IF I CAN HANDLE ONE, TWO SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM!
I read all the books. I practiced swaddling on plastic dolls. I learned how to properly burp a newborn and I even watched all the videos on how to get your baby to sleep. I had no idea what I was doing, but despite this, I felt prepared when my first daughter was born. Call it naiveté, but my wife and I felt like we had it handled, and when situations arose, we dealt with them. With one child we were able to work together as a team and it made the process feel smooth and doable. One person did a task and the other watched the baby. I went back to school and was working part time, while my wife worked during the day, so our schedules fit together perfectly. We felt like we had done it. We had made the transition to parenthood with little to no casualties! (This is when you should start shaking your head and laughing with our optimistic naiveté.) Two children would be no problem, right?
