[quote=Anonymous]My kids are three and five months - when I was on maternity leave, our oldest went to daycare most days because she liked her routine and wanted to see her friends. She dearly loves her baby brother, but she was very frustrated in the early days when he was eating every two hours or so and I wasn't very available to her. Sending her to daycare during that time took away a lot of that frustration. When the baby got a bit older and could go longer between feedings, we had some nice days with all of us at home. I also agree with the PPs who've said it's less intimidating the second time around - you've got walking, talking proof that you got through this once, and you can do it again.

I stocked our freezer with easy meals, and we ate a decent amount of pizza in the early weeks too. When we had grandparents in town, it was really great for our big girl to get some extra attention from them - perhaps your mom can do something special with your two year old or take the baby for a bit so you can do something fun together.
