Took us 5 years to feel brave enough/daft enough to go through it again!

Being 4 months in with our first, I can totally understand
It was 8 months before our daughter slept more than 45 mins, almost broke us.
Good news though, everything went smoothly, happy little lad has joined our family.

Congratulations! Let's hope he sleeps better than his sister then
Hopefully we are a bit older and wiser with this one. He will have to fit around us rather than running the show like our first

Congrats!
We are T-minus 12 days out from the arrival of our first! (basically could happen any day now!)
Praying he doesn't decide to make a move during rush hour whilst I'm still at work! Everything ready to go though, partner is now on maternity leave and just waiting. Pretty much the same sentiment in my NCT group throughout, just anxious waiting around until "The Big Pop".
Congratulations @Minstadave !
Can’t imagine what life will be like with 2. It seems like we’re only just coming out from a fog after our daughter was born.

Yeah that lasted pretty much until our first went to school, like started to get back to normal and along came number 2.
I feel like I can see the light and my girl is not even 4 yet. This morning she got up, did a poop by herself, got dressed and ready for nursery and everything while my wife and I lay in bed. Honestly I was so happy. The sound of those turds splashing in the toilet was like music to my ears. I think maybe when school starts in Sept we might have a semblance of normal life.
So yeah, no more for me thanks. Just waiting to get the snip. Hats off to you brave fellas, but not for me!

As if they guy who started the thread is one and done!
We've got number 2 on the way, fully expecting our (now) 22 month old son to raise hell for the first couple of months of having to share attention and be a sibling but hoping the transition isn't too bad and he's all the better for it in the end.
Yeah poor show that
Haha hey, I love my daughter, but I've seen how hard more than one is!

Howdy fellas, been lurking in here for quite a while now and picking up lots of useful bits of advice but I guess now that it's "official" that the wife and I are due our first in August I should actually pile in ahead of any actual questions I might have (I'm sure I will)... Currently just trying to start thinking about what needs buying etc. and try to cut through all the crap to work out what the most worthwhile bits of kit will be (versus what we can either do without or pickup on the cheap)... Exciting stuff!
I think two can actually be easier our boys (3 and 5) play together loads meaning we don’t have to entertain! It was hell before our youngest was old enough to sleep properly but now I wouldn’t have it any over way. Each to there own though, my brother and sister both have 3 and I think they are mad!
good luck with all the recent and soon to be arrivals!

Our second is three weeks old and we have a 2 and a half year old already. Id heard all the horror stories but so far its been really good.She isn't interested in her little brother if you try and force her to do anything but if you just let her work it out for herself she is desperate to help with bath and nappies and all that jazz. As long as you keep her involved and give her a lot of attention too then I think its ok.
