my two yr. old will be sharing a room w/ new baby (due nxt month) and i find myself worrying that he will for sure throw his pillow in on him or s/thing and i don’t know how this is all going to work,but it has to. I am sure our blogs will get funnier then,huh? I may bunk minman (2) in w/his sister at first…anyway, i can completely understand your anxiety ~from one new mom on the fritz to another.

I also get wicked nighttime anxiety sometimes and I remember it being particularly horrendous while I was pregnant. My biggest anxiety was that we would go broke financially, that and all of the nesting stuff. I don’t know why, but I was gripped by the idea of her having a perfect nursery. If I had only known that she wouldn’t sleep in her room until she was close to 8 mos old!

I’m sure everything will be fine. Take deep breaths. It will all work out!

It’s so overwhelming to think about, isn’t it? But then, when you’re in that moment (with a newborn and a toddler), you just DO IT and before you know it, it’s a year later and you think, “How the HELL did I do that?”

And did you feel guilty for being the one to turn Peanut’s world upside down? Because I know I did!

You’ll do fine!!! Claire was not even 2 yet when Taylor was born and somehow, someway - it all worked out.

Oh! And painting the hallway. It’s all smudgey and chipped and a little crayon-y, and during the night I practically weep wondering how I’m going to get around to painting it since it connects to all the living room walls and THEY’D need to be repainted TOO, and also the FOYER–and in the daytime I think, “Who really cares if the hallway looks bad?”

Yeah, what IS it with that? The things that in the night seem SO TERRIBLE AND PRESSING, in day seem like they’ll be fine. I keep lying awake worrying about room arrangements and car seat configurations and stroller issues–and then in the day I think, “Well, we’ll work it out. It’s not like we have to figure it out RIGHT THIS SECOND.” Tell it to THE NIGHT.
