My husband and I have been discussing having a second child. Our son is now almost 17 months and is a really high energy and curious little soul. He's fantastic, but requires lots of my energy and attention. I remember when I was pregnant I was very very tired and worn out. When you were pregnant, with one (or more) child/ren how did you function with less energy?
When I had my son, I was able to nap when he did/does and able to rest that way. With a second, how do you get any rest. Babies require lots of attention and lots of sleepless nights. I'm not good like that. How did you do it?
We don't really have the option of having family come to help us out. They're either far away or not willing to babysit a lot. How can I get the rest I need and be able to have another child?
