What they don't tell you about being a mummy of two.

When I fell pregnant Emilie, I was told a few things about what to expect. 
My toddler will get jealous and resentful, I'll be exhausted all day, every day. I'll struggle to get anything done.. all I heard was the negatives.

Emilie is now 4 weeks old (tomorrow) and I've found all of this to be untrue! Our experience has been nothing like what we were told. It's been full of laughter, fun and happiness. 

The house has been fine, the toddlers been great.. and I've managed to eat and pee in peace too!

Now some of the other things they didn't tell me are quite amusing, and make this mummy of two malarkey a whole load of funny.

I've compiled a list just incase you want some light hearted humour about being a mum of two littlies.

1- You may find yourself being tag teamed. Stuck between a toddler that's fallen down the loo and a newborn happily cooing next to her own vomit. You will then have to prioritise who needs dealing with first.. the hysterical toddler or the teeny newborn!

2- Belly buttons may freak your toddler out! For the first week, every time Alyssa would see the cord and clamp, she would run and hide.. she thought it was a monster.. I guess we managed to change Emilies bum in peace whilst she was sat under the dining table!

3- Getting out the house before lunch may be a struggle at first, but it's okay because you'll burn plenty of calories chasing the toddler round the house trying to get her shoes on, and making trip after trip up the stairs to collect bits and bobs your baby frazzled brain had forgotten! 

So between the disturbed sleep and the long feeds, look back on the funny things and feel blessed to have such amazing little humans in your life!


That's all for today, Tamar xox
