My Experience Transitioning from 1 to 2 Kids

December 6, 2020

My Experience Transitioning from 1 to 2 Kids

I was overjoyed when we found out that we were pregnant again, but soon I started to worry what would happen when we transitioned to 2 kids. (At first I called this post "going from 1 to 2 kids," but the reality is that it is truly a transition for the whole family.) When I was still pregnant, I worried about a few things...
