My coworker brought her 2 month old to the office today.

I feel like I forgot about a lot too. I'm enjoying the newborn stage way more this time around though since I actually know what I'm doing haha.

Awwwwww! That's really sweet and a fun thing to look forward to.

I have to admit I've been asking myself what the heck was I thinking for getting pregnant again now that G is so fun as a toddler. The newborn/infant stages seem so far away and such a distant memory. I *think* I remember enjoying them too, especially all the snuggles, but if I'm honest, I barely remember what life was like back then.

Oh good, that makes me feel better. I thought I was going to break out in hives reading your post.

The newborn stage was sooo much more wonderful this time, when I wasn't paralyzed with fear on an hourly basis.

I am enjoying this newb related positivity and loveliness as I reach that place in pregnancy where I am beginning to convince myself that it will be GREAT FUN and NOT TIRING AT ALL to have a baby to care for 24/7

The second time has been so much easier, even while having a toddler to take care of. It'll be great!

I love newborns this time! Ruby is sooooo snuggly. I just took her little bit (late) 2 month pics yesterday!

I am very minimally more tired this time. I think just being used to it after the first time helps some. Plus I ended up with a great sleeper after a crappy one so maybe the universe was giving me a break. But just caring for a baby around the clock is easier to me after the first time.

I agree that it's a lot easier this time around. With #1 I think I had a lot of anxiety about entertaining and engaging her constantly when really all she wanted and needed was to sleep. I feel a lot better about just enjoying the sleepy snuggles with #2.

I forgot a lot but I appreciate the little things a lot more now. I obsess more over the coos and smiles more now because I know how short lived each little stage is. I cannot wait to see E.
