2nd baby on the way

Me and my husband have just found out we're expecting our 2nd baby we have a daughter who is 2 years and 7 months. She'll be 3 and 3 months if all goes well and the new arrival comes in June.

This is really just for some reassurance from any other parents out there who have 2. I'm overwhelmed by panic of how I'm going to cope with 2. I don't know why because our daughter is very well behaved (most of the time) She is very bright and I don't have a problem with holding a conversation with her and teaching her right from wrong, but sone times having one can be so tiring how am I going to cope with 2!

Any experiances for reassurance - or to prepare me for the years ahead greatly received.

Katie

Parenting is a job and like any job you have to learn the ropes and improve as you go along.
Don't expect to be supermum, no one is that. Cut yourself lots of slack, enjoy it and remember the more you parent the better you get at it. I'm sure you will be great at looking after 2 or maybe more ????? ;o
