Stay in baby!

I see tons of posts about being "so over" being pregnant, and I wish I had that luxury! I'm chasing after my toddler all day every day and barely have time to think about being pregnant, let alone time to get sick of it! I'm dreading October in a way because then I'll have to figure out how to be the mommy of two babies instead of just one.
I'm excited for delivery, to find out the gender, and to hold my baby the first time. I'm just not sure how I'm gonna hold it together with two (one is hard enough)! I really wish I could go back to impatiently waiting for baby, but in reality I'm hoping I go a bit over my due date so I have more time to cherish what might be my last ever pregnancy (at 21 years old).
Any other mamas having a hard time thinking about adjusting?

I understand where  you're coming from my daughter will be 3 in August and all she does is destroy my apt and talk back and acts as if she doesn't hear me when I tell her to do stuff...but luckily she'll be starting preschool this year!!

Yeesh! Y'all that can manage them close together are heroes! I'm not a kid person in general. I love my kiddo but I'm seriously wanting to be out of the house and working as soon as this baby is off breastfeeding (which will probably be about two years from now). I just can't imagine being happy as a stay at home mom much longer. I'm no good at it!

I have a almost 14 month old and I'll be having my 2nd boy July 29th (if he don't come sooner) and I'm excited for my baby boy to almost be here . Yea I take care of my 14 month old pretty much 24/7 cause the bf works 6-7 days a weeks and works mornings . But I'm honestly so over this pregnancy cause of the pain and what not . I don't mind taking care of my 2 when my other son is here !!! Once your other one is here , it'll kick in fast on how you'll be able to take care of 2 babies (: my 14 month old is way easier to take care of then my 11 year old sister . Watching my 11 year old sister is like taking care of 5-6 kids -.-

Ugh I have no clue how I'm going to potty train with a tiny baby in the house! We were planning on having her potty trained by two (she was showing signs of readiness and loved peeing in the potty) but then I got pregnant abd my morning sickness kicked in! Now she has no desire!
