You may not feel like you know what you're doing, but you do. Every time the new baby does something, you'll have memories from your first to compare it with, to remember, "oh, my pediatrician told me that was no big deal." You have figured out things about yourself as a mother, the way you like to parent, and you'll put those into practice with your second without even thinking about it. Also, watching your older sibling give kisses and hugs to a new baby is the most heart-melting thing ever. As soon as your new baby is able to interact even a little bit, they'll be playing together a lot. Sometimes they even entertain each other so well they don't need you! I don't want to give you the idea it's going to be a breeze--it's not. I'm on No. 3 now, and I certainly have my moments of thinking it's all too much and I can't handle it--but I had those moments when I had only one baby, too. And I don't think they're necessarily any more frequent than they were back then. I think being occasionally overwhelmed just is part of being a parent, no matter how many kids you have. Most of the time, I have a lot of fun with my girls. I'm sure you will too.
