That is wonderful advice. I don’t think we truly believe how much work a second child is until we experience it… it’s so true- the dishes can wait! Except for the baby bottles, of course.

One of the greatest things about a sister is the advice. I’m sure she appreciated it!

Kerri- A true friend will fold your laundry. 6 loads is beyond true friendship. It is real devotion.

Thanks for your good wishes. I hope all goes well too.

Good advice to your sister! You’re absolutely right that having the second (or third) is nothing like having the first. And definitely ask for what you need! When my third was 6 weeks old (the others were 4yrs and 1.5yrs), Bald Man went and exploded his appendix and had emergency surgery. I felt totally overwhelmed (not to mention sleep-deprived). My friend and her mom came over and folded 6 loads of laundry. One of the best gifts I’d ever received!!! And that same friend came over one night to get up with the baby to do his feedings (I’d pumped) through the night so I could try to get at least one night’s sleep. I still woke a bit, but it was nice not to have to get up!

Hope all goes well with your sister’s delivery.
