I do. With Andy I had no clue what I was doing...and was so nervous about everything with him. With Matthew I lightened up a ton and now with Anna it feels so easy having a newborn, even though I have 2 older kids (that are still too young to help much). I'm sure it helps that Anna is a very happy baby, but I def. think it gets easier with each baby!
Yeah, I agree. I think it just makes sense. Like with anything else, you get better with practice. The first year of a childs life is definetly the easiest. You only learn this in retrospect though.

I feel more confident in my abilities this time around. But it's become very clear that EVERY baby is different and they already have their own unique personalities that are emerging.
at first i was a little worried and kinda forgot how to do everything lol.. now its real easy.. like been here done this why was i even worried before?
I found that two was a little harder for me, but that adding the third was by far the easiest transition. I am hoping that having a 4th (when this baby finally decides to arrive!) will be just as easy. I love watching the kids interact and logistically it's nice to have some older children to help with things, too!

I worry tons less with this baby! I would always check on my first baby while she was sleeping to make sure she was still breathing, and I hardly do that at all with this one.
The only thing that is harder is trying to entertain a cranky two year old while caring for a newborn.

It's alot easier then it was going from two- three. I've learned from whatever mistakes I made when I breastfeed my last 2. And I know who to got o for advice and who to ignore. And how to handle crazy people.

I'm the oddball... I think it's MUCH harder. Arianna is SO hyper and Isla has had horrible acid reflux (she's getting SO much better now because she's on meds), so I've just been exhausted! Don't get me wrong, I love it! But it took me a good 4-5 weeks to get adjusted. Now, everything is great.
It's half and half for me....It is easier taking care of Robert, but my I am doing a lot more work in general...kwim...It's not easy with Ernest and Robert going from here to there, shopping, appointments, work, etc....I get exhausted half way through the day...
