I'm 21 also and I am expecting my third child. I have a 4 & a 3 year old. Both are on the same schedule. Having a schedule is a lot easier.

Hey, im 24 pregnant with my third. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old. Im due october 20th. I dont know if youre already doing this, but ive found that sticking to a strict schedule and routine is what really helps me A LOT. My husband works all day so its all me lol. Both kids are up at 7:30, breakfast is at 8:15. After breakfast, we get dressed and brush teeth. Then its playtime, if I dont have errands to run. At 11:30 we have lunch and by 12 they are both down for a nap intil about 2. After nap we have snacktime, and do activites(coloring,reading,arts and crafts, etc), by 4 im cooking dinner and thet are playing or watching a suitable cartoon for maybe 1 hr. By 5:15 were all having dinner. 6:30 bathtime. 8 is bedtime. Sorry if that was too much. Just thought id give an example of the schedule that really makes my day fly and its easy. I usually nap when they nap and it gives me a boost. Also, ive learned my kids behave better on a schedule because they know whats coming. I hope that helps u a little. Its really hard but it gets easier. Take care
