how do you cope with a 2 year old and a newborn?

I know I have a bit to go before my baby is here since in due in august! But Im scared of being a mommy of 2. So many questions.. will I be fusterated? Will I go crazy? is it possible to get a break?

My daughter was 14 months when my son was born.  I worried constantly about how to cope but it was so easy.  Of course she still napped, so i would put the baby down and we would all three nap together.  She loved to help out getting diapers, cream, running to trash, etc.  It will all work out.

You'll be fine! You adapted to having your first and you'll adapt again! My first was 22mths when my second was born and my third is due two days before my second turns 2, I'm scared scared scared, but it's natural. When it actually happens you adapt and it's fine! Good luck!!!

When I had my last daughter, my other kids were 8, 6, & 1 yr, then the newborn lol. My life was constantly busy. Yes sometimes I lost my patience thats normal. But by the time the youngest 2 were abt 2 & 1 they were best friends & kept each other occupied it was wonderful lol

Ladies as a mom of a 3yr old and 20month old let me easy ur worries well try to. My daughter was like 18months when.my son was born an to help easy the new baby in the house I gave my daughter a doll that looked like a real baby I taught her how to b easy around the baby an how to touch the little one. I am now doing this with my son who is 20montha old. My lil girl.is such a big helper when it comes to her little brother. When he came home I included her n the feedings an diaper changes an just little things so she felt like the big sister she fed him a bottle with me watching on his 2nd day home.
