Hello All
Just wondering or having slight thoughts now and then like this morning when I am running around trying to tidy up Poo from everywhere and get him showered....blah blah how I am going to cope when baby comes. I keep thinking "My god have we made a mistake"..... then feel bad! I just wonder how it all works like when I am feeding baby what will Blake be doing...Have no idea how I am going to get Paige to school on time! Hubby is gone by 6 and not home til about then or later every night and sometimes he isnt even here for periods of MONTHS. So all in all been getting a bit stressed out in my head. How do you all cope ..those with a few kiddles???? -------------

Organisation is the key, a loose sort of plan with room to move incase of things not going to plan and just focusing on the task at hand. Paige will be a great help and even getting Blake to help with little things can keep him focused for a bit. You can do it, it can seem daunting to think about but once you get going you will be fine. Loads of support here for you too. I hope Blake's tummy settles soon. Sending him loads of get well vibes ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I agree with Kels, I get Izobel to help with everything with Eden, she loves getting the wipes/nappies, playing with her on the ground, and climbing up next to me in the chair when i feed Eden and now that Eden is on a bottle, Iz loves to hold the bottle and help feed Eden.
my DH is often busy throughout the day and weekend so im often alone also, so im here if you ever need to talk! |

im the same, my dh is at work from around 7 usually until 9 or sometimes later and weekends are always buisy for him, sarah is a real help even just with little things, sometimes its hard tho like bedtime is a nightmare, sarah cant understand that jett is awake because hes a baby, to her its not fair that he gets to stay up later when shes the oldest! lol sarah also has adhd so can be a real handfull at times.
being organized is the key, but unfortunatly im lacking in that department, lol  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD 10.5yrs DS 6yrs DS 11mths 5 little angles watching from above |

I can't offer much as I only have Jack and the moment. I sometimes think about #2 and how I will cope as you are now. Mum said to me that when my brother came along she tried to include me in caring for him as much as possible so I wouldn't feel left out. When she bf him I would get a book and she would read to me - something you could maybe try.
All the best! ------------- Lindsey
