Don't freak out, you have 8 months to adjust to the idea. I remember in the early days thinking about how happy I was that pregnancy was lengthy. Plenty of time to get used to the idea of having another LO.
Also, your baby will be TOTALLY different in 8 months. Much more toddler-ish than baby-ish. Whether that is "easier", I don't know. But I remember when I found out I was pregnant, my DD was 8 months old. I seriously couldn't wrap my brain around it. And by the time my DS was born, she was much more "grown up" if that makes sense?? Still a baby, but it felt more normal .

Congrats my middle was 9 months when I got pregnant with my third. I was VERY freaked out but it hasn't been so bad. There's hard moments but theres also amazing moments. Gl

BFP #1:10/31/10 DS born 6/22/11BFP #3:4/24/12 DD born 12/31/12
mine were 19mo apart. I don't know any other way, but I think it was easier to have 2 in diapers together.
