One week in and having trouble coming to terms with how much of an adjustment it has been going from one kid to two. My wife and I always swore we wouldn’t let having kids stop us from enjoying our favorite pastimes (like recreational sports, hiking, camping, etc) and tbh we’ve lived up to that pretty well since having our first. But the toddler plus a newborn is just a lot, I find myself wondering how people have more than 2 (or how single parents survive at all.) Tried going to a soccer game yesterday and it was so hard on my wife with me just being gone for 2 hours that I’ve opted out the rest of the season for my other soccer and volleyball teams. I know we’ll get into a flow state eventually and of course it’s all 100% worth it, but I really underestimated the adjustment for sure! (Obvious caveat that I love both my boys and wouldn’t change anything for the world. )

That happened to us 3 years ago, but def gets better & easier. The hard part for us is we live on the opposite coast from both of our families & don’t have help. I promise you there will be trying & hard moments but it will get better! It’ll all be worth it because they’ll grow up together. Good luck brotha!!!!

Yeah we are far from my family too (about 12 hours driving.) We do have my wife’s sister in town, and that was helpful for the birth because she took the toddler while we went to the hospital. We also have an amazing daycare provider and we kept the toddler in because we would lose our spot otherwise, so that is very helpful too. But if my parents were here, it would be so much easier.
