[quote=Anonymous]It's possible OP is overwhelmed because she doesn't know what to expect with number 2. The anxiety and fear of having to go at it alone is probably driving this. I think a night nurse a few nights a week plus a "mother's helper" for a few hours M-F would be nice. Mother's helper could straighten up the house, do laundry, put together dinner and allow OP to take a shower. I remember constantly feeling like the dishwasher needed to be unloaded and the laundry needed to be flipped during those first weeks and it was strangely overwhelming. When I am back at work full time, it feels like all of this can wait and will get done when it gets done -- no big deal. If you can afford some help to reduce your mental load, I'd say seek it out. But you may also want some time alone with your family. Having help 24/7 would not be a good fit for me. [/quote]
