So your baby is finally here! Soon, people begin to ask when you are having another one. And by the way, there’s no single time a woman doubts if she’s ever having another baby than when she has just had one?
These external voices are very convincing. Often the voices are of those who wish they hadn’t spaced out their babies too much. So, you decide to ‘fuatanisha’ just like the experienced ones have told you and soon you have a newborn & a one year old…or if you resisted ‘fuatanisharing’ for long enough… A 2 year old.
If you had a c-section, your older baby has no idea…and they still want to be carried as usual and healing will take a while as a result. If baby no. 1 is still breastfeeding? Well.. you now have two babies to breastfeed. At this point your older child is at a stage where they are getting curious and adventurous and you literally have to watch their every single move. Doing this while caring for your younger one requires much patience and grace. They are learning new skills like feeding themselves or potty training that need a lot of attention. Did I mention how chaotic their sleeping patterns are? Sleeping when baby is sleeping doesn’t work much of the time because one of them is usually awake while the other sleeps and often wakes the other up by making mega noise! ? Diapers… Let’s just say the cost of diapers for both kiddos is phenomenal ? hurriedly trying to potty train the older baby won’t work? Just carry the cross of ‘fuatanisharing’.
But it’s worth it all for double the love and double the wet kisses from your babies? Soon they will be all grown and independent. You will miss the old days and be glad you ‘fuatanishad’?? or not???
