It felt like as soon as I started to loose the baby weight from my first born, I found out I was pregnant with our soon-to-be second born (and 4th overall kid). It was a surreal experience knowing that I was going to have two little ones at home, and everyone kept using the term 2 under 2. 

What I think I mastered the quickest was nap times. Even a year plus later, the littles are still napping at the same time… or within the same 30-minute window. It is a blessing that they do this.

With our son I didn’t focus much on a nap schedule and went with the flow. I knew that that wouldn’t work for me this time around, and I also knew I didn’t want my whole day to be bouncing from one nap to another. I love having both the kids awake and playing during the day together. I also love the couple hours of free (I mean free-ish being a mom of 4) time I get during the day during their synced up naps.
