Wow, this is going to be tough. I have tried to get my 3yo as excited as possible about this new baby that will be here any day and she is already starting to act out.

I am so worried about her. She has been my entire life since she was born.

This brings back memories of my first week home with my daughter. I was so sad that I wasn't giving my 5 year-old much attention. One night I sat with him in the bathroom while he was taking a bath, and I just bawled and bawled because I missed him. Things definitely got better as we all got used to having another child in the house.

It is amazing how each child has there own set of problems and issues. I have four and each one of them have reacted differently with a new baby. It is hard to hand all problems while taking care of a newborn!

This is EXACTLY how I felt. And no one told me it was going to be that way. But I *am* happy to say that it DOES get easier. It DOES get better. That love DOES overflow for your newborn like it does for your toddler. But it DOES take time. (((hugs))) and prayers!

It is really hard, isn't it? I find adjusting to having two kids was really difficult and I had a lot of mommy guilt - mommy guilt for not spending as much time as I used to with my oldest son. It gets easier, but stil...

Reading this I'm realizing that I am going to have no clue what to do when/if I have a second. I know this is a moronic comment, but it sounds hard. I don't know much, but I bet EVERYTHING will be much smoother when your recovery is up. The baby will be easier, the toddler will be adjusted, and you'll feel better. So I bid you a speedy recovery!

Oh, I know it must be a tough transition for everyone. Just know that you're new normal will come...and it's ok to muck you way through until then.

Those first weeks are truly so hard, at least they were for us. Toddlers just don't get it until it becomes part of their routine. But they are so young they won't really remember the transition and some day it will feel like this is how it has always been. Hope your recovery speeds up and you all start to meld into your new family soon!
