I think people forget, and those who don't tell you are trying not to scare you. I felt very similar to you, and then I had another baby 18 months later and the feelings intensified along with a depression due to lack of sleep and being overwhelmed. 2 under 2 sucks, but I got through it and things are much better now. Once you get out of the "baby zone" your head stops spinning and you have a child, a talking, walking person with their own personality everything changes again, mostly in a good way. And then there are the teenage years to look forward to!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567282327927356266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-75170382207477221872007-03-02T07:18:00.000-05:002007-03-02T07:18:00.000-05:00Brilliant post!
