Two under two... It gets easier, right?

[Keepontrudging]

So... I currently have two under two. Ds is a very, VERY active 21 month old and ds is 6weeks. It is not as hard as I anticipated, but it's HARD! The lack of sleep is the culprit. I am assuming it can only get easier as DS starts to sleep better? Some friends have said otherwise which is scaring me... As once younger one is mobile you have two to run around after. I don't see how that can be harder than being up from 4am after interrupged sleep, but then what do I know really?! I'm new to all this ??

Thanks middlings
I agree with middlings that in many ways it is easier having the newborn (though I did have a difficult pregnancy tbh) the only thing that's harder is getting out the house (!argh?) and not having evenings to yourself to look forward to, IME. I was sleep deprived when pregnant anyway as so uncomfortable and had a lot of worry about ds (who is thankfully fine) so that hasn't chnaged much. It's lovely having your body back. Your carrying two too so that has to improve!! Good luck xx

TheEagle the REALLY fun bit was that she didn't walk yet and dropped her morning nap in ooh, mid August.

Yes, having the pair of them was way easier. Although trying to get Dd1 away from danger while DD2 was latched became a challenge!! I walked down the stairs without carrying a child this morning. I really enjoyed that!

I sometimes carry them both!
