All the tips are sound and good. Most importantly be the same confident in control parents you’ve been until now, and the bumps and scrapes will be just that; bumps and scrapes. The older one will get jealous from time to time, the younger one will soon learn how to manipulate the situation as well. You and your husband will be tired irritable and edgy. That’s life, and when your kid crawls into your bed and rests his/her head on your shoulder and you see him sleeping peacfully, or when you see him/her reach a milestone, it all becomes worth it, and you’ll never want it any other way. There is no cook book on how to raise kids. Good parents do fine without the manuals and bad ones founder about with them. Put your kdis first, ahead of all else, and one day you’ll see them do the same.
