Adjusting to two kids

I should add that while things have gotten worse with DD1, I am feeling a bit better about getting through the day with two. My mummy radar is slowly catching up! I'm only late half the time and getting better at getting out the door. We're doing stuff for DD1, have started playcentre and going back to coffee group, which she enjoys.
I am struggling to do stuff with her while I'm feeding because if she gets too close she starts hitting DD1, so reading etc. are out. I must remember to try the balloon idea. But we do baking and arts and crafts stuff when DD2 is asleep.
I do feel bad that there are times when DD2 is crying or needs a change and she has to wait, but I guess that's part of it too. They both have to make room for each other and they both have to wait at different times.

I have found that I really had to let go of a few things. I used to dress DD1 in nice clothes and then change her if we were doing messy play, but now I'm a lot more relaxed and prepared to let her just be a kid and get stuck in to things. I have really let the housework go until I get things with the girls on track a bit more. The house is a lot messier (but still hygenic) but it makes life a bit happier on all fronts.

Heh - me too! I'm always the last to arrive at coffee group. What's more aggravating is that another mum who has recently had her second child is always the first and always on time! How does she do it?!

Lol yeah I was gonna say that littlebug - that she tells herself it starts at 9am when it actually starts at 10am

I've found organising the baby bag/snacks/etc the night before helps. But some nights I'm too tired to be bothered...
