I'm 5 months pregnant with our 2nd baby and am beginning to move from the euphoria of getting pregnant to anticipating the practicalities of trying to introduce a baby into family life!
DS1 is 4 and I tend to be the one who does the bedtime routine, baths, etc. When we do try for DP to do these DS1 ends up having a major tantrum; but they have been away together without me and have been fine.
I really don't want DS1 to feel pushed out by the baby but can't imagine how I'll be able to handle DS1's bedtime routine and bf and put babe to bed sleep too.
This is the obvious thing that's on my mind at the mo but I'm sure there's lots else I'll need to get my head round too.
So, any tips or tricks from all those Mums of 2+ out there?
