Excellent Series on Preparing for Baby #2

I'm always discovering great resources and wonderful support on the API Speaks blog, and their recent series of posts on preparing for a second child is no exception.  I thought you might find it interesting, so here are the links:

Part 1:  What on Earth Were We Thinking?
Part 2:  To Tandem or Not To Tandem
Part 3:  Making Room for One More in the Bed
Part 4:  Soon They Are Best Friends

Read it and let me know what you think!  Do you have any insights on the addition of a second baby in an attachment parenting household?

  1. This was very interesting reading; thanks for posting. Seems pretty clear there will be challenges - obviously!! But the joys & ever-expanding laps & hearts will be so extraordinary. I'm especially excited to see the Kiddo, such a natural helper & lover, in the big brother role. So exciting!!

  2. now that we're trying for number two I can say without hesitation that I am delighted that you (one of my favorite AP mamas!) got pregnant first! ;)
    I thought these were great articles and I'm looking forward to hearing about your journey!

  3. i cannot offer any advice since i do not yet have two children. but, i loved the article series, and i would encourage you to do what is best for you, taro, and the kiddo.

    for me, it's difficult to sleep with my peanut (i'm a very light sleeper and poor sleep equals a poor mommy), but there are times when i would rather die than not be able to sleep with him. so i think you have to do what's best for you, the kiddo, and taro. i'm becoming a firm believer in mommy instinct these days. i truly believe that you will know in your heart what is right for you, the kiddo, and the baby, and that you should listen to that.

    kisses to all!
