Just that really! Please share your experiences and advice. At the moment, I am full of nothing but questions and worries (though I know in the long term it'll be worth it!). Matching panel is in the next five weeks.
Would particularly appreciate advice on: fitting in naps/meals etc for toddler in someone else's home; staying in a hotel (other end of the country) with a toddler who's always asleep by 6.30pm and has never slept away from home; balancing building bonds with the new baby (7 months and potentially high level of need) with the needs of a jealous/scared toddler (23 months and been with us since 8 months - they are full siblings); preparing DS1 for a new arrival (he isnt verbal yet).
If you've done it, how did you cope? Please tell me it's do-able . What would you do the same/differently? And at the planning meeting, is there anything I should request/watch out for?
