Hi ladies,

Congrats! Mine are 18.5 months apart. It's awesome. My girls LOVE each other so much and luckily, my oldest DD showed very little jealousy. It's a lot of work getting in and out of the house but it's doable. It's great bc they both nap at the same time so every afternoon I get a 2 hr break. Sure some nights are exhausting when the older one had a bad night and the younger one wakes up for whatever reason but those bad nights didn't happen that often. And I hit to reuse sooo much stuff. They even play with Some of the same toys now. Enjoy!

@michelle7482‌ 2 hour nap! That sounds amazing! I'm hoping I have another boy so we can reuse a lot. Although it would be nice to have one of each! The only thing that stinks is this will be a winter baby so the clothes wont really work

Thanks everyone! I was/am still nursing but a supply drop was the only clue I had to this little surprise! Went to the ob yesterday and found out we are around 5-6 weeks, but no due date until she can get a better reading at the 8 week ultrasound

I thought the same thing bc Mine are opposite seasons too but DD1 is petite and DD2 is a chunker so DD2 has been able to wear a lot of the DD1 clothes. It's worked out well for us so you never know!

I've now done 2u2 twice. It's amazing and I absolutely love it! I am sad that we will (most likely) never get to do it again.

J. is 18 months older than A., and she is 18 months older than S. 

Like a pp, my life revolves around getting naps to coincide so I get a break (I am a SAHM). For me, that's huge. Days when there is no break are hard. However, I know other 2u2 moms who try to make sure naps don't overlap. They like having one-on-one time with each kiddo. So, like everything else, you will find what works for you.

If you didn't don't BW, I highly recommend looking into it for this next LO. I love a mei tai for the NB stage and our Boba for when they get too heavy in that. 

We talked about the baby a lot while pregnant. And ways in which the older child could help. Our transitions from 1-2 and 2-3 have been a breeze. (Much easier than 0-1.)

When I nurse, I do so on the couch so the older sibs can sit next to us and I read...a lot. Thank goodness for library cards. (We don't have a TV, so that's not an option for us.)

Oh, and congrats!

I am so excited for you! Congratulations!

Thanks so much for the advice @barnwife‌ ! It seems like everyone I've talked to that's had two under two loved it!

Congrats!! My two will be 14 months apart. Surely it will be somewhat crazy, but I can't wait to see them together!

ZKLBM0618

Yes! Me too! Just found out a few weeks ago. ETA February 2015! What about you??

Congrats ladies!!

@ZKLBM0618‌ congratulations! Since I was nursing and never got my period back I wasn't sure how far along I was (and I was secretly hoping I breezed through a lot of the first tri). They did an ultrasound which put me at 5-6 weeks but the doctor wasn't comfortable giving me a solid due date since the baby is still so small and hard to measure. She did say that it'll more than likely be the tail end of February! I will have a solid due date in about two weeks though

Congratulations!  You're sparking some serious baby fever in me

congrats!!!  Mine are 17 months apart and I do love it but the first 6 months were a little bit rough.  Just FYI  not to be a debbie downer  just be prepared for it to be tough at first and progressively get easier.  GL!!
