  • It does get better. We have 3 (ages 2-8 now). You’re in the hardest part right now.

    I highly recommend talking to someone, whether it be a therapist, friend/family, or support group. It helps so much to know you’re not alone and even just have an outlet to vent.

    Find ways to get even 30 minutes to yourself and/or with your partner, even if it’s just when the kids are asleep. Go on walks, with and without kids, if possible. Talk to them about what you’re feeling and help each other through it.

    Most of all, remember that this is temporary. This is where you put in the most work with the least visible results. Within weeks or a few months at most, your kids will be interacting with each other. This time next year, you’ll have a toddler running around babbling and laughing with their older sibling. You haven’t even begun to see the life changing magic of their relationship with each other. It will come quickly and never stop enriching your entire family’s lives. It does get better. 💕
