In fact, you are going to find that dealing with an infant is actually the simplest thing you ever have to do! They only want like three things: eat, sleep, be changed. You are going to look at them and look at your toddler having a meltdown/running around/breaking things/demanding playtime/demandingstorytime/refusing to eat what you want them to eat/and the list goes on and on; and you are going to ask yourself "why did I think this was so hard the first time around?" We all do--when I had number 2 and I realized that all they really do is sleep all day, I couldn't believe that the first time around I felt like I could barely brush my teeth and change out of my jammies in a day! It's amazing what a little perspective will do! Congrats!!!

My kids are 9, 7 and 5 now. I actually took a nap the other day while they watched a movie! I am listening to these amazing meditation tapes--instrumentals--part of the Synchronicity series. You all should try it. The music matches your right brain waves to get you straight to relaxed! Whitney There’s hope! My kids are 9, 7 and 5 now.
