Our little girl turns 6 months this Wednesday 6-4 and we're talking about trying again very soon. From the ladies I've spoken with (including my mom as my brother and I are 17 months apart) I understand "it can be hell" for a little while. Then it's absolutely wonderful. Some have different experiences, of course, but that's the general consensus. It seems the people that have had the hardest time with it are those who are on very fixed scheduled with their kids.

My mom said she often thought of my brother and I as twins. So he did some activities "late" and I did most activities "early" but we both turned out ok. She also said where my two brothers (I have one that's 7 yrs older than me as well) had fixed nap times I never did. She left it to me to pass out when/where I needed to since we were always on the go. At 5 weeks old I was out on the boat, not long after that I was taken on bike rides. So my brother and I had a lot of our "firsts" at the same time because when he was ready, I went along. The other thing she said was with each child it got harder to nurse since nursing is harder on the go (of course, I think things have gotten better in terms of nursing in public). She thinks I'd be fine with 2 under 2 as I'm pretty laid back.

Happy Pregnancy to you!!

My 2 youngest (girl & boy) are 14 months apart. Yes, it's challenging and its really like having twins ( at least to me). I was scared to death when I had a four month old and pregnant again! You will have your moments where you think you can't take it anymore, but then the waters calm and you find your rhythm. There is never a dull moment in your life, but they are all worth it! They are really close with one another, play together well and will grow up best friends! Enjoy it! Congrats!

congrats! my sisters had all theirs close in age and they said it was challenging but now they are older and they are growing up wonderfully. My sister actually has irish twins LOL (2 under 1) I cant imagine that!! My son is 16 months old and I'm 9wks pregnant. I felt that this was going to be craazzy. lol Baby will be born few weeks before he's 2. eeeek

My brother and I are 12 months apart.. My mom says it was quite the surprise to find out she was pregnant 3 months after giving birth to me! She says it was a lot of work but at the same time my brother potty trained when I did, learned his "ABCs" and "123s" with me so there are a lot of nice things about it too! My parents didn't try to rush him or push him, he just picked up on things when they were teaching me

I do not have this experience. I'm 11 weeks pregnant with my first and probably only. I'm 35 and I feel like I will be done after this as it took us a very long time to get here.

Anyhow, I think you will be ok. My MIL had three boys under five. She survived. LOL.

You will do great! You will learn how to deal with things.
