My son will be one in March and my daughter is 3 1/2. I feel pulled in two directions all the time! Thanks for sharing this on fb today. I've been struggling as a mom of two lately and it's nice to know we all feel that way sometimes, or even often. Ah I can definitely relate! My son will be one in March and my daughter is 3 1/2.

Tell me about it! I have a 5 month old and a 26 month old. I'm holding onto these days with all my might. Soon my little baby will want to explore the world and want to have a say. I am completely unprepared for that. Right now, things are great though. Any advice for allowing a small baby to crawl around and explore in a small house with a toddler playing boisterous games in the same space? I'm so scared of that day! Ha! Tell me about it!

It does get easier, though--you develop more of a balance. By the way, I love your site look changes! I know what you mean (with a 7 and 3 year old)!

How will I meet both of their needs when I know their needs will almost always be different. I need another set of arms. Babywearing is such a great thing, but they do get to a point where they want to be down moving around on their own more. So whatever brilliant solution you come up with in the next day or two, let me know! :) I think this is one of the things I’m most worried about when I have a second little one.
