Yes, if you think you get those "tired" comments when you're pregnant with your second, try having four - especially if you previously told everyone on the planet you intended to stop at three. I was worried before our second arrived: what if I don't love him as much? What if they both need me at once? Who do I rescue first if the building is on fire, and what does my choice say about me as a mom? But then he arrived, and he was perfect in every way, and somehow I managed just fine, mostly. I do remember having a brief meltdown the first time they both cried at once and I didn't know what to do. And I did it again the first time three cried together. And four. But it's kind of like working in triage in the ER - you just assess who is crying more urgently, and deal with that problem first. Yes you will be tired, mostly because that whole "nap when the baby naps" thing will seem like a distant dream. But you'll read books to the big baby while you nurse the little baby, and you'll invent games like "lets see who can stay still the longest here on Mommy's pillow." And don't even think about making fancy meals or doing laundry for awhile. Then one day you'll wake up and realize the baby slept through the night, and you'll take both kids to the grocery store and manage just fine, and you might even toss in a load of laundry coz both kids are napping at once. You'll have one of those days, and you'll realize you can do it, and you'll feel really darn good about yourself. And then, because those days are few and far between, you should immediately lie down and take a nap. Because for the rest of your life - you'll be tired.
