Please remind me that 2 children is do-able

Because right now I am having a total failure of imagination, and I can't imagine how we are going to do this whole second-child thing.

Thanks.

Completely doable. Families have been doing it for years.

It's really not too bad. Just busier.

Either my second baby is an angel or I was a wussy the first time. She's been a breeze.

Not bad at all...even with her being colicky. Now with my 3rd I almost had a nervous breakdown!

[ohgillian]

Thanks! I just needed to hear (see) people state the obvious. I will resume breathing.

Or even just people checking in from the "we've survived" camp. I'm good with that too.

I feel with the second one I was more relaxed. I knew what to expect with every stage/milestone. I wasn't as anal about everything baby related. Going places with two was not bad at all. Just go with the flow.

Totally doable. My second was even easier than my first.

I have done it for 4 years and am still alive to tell the tale

I am hoping my 2nd will not be as intense as my toddler. But overall she was not that bad. I am with you I have trouble imagining how dinner time or anything that requires me to cater to two kids.

Totally doable! It's hard at first but then gets progressively easier. I swear that having our two boys is easier than having just one because they play together so well. They're currently building "santa's workshop" in one of their bedrooms, lol.

Too late now!

Just kidding. It's totally doable and awesome. Challenging at times, but a great adventure.

They are so effing cute together. DS (3.5) often says that DD (14mo) is his best friend.

You'll be fine! My second is a lot harder than my first and it's still awesome.

They are so stinking cute together, it'll make your heart want to burst. Last night, for the first time, we had both kids in the bath together. When my little boy realized his sister was there to play with him, the smile on his face and the squeals! And my DD just kept saying, brother's silly, brother's silly! SO cute!

i went from one to three... still have a life

This makes me think I might want to TTC in about a year instead of later on.... gulp!

It is totally fine. I stress sometimes as I have a FT job and feel like we're running all over the place, but doing it with one child or two hasn't really been that much more work. I agree with a pp, that with the second you already know so much more, so you worry less about the small stuff.

DD is about 3 years older than DS and she adores him. She helps me so much, it is really sweet.
