Anyone with a 1year old toddler and pregnant again with baby #2

Hello,
I just wanted to know how many of us here have a 1 year old toddler and expecting their 2nd child?

I have a 13 month old daughter, and expecting my 2nd child, 1 Day shy of 8 weeks.

Thanks for sharing

Yes :) im 30w3days with a 15 month old expecting my second daughter March 28th. I think its great that they are going to be close in age. They'll grow up together and i love that. However i don't doubt that im going to have a tough time coping with a newborn and a toddler who needs repeating and explaning with constant attention. But all good things don't come easy right? :) Im doing as much as i can to prep for my 1st months with this baby.. Like leaving precooked meals for the family.. Deep cleaning the home and giving lots of love to my lil one so she can cope well with her sisters arrival. Anywho congrats on ur pregnancy. :) and get as much rest that you can:)

I'm 34+5wks with baby #5. I have 18 month old twins, 9yr old and an 11yr old (all 5 are boys). My older 2 are 27 months apart and I got a lot of negative comments about having them as close as we did-especially from my family?! Honestly, I wouldn't have changed a thing! They grew up together, are still super close, my oldest was able to help with easy little things (getting the diapers or blankets) which made him feel like a big boy and it was great! Potty training was even easier with my 2nd because my 1st was able to help show him how to do it. LOL (fruit loops helped a great deal too...between learning colors, counting and aiming)

Don't let what other people say or think get to you. They're not in your shoes, and all situations are different from one person to the next. Be happy, enjoy your pregnancy and as much one in one time with you little one now before the baby comes to strengthen your bond. You can do this and I'm sure are an amazing mommy already! Good Luck-you got this Mama! ;)
