My first 2 are 15months apart and while there were and are times that are hard they both adjusted well and my son is very good with his little sister! I am now 8 wks with #3 which will be due 24 months after 2nd baby so here is to having them all close together!!

You will be able to do it momma. At first it was a big adjustment but you will figure out what "schedule" works for you. I tried to have both kids nap at the same time but it didn't always work out and now that they are older we have a play room and we can go in there and they play independent so I can rest on the couch with them. Nighttime routine will come along as well...not at first as baby will need to eat but if older one sleeps well then you should do just fine. It takes time and yes hardworking but you will adjust and you can do it!! :)

There's 10 months between my sons, they are 16mths & 26mths - it was easy. I'm pregnant with my 3rd due 17th April there will be 23mths between this baby and my youngest son. I'm happy about the age difference because they're too young to get jealous etc.

I am pregnant again also and my daughter turns 8 months tomorrow. Not planned either as I was on birth control. I am still a bit overwhelmed by the news and I know it will be hard in the beginning with 2 so young, but any new baby is an adjustment to a family so I am trying to just stay positive
