Anyone else have 2 a year apart?

stacey86

Just wondering if anyone else has two kids a year apart or will have two kids a year apart?  I have a daughter that is 7 1/2 months old ( was due Dec 23rd but i had her Dec 10th) and we are expecting baby number two ( find out the sex tomorrow) Dec. 26th.

Just wondering how you ladies felt or are feeling......im starting to have some anxiety, but i think its because my DH just started working out of town 3-4 days week.

Yes. My son was born 12/20 and my daughter came 1/11, so they are a year and 22 days apart.

During the pregnancy, it was definitely scary! I had a difficult time bonding with the pregnancy because of it. The reality of 2u2 was much easier than I anticipated in my head. I thought the pregnancy with an infant was much harder than having them both here. Now that we're 6 months in, it's pretty smooth sailing. Except that DD is starting to crawl and she steals her brother's toys which he is not a big fan of. LOL.

Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy! 2u2 is a lot of work, but so rewarding and fun.

Mine are 363 days apart. I had the whole gamut of emotions but when ds2 was dilue, I was ready. You'll be fine. There will be very stressful times but it gets easier week by week. My dh works A LOT and I've Just tried to keep a mainly positive attitude and do one day at a time.

My boys are a year and 3 weeks apart.  We are one month into it now and while it has had it's challenges, it is already getting easier. My DH works evenings/nights so sometimes it's really difficult.  And we are just starting to get our routine going again. DS1 loves his little brother already.

I will admit some days we watch a little more tv than I would like.  But I have to give myself grace on the days I'm exhausted.

My DD was born 8/6/10 and DS is due 10/23/11, so they will be a year and 2 months apart. While I have no experience for actually having two, the pregnancy part so far hasn't been too difficult! DD still naps 2xs a day and I'm able to rest on the days when I need to. She's still pretty light to carry and generally this pregnancy has been much easier than I expected having a 1yr old!

Ours will be 1 year 4 months apart. I have no idea what we're getting into, but I'm really excited!

Hey,  My boys are exactly 10 months a part to the day. I was freaked out at first but it's funny how things always work out.  We are just on tight schedules and it works great for us.  I am not having a 3rd one so I am very excited for the boys to have each other as friends, brothers and they will keep each other entertained.

I do! Mine are exactly a year and two weeks apart. I'm obv not very experienced since I'm just a week in...but so far so good! DD was a pretty good baby, but so far DS is SO much easier, its crazy. Its making me think maybe dd wasn't really an easy baby? I know he's only a week old, but dd was completely different. But anyway, you'll be fine! I'm learning it takes a lot of patience and creativity.

My sons 1st bday is august 14th... and Im due with my second on august 19th. Im definitely feeling anxious bc my husband is hardly ever around. Hes constantly gone for 2-3 weeks at a time... and only has 1-2 days off a month. Plus Im starting back full time for the fall semester on august 15th. (yeah... its a little crazy). I just dont want my first born feeling left out. And it makes me anxious thinking about feeding 2 children, double bathing and diaper duty... haha. Im scared to be honest.
