2 kids, 10 times the work?

I had heard from other people that having 2 kids didn't just mean twice the work, it meant 10 times the work. I have to be honest--it doesn't feel that way at all yet (knock on wood!) Yes, it's harder to get out the door, and I probably will never be on time again. But Owen just hasn't seemed to add that much more work (which is great news for people considering having a second). I know that when I go back to work this week, it will be more challenging in the mornings and at pick-up time. We will have to make slight adjustments, like getting their clothes and items for daycare together for the week on Sundays, and enjoying less home-cooked meals, and rushing more. But in general, having Owen just feels like life as usual. Isabella has been such a huge help, and again Jamie has been such a fabulous, hands on father that having a newborn/infant in the house again hasn't been such a challenge. When Isabella was a baby, I was more hesitant to take her out to places, like restaurants, the mall, etc. With the birth of your first child, your life just changes so drastically that it's a harder adjustment. This time around we decided we would just bring Owen with us wherever we go. We have been able to enjoy eating out, grocery shopping, gymnastics, swimming, parties, and a lot more with no problem. If he's hungry, I just whip out my handy nursing cover and feed him, no big deal. I think that incorporating him into our regular lives, without making a lot of changes, has made this time around seem easier. It feels like we have always been a family of 4 and that this is the way life has always been.
