Right now, baby and I are both sick (he's worse than me, poor chicken, but I still feel pretty wretched), and DH has surgery tomorrow. The ability to take a sick day would be nice!!

Would have to say trying to give everyone of my children equal time & attention. I also have a fear that the choices I make for them might some how fail them ( if you get what I mean).

Trying to balance everything. Giving her enough time and attention while still getting the housework done, performing at an adequate level in my job, having some time to myself and keeping fit.
Also trying to make the right parenting choices. There are so many options and opinions out there. Trying to figure out what fits my DD and our situation and would be the best for her in the long term is a real challenge sometimes.

Confidence in my own parenting skills and abilities and choices I'm making for DD.
She's a happy healthy baby girl who is loved and cared for yet I still doubt myself at times and what I'm doing.

Keeping my common sense intact. There is so much scary info out there you could drive yourself mad buying into it all.

Nothing at present. I haven't really struggled with anything when I think about it either.

Juggling full-time work and motherhood
Being present equally for both children
Not losing sight of who I was and what my interests were pre-kids (i.e. making everything about being a mom)

Balancing time between kids when one kid needs more time/attention than the others, and then the house needs attention as well.
Open homes, living in house while its on the market, and trying to keep toddler from full on detruction mode when trying to clean in preperation for said open home.
Copping flack from family who dont have kids, therefore have higher expectations.

I struggle with tryign not be become consumed with the baby and be a person as well. I have had PND and trying to move on from that by taking more time for myself and remembering who I was before baby but it's hard. I also struggle with frustration, I love my boy more than I could ever love anything but at times I get annoyed with him and that makes me feel guilty.... like if you love something that much you shouldn't be able to get annoyed with it, but you do..
Also balance between being a mum and a wife is a big thing it's hard sometimes to be both
