Are you having a second kid?? Well, then you came to the right place! I was pretty nervous and I wish I had watched a video like this! I talk about giving yourself grace, how to prepare your toddler, and the importance of cherishing the time you have while pregnant. I know you're probably busy so thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the 5 things that I wish I knew before having my second kid! If there are any other tips that you would give please comment them down below!

A little about me:
I wanted to create this space so that people who have always wanted an older sister (like me) have a place to turn! I create content on lifestyle, parenting, and whatever else you all want to see! I am a mom of 2 little boys, I live in Utah, and I love to binge shows in my free time (which I wish happened more)! Leave me a comment if you have any questions! I hope you join our community so that we can encourage a fun, informative, and happy channel together!
Your support means the world!!
Love, Holly!

    Anyone else trying to watch this next to a loud toddler & can't because the captions are showing up in Portuguese? 😩

    We’re trying for baby number 2 but i’m so scared. I want my son to have a sibling and someone to play with all the time but i’m so scared my mental health wont cope and my postpartum rage will take over and make me hate myself
  • @laurrwhit
    I love the snack basket idea! So smart ❤
  • I'm 32 weeks pregnant and so ready to be done! I am in so much physical pain / discomfort that I have been struggling to be patient with my 21 month old
  • I really like this video and your channel. Not sure why you don’t have wayyyyy more subscribers , views, and likes! You’re such a natural behind the camera .
  • Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Loads of lessons learned. Definitely doing everything ❤😊

    I’m expect my second this summer. We’re having a little boy, so our first child will be a big sister and we’re all so excited. Thank you so much for your tips, I’m looking forward to giving these a shot.
  • ‘It’s really important to give them a lot of patience and love during this time’ well said and beautifully put. I hope my first can adjust to another baby but I know it’s going to be a big change for all of us
  • @kylesuggs7009
    I’m a dad and found this video helpful for my point of view, too. Thanks!

    I love this video and I definitely learned new tricks for introducing a second baby into of our current family of 3 ….im 6 weeks with my second and I really love your advice! Thank you for this video!!
  • Give yourself grace! Love the idea of easy on-hand snacks. Great tips ❤
  • Im expecting my second in August and this was so helpful...im going to be having 2 under two soon....so excited ❤
  • @ange3193
    38 weeks and unfortunately my first is sick right now but the good side is he has to stay home with me and we’re spending so much time together
  • @heycharise
    Thank you SO much, your spirit is so sweet. My babies will be approximately 14m apart and I am both elated that I will have two so close together for their sake throughout life but as soon as I found out I couldn't look at my first the same... He's still such a baby at nearly 11 months and time is just slipping away. I'm obsessed with my first- I love him so much and he is very mommy driven, very focused on me and clingy with me (breastfed baby) but it's a great reminder that no two babies are the same. I feel that we can even sense the differences in the womb- these two pregnancies symptom wise are similar, but the subtleties of baby's positioning, trademark movements from different body parts, and my overall emotional landscape already tells me these babies couldn't be more different! These tips were super helpful, thank you again!
  • @darianalexi
    We’re expecting our second baby in November, thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely adopt the baby doll and snack idea. What practical ideas!
  • Omgah I’m 31 weeks and I’m def at that point where I’m tired of being pregnant. 😂😭 but I love that you brought that up! I have really been trying hard to stop myself from wanting to rush these next few weeks. I’m physically pretty miserable at this point but I know things are gonna change drastically the moment my l/o gets here. I have a 6yo and she’s excited about her sibling but I know it’s going to be a huggeee adjustment for her. It’s hard but you’re so right, thank you for that!
