Why doesn’t she just keep the baby in the stroller until she gets her daughter in the swing? Seems like she made things harder on herself!!

When elisabeth returns to the view on monday, she is gonna bring out baby taylor. So if anyone wants to see him, check it out. From the picture of him when he was born, he looked just like tim and grace, so I’m curious to see him now.

I was about to say the same thing Christine! Someone needs to give her a sling lesson… My sling was the single most used baby item. At 20 months, my son still loves the sling, and it makes life MUCH MUCH easier on momma! I love it!

breastfeeding? I thought she was the poster child for Nestle formula.

I have 2 two! All I can say is “Cheer-up”, it just gets worse!!

I love E.H.’s blog entries! The first thing that popped into my head… Elisabeth needs to get a good sling! Then she can breastfeed AND have both hands free.

To answer your question… I don’t know yet. I have 3 year old twin boys, so having two at once is tough enough right now.

Sarah’s note: She does, she talks about it in her blog entries, but I guess she doesn’t have the right kind or hasn’t figured that out yet!

I waited till right after the baby ate, and I fed him , that I headed out, saved time, and he slept!

The joys of two! I developed a rare and often deadly pregnancy related cardiomyopathy and I can tell you the ONLY positive of that horrible experience was not having to deal with my 24 month old and newborn ALONE for the first two months. Once my heart healed and I could lift my toddler son for the first time in months (I was massive while pregnant) I was in for a shocking amount of exhaustion going from near bedrest at the end of my pregnancy to actual bedrest for 2 months post partem. There were days I didn’t know if I could make it!

Now at 9 months and 2 years, 9 months my toddler is almost over hitting his little sister and loves to make her laugh. It’s a rather smooth life we have, mostly!

My girls are 23 months apart. I have to say I was as lucky as could be – despite the terrible twos, my toddler was great with the new baby, and I had a new baby that makes you want 10 more. That said, the hardest thing was finding time for ME! What I wouldn’t do to just drink a cup of tea while the whole thing is still hot! Of course there were days when things got hairy, but it passes – my baby is now 10 months, and the dynamic of the two together is the most amazing thing in the world. There’s not much I love more than watching them sit together and laugh!

I can totally relate to Elizabeth’s post; my two children are about the same age difference, with my daughter being 2 1/2 and my son being 7 months old. While I have pretty much adjusted to caring for them both now, WHEW! When my son was a newborn….it was TOUGH sometimes, balancing it all!! The toughest part, for me, was when my husband had to work at night and I had to put the kids to bed by myself. My daughter USED to get a bath every night….I wised up and now she gets 2 baths a week! There were times where my daughter was so tired and needed to go to bed, so I’d meet all my son’s immediate needs (diaper, feeding, burping, etc.), put him in the swing in my room and then he’d usually have to cry for awhile while I put my daughter to bed. (He wanted to be held ALL THE TIME when he was a newborn.) We all survived and are all happy, despite some of the difficulty we experienced at first. Hang in there, Elizabeth!!!!
