I have a 7, 2.5 year old, a 16 month old and am pregnant again. But, DD #1 was 4 months old when i got pregnant with her sister. Honestly, its hard but you will get into a routine and it gets better!
My oldest just turned 8. #2 will be 6 at the beginning of April. #3 will be 2 in December. We plan to be done after this.
As to how do you manage...you just do. I can't really explain it. You adjust your schedule, rework who is responsible for what chores, and as soon as you get it all figured out the baby enters a new phase and you get to start all over again. But somehow it works, because it has to.
You've heard "God won't give you more than you can handle". While I hate this when used in tragedies I do think it is appropriate for blessings. God won't give you a child too mischievous to handle with all your other blessings. You'll figure it out.
DS will be 2 years and 4 months when this baby is born - I am thrilled - I really wanted between 2 - 2 1/2 years.

Re: ST+M'S How far are your kids apart?
He just turned a year on 8/30 when I had my LMP! Go figure:)
DS2 and DS3 are 3 months shy of 3 years apart

Exact same for me! Son turned 1 on 8/8 which was the first day of my LMP too! I thought that was so weird but cool.
