this one comes and is used to going church each week and going a few other places. Do I just keep him from those for the first 8 weeks or did everyone slack up a bit with the second? Did you have someone else take your oldest to church or wherever so you could stay home with baby? Surely, we don’t throw out all precautions with baby #2...

Also, if you had a csection with your second, how did you manage caring for a toddler? I had a csection the first time, so it’s possible I’ll have another with this one. I just don’t know how I’ll care for my toddler. My toddler is mommy obsessed, so it will be super hard for him to not be able to climb on me and stuff like that.

I’ve considered a few different things, but none of them are ideal. They aren’t ideal just because of the way my family is.
