I'm totally with you on doing what's best for your family! I nursed my oldest for 10 months, and my second for 6 months. For me it was too stressful with my toddler running around. For advise I would say be prepared to stay home a lot. So freezer meals might be a good idea. You will be tired. It is a beautiful experience enjoy it as much as possible! I'm sure you will do great! I think we all feel low after a baby, all those hormones. Just know God loves you and entrusted you with this precious little one, and it's okay for ask for help! Good luck, excited for you!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110561384521434514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564550093130873092.post-13934151304565755582012-08-19T23:10:41.092-06:002012-08-19T23:10:41.092-06:00I am so happy you feel good about being induced! ...I am so happy you feel good about being induced! I think it sounds like the perfect thing -- especially with Ty starting school. You definitely want to make sure he is there with you when you go into labor. You will do great!! Labor is scary but I guess that is the way it is supposed to be, right?! You have done it once and you can do it again. I always tell myself to take it ONE contraction at a time ... labor will end! You will do great! You will be a wonderful mom! Having two is definitely an adjustment but you and Maddux and Ty will all figure it out. I can't wait for you to hold your new little boy! I seriously don't think there is anything better than holding your new baby for the first time. Best of luck tomorrow. I think you will have a really easy time with it since your body is already ready for labor to start. Best of luck to you Whitney!!!!!!!!

And I feel 100% just like you....so many fears but so many things to look forward to also...it's been so fun to be prego with you and be just a week apart! I can't wait to meet Holden and we will have to get together lots since maddux and pais play so good together then we can cry and laugh together about the difficulties and funness of our newborns and being mommy to our toddlers! I hope your induction goes well...mine was such a breeze and there is nothing you should be worried about especially since your body has already experienced labor and delivery so I bet yours will e a breeze to...I will be keeping in touch andi hope you get to go in first thing in the morning and not have to wait any longer!

We just have Mia and I know I want other children but I just feel guilty and worry that she won't feel like our Everything if I do. I can't wait to read your blog and your experience when you do have your baby so that I can see how it might be to have another lil one. :)Whitney@SomethingBroughtYouHerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597987338557015914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564550093130873092.post-44806470097940762722012-08-18T20:15:33.180-06:002012-08-18T20:15:33.180-06:00Trust me I had all the same feelings when I was pr...Trust me I had all the same feelings when I was prego with #2, but once she was here it was fine. I was a new Mom; I was already doing the job. I think for me that those fears came because the first time around I had so much more time to over think things, but once you have more than one child you are occupied, in a good way. I also let my older children be in charge of forging their own relationship with a new baby; we never pushed. When my daughter was born my son could of cared less it took him two days to hold her. He wasn't jealous just in his own world. I understand your reason for wanting to be induced, totally ligit, but I have had to be induced twice and went once on my own and it has been night and day. If I were you I would see what I could do about trying to convince the babe to get things moving before Monday! Good luck; you'll be fine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564550093130873092.post-77269222285576990162012-08-18T17:26:03.478-06:002012-08-18T17:26:03.478-06:00Don't worry!

My three year old adores her. Breastfeeding is so nice. I sit down to breastfeed and actually spend more close time with my three year old because he sits next to me. We read more books and watch movies and snuggle while I nurse. I had post partum depression pretty bad with my three year old. I didn't have it at all this time.
