Advise on the second baby- baby blues?

[Elisemum]

Hi everyone, I’m expecting my second baby in approx 8 weeks. With my first baby the first month or so was just a blur, I was stressed, sleep deprived and didn’t know what I was doing, it was all very overwhelming even though the pregnancy was my biggest dream ever! Obviously things got better and better and now I have an amazing 2 year old - the absolute love of my life!! I’m just wondering did you find it easier/less stressful with the second baby?

Honestly my second has slotted in so easily it's like he's always been here! It's obviously tricky to juggle two and there were days when it felt like all three of us had spent the day in tears but we quickly got into a rhythm. It was nowhere near as overwhelming or emotional as first time round. Sling was a godsend as was DH taking extra leave on top of paternity leave and keeping my eldest in nursery.
