For us, it was the lack of sleep. Even though it was really rough with our first, we got used to STTN before #2 came along. Going back to waking 6 times a night AND still having to care for a toddler was really rough. Now, I finally feel (at 9 months) that we are back in the routine (even though DD2 is still waking 2-3x a night)
-
Time management. I felt (and still feel) really guilty not having all the time in the world for my big kid.
-
Not being able to give LO1 enough of my time.
-
Splitting my time between the boys when they both need me. And going back to not having any alone time. Ds1 had gotten more independent but lil bro is a mamas boy.
-
Balancing attention between the two siblings, and lack of sleep. The bickering between DH and me have started again!
-
Helping my older lo to adjust.
-
Re shifting responsibilities.
-
Juggling everything, and decreased brain space. I seriously feel like a crazy person all the time. Getting two kids up and ready and out the door in the mornings by myself is the absolute worst part.
