For those of you who haven't heard, we're having a boy! Since discovering that we're having another boy, I've been trying to get used to the idea of two boys running around. I admit, I get a bit freaked out at the idea. Thankfully, I've got some time before this one comes out let alone starts running. I've also been adjusting to the incoming thoughts of how I'm going to manage things with two kids.
For instance, how am I going to shower in the morning with two kids, especially since I'm sure David won't be taking a morning nap by the time this one comes out? I guess the easy answer is I won't be, but there's got to be a way, right?
How am I going to get two kids out of the car without one of them getting run over? I have gotten two kids out of the car before without incident, but they were older, not 18 months apart with one being a newborn. I do have an idea of how this is going to work, but I panicked for a few minutes when the idea first popped into my head.
How am I going to get dinner ready with two kids? It was next to impossible when David was a newborn, but maybe this one will be more willing to lay in a sling or otherwise not be held while I get dinner ready. Provided that I can keep big brother from messing with his new buddy/plaything/arch-nemesis for mommy's attention.
I keep reminding myself that David will be older by the time this baby comes out, thank goodness! I'm excited to be adding to our family; I just realize that it's not going to be a piece of cake and that it'll take a lot of shifting how and when I do things.
