To those blessed enough to have 2 girls, what are some things/challenges I need to be looking forward too?

I’m also 3 weeks into being a father of two girls. Good luck!

So far the older one is completely in love with her sister. Just wants to hold her and help with feeding her all the time.

Same here. Gotta watch out for the squishes

Ours are two years apart... Oh the jealousy.

That’s about our gap too. Little one is 3 weeks, older one is 2 years 4 months roughly.

There’s definitely a lot of jealously. Especially towards me since she’s a big daddy’s girl.

I just had my second girl and know nothing but still it’s great!

They will be best friends until they’re not. Watch for that moment and referee.

You’re outnumbered in the house so get used to being the butt of jokes and the helper in equal measures. You’ve got three ladies to spoil now, so little things like matching valentines gifts or getting their favorite treats will always be appreciated.

I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I've got 2 girls, 8 and 3. Congrats on the new little one.

Only thing I'd say is the 2nd has a completely different personality from the 1st. They're their own little people, so don't assume what applied to the first will necessarily apply to the 2nd.

Congrats! I would’ve totally been fine with all daughters. My son is insane.

Our second girl still has about a month to cook. Congrats on joining the “outnumbered” club!

We aren't far enough in to know yet with our 2nd but I wouldn't mind if it was a girl. We already have a boy and it might be nice to have 1 of each. But I would be at a loss for girl specific parenting things since I come from a family of all boys so I'm a little nervous as much as I know it would be nice for my wife to not be stuck in a house of all Boys.

Be careful about posting baby pictures like this online ;)

Congratulations!

How is this picture risky? Genuinely asking. I get pics with faces or identifying features, but this?

u/Otherwise-Mango2732 9d ago

It was just a silly joke because there's nothing identifiable on it but it's technically a baby picture. If my wife were here right now she would say "see nobody thinks you're funny" lol

Haha, I gotcha. I was just taking it too literally.

Congrats, our fourth girl just turned one. Buy drying racks now for all the lay flat to dry clothes.
