How old was #1 when #2 was born? 18 nomths

2. Did you get out and about straight away? No

3. Did you have set routines? Yes, its helps keeps the girls settled, they get very out of sorts when we change things, we aren't strict with the play activites just feeding, naps, bath and sleep routine. They can both be really hyper but they calm down once we start the bath and bed routine.

4. What was your lead up attitude to 2 under 2? Positive, but I had a hard time in the last trimester on bed rest almost all of it so I think it made me more determined to ger going

5. How did your 1st react to bub #2? She was excited but a bit jealous too

6. Did you BF or FF and how did you find either and how did #1 react? BF, wouldn't take FF, DD1 was put out to start with but we gave her her own baby to play with and I would ask her to help by getting cloths etc.

7. Did your partner help a lot and what did he/she do? Yes he would feed DD1 at dinner time and give her some one on one time before bathing her and he is the main one to put her to sleep.

8. How do/did YOU feel? tired, happy, emotional? Happy but exhausted, it took a bit of getting DD2 into a routine as she had night colic.

9. When do you clean? When the girls sleep and now when DD1 is outside or at daycare twice a week, also have someone in to help twice a week as DH hates doing it he would rather pay someone.

10. When/How do you cook? Found a couple of great places nearby who have home style cooked food, manage to cook most nights now.


I have found I have to have a routine, its slipped a bit this week so the house is in a bit of chaos so I need to catch up, being tired with no 3 in the way is making it a bit harder at the moment! Will probably have 3 under 3 for a day or two if I have a third pre term labour! Crazy I know but we think this will be it. I am trying to make sure I stay organised and DD2 is going into daycare too so both of them have me to themselves for a day so we can go to their swimming lessons.
