It's been...interesting.
My daughter is adjusting alright. Although she had a tantrum when I set him in her high chair for 20 seconds while I was making him a bottle. And we're working on the sharing thing.

It's not AS bad as I expected it to be. But I don't know, maybe I'll be thinking differently once a week or two passes by and this all sets in. The only majorly hard part has been trying to fit in all my class work. And getting up at 1:30am and 4:30am for baby feeding, plus remembering all of his medications and when to give them to him.
And I managed to get him into my daughter's daycare, which is great. I was hoping not to have to make two separate stops on the way to work in the mornings.

This is all still really freaking scary though. When he goes back to his parents, hopefully within the next 2 or 3 months, I'm not having more kids for like..ever.

I really hope everything settles down, for your sake!
It's probably really tough on your little one, since she's used to having you all to herself. That's her territory and she's probably going into shock with having another child using her stuff. I'm not sure if she's old enough to understand but maybe you could talk her into helping you with him.

That's a really big transition for all of you to make, so it makes sense that things are a little crazy right now. It'll probably get easier once everyone gets used to all the changes. You'll probably only be able to focus on school when they're asleep and such. If you haven't already, it might help to post some sort of visual schedule to help you with remembering the baby's medicines and stuff like that. Put it somewhere you'll see it a lot, like maybe the fridge. Hopefully, that'll take care of one issue for ya.

If anybody asks you if you need help, don't be ashamed to take it. I know you said your parents would be willing to help, so that's good.
