I think change is always scary. I know when I quit my job four years I was so scared I was doing the wrong thing. It felt strange at first but now I wouldn't have it any other way. You will be okay.

I still have no idea how I survived the lack of sleep with the first and the second made her look like a walk in the park, but we survived. I have a lot of help though this time. Last time I gave in to the huz don't do it - Keep the daycare for all of your sakes. and more ice cream in the park. that will make everything better. somehow you will survive.

Which was soon, because I had to go back to work four weeks after my second son's birth. After the initial adjustment, getting used to having to get them both up and out at the same time became so routine it seemed like it had never been any other way. Not saying it was easy, because it wasn't always. But you do what you have to do, and it all eventually becomes routine. Speaking of routine, I am with you on keeping Carter in daycare on a part time basis. It's already part of his routine, and routine is really good for children. Part time will allow him to keep his routine and keep things normal for him, yet he'll still have plenty of time at home with you and be able to get to know his new baby brother without everything he's used to changing. Just a thought :) <em>Devilish Southern Belle's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DevilishSouthernBelle/~3/275442770/'>No post yesterday</a></em> You will be fine; there’s always enough love to go around :)

Granted the schedule changes and there is much tv watching (thank goodness for playhouse disney). But ... he tv will not kill Carter in the short term. And you'll be back on your feet before long and then it will be do-able. Matt's been in daycare for a month - he's there till the end of April. But really, I've kept him home a fair bit and it isn't too bad. As for the sleep thing - I'm finding it easier this time along with the whole nursing thing. One day at a time. <em>LD's last blog post..<a href='http://lauraldawn.blogspot.com/2008/04/post-baby-weight-debate.html'>Post-Baby Weight Debate</a></em> Honestly … not nearly as bad as I thought.

I felt the same way! I won't lie to you...the first few months are HARD as HECK!!! It will take a few months to get used to juggling 2 kids..figuring out priorities and such. Hang in there though.
