[quote=Anonymous]I did it. It was very difficult, but you make it work. DD1 was 14 months when DD2 was born and I was home with both of them for 4 months of maternity leave. It was a small disaster but I managed. It didnt help that DD2 nursed 24 hrs a day and DD1 decided to give up her nap - she got maybe 15-30 mins of sleep per day, usually when I was walking her in the stroller (which was not helpful as I could not sit and rest). What helped was 1) having a friend who I could get together with every day. She had a 1 y.o. DD too and the girls could (sortof) play together. 2) having a set schedule. We were out the door every morning to the park by 9am. 10:30 story time at the library, 11:30 lunch, 12 - gym for me and kids went to babysitting there, 1 -"nap", usually just sitting home quietly and playing, 3 - back out to the park, book store, pool (only with another adult), etc 3) knowing DH would be home by 5-6pm. Good luck![/quote]
