When will I start enjoying having 2 dc's?

I have ds1 2.11 years and ds2 9 weeks. I thought things might be more settled and enjoyable by now. I do have some reasonably good days, but I generally feel shattered - I feel like I am just runnning around demand feeding, toilet training, cooking, doing lots of laundry, etc. I feel like I'm not really getting chance, or don't even have the energy, to enjoy either of them at the moment.

Please tell me things will get better soon...

you will enjoy two when you have three......that is when you realise that two was lovely, and now you are in hell in a whole other parenting world.

seriousl tho, I started loving it when DD2 started to interact with the family and respond to her big sister.

I do know that by 6mths, I was completely in love with two, but at 3mths I was hating it.
