Totally agree with Calee!

I worried, too, and tried to plan every possible situation when I was pregnant. Never works.

There's been a lot of tears, but it does work out. We had lots of MommyToddlerBaby naps. Crying with daddy when they want mommy is, like Calee said, not the end of the world.

Of course we do our best to help them. The cool part is that they are more flexible than you think and adapt so quickly! Our little boy grew up SO fast once the baby was born. Actually, as I type this, I am nursing the baby in the recliner and the toddler just sent himself to bed. I tucked him in and closed the door and said, "have a good nap, darling!" and he said "mmm-hmmm!" and snuggled into his pillow. Ya. 5 months ago? Woulda been a scream-fest complete with frantic puking and terrified panic.

They learn quickly through circumstances!!
