    yeah, have to say that i am not buying that argument either LOL! been up 3 times last night to one child...the thought of throwing a younger baby into the mix does convince me that 'easier' is not the word that would first come to mind LOL!
    That's what scares me!! I won't be having another one until DD is sleeping good, I might not survive otherwise, pmsl.

    Same here Sara.... I've been saying that to DH lately.... Until DD sleeps better... I'm WAAAY too tired to think of being pregnant again yet... LOL!!! Although DH wishes we were!!

    Ugh, and imagine having to get up so much with morning sickness, ahhh...

    I was just thinking yesterday, is it also easier with the next one bc you know what to expect? You know that the first few months will be hard but you also know it WILL get easier.

    Definitely! Having a second one was a breeze in terms of knowing what to do and learning how to 'read' your baby etc and you feel so much more confident in your ability to be a parent kwim?

    i have found the first few months of having 2 very very hard, but now i am absolutely loving it and i couldn't imagine it any other way. my 2 are really interacting now and are just so much fun. the first 4 months or so were incredibly hard, but i'm so glad now that we got through it, it's all been really worthwhile.

    I thought it would be easier than what it is going from 1 to 2! I am finding it really hard, as Aiden is that wonderful age of 2 and working hard to push all boundries and Charlotte is a very unsettled baby- extremely windy (poor lamb) and screams/cries most of the time!! Aiden was an easy bub and fell into a routine straight away but this time it is completely different and I feel like a 1st time stressed mum!!! I know it will get better and she is only 6.5 weeks old (I hope)... Also had a hard pregnancy which I guess dosen't help my mental state!!! Though I love them more than life its self- its just a hard slog at the moment!

    The second one on its own is easier like you said with feeling alot more confident, knowing how to do things but just the 2 together is whats tricky!
