Re: Introduce yourself!!
1. When are you due? July 31st
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 1 day shy of 16 months
3. What is planned? Reactions? Kind of...I wanted to wait until DD and DC would be 18 months but DH wanted to try long ago. We were not avoiding but we were not technically going to try for another 2 months. So it really wasn't a huge surprise.
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? so many but they seem so small. I want DD to get a lot of attention and if this baby is anything like she was I feel she will be be lacking the attention she needs.
1. November 13
2. 21 months
3. Planned, although we did not expect to get pregnant the first go around! Fear and excitement!
4.The chaos the first 6 months. After that I think things will settle and we will establish more of a routine. My DS is super easy and I hope we get lucky twice!! And labor too, knowing what to expect now kinda freaks me out!
I'm jenn
Due December 7th! Alek (my DS) will be 27 months when I deliver.
This time around it was totally unplanned and I am still trying to accept the fact that I am having another one. I can't say that I am thrilled yet, but I know I will love the new addition reguardless!
biggest fear- jealousy between the two of them especially with Alek right away and as they grow I hope I can ballance out the attention each of them get.
1. When are you due? scheduled c-sec June 22 (Just 20 more days!!!!!)
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 19 months
3. What is planned? Reactions? Planned! We have a lot of strikes against us so we never quit TTC after #1 was born.
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? The newborn phase and being sleep deprived while trying to give my DS enough attention still. But I'm planning to have lots of help so hopefully it will go okay.
1. Due 10/5
2. DS will be 20 months
3. Planned but happened faster than we thought it would. Reactions have ranged from "Good for you - get them out of the way" to "Oh my, you two are crazy"
4. This week - my fear is getting out of the house and going places just me and the two kiddos.
1. When are you due? 8/24/09

Hello all!
1. Due June 28th - DS born at 38w 5d so here's to hoping for another early arrival!
2. Son will be just about 17 months old
3. It was and was not planned (odd). I need to have a few "cervical" procedures done and we discussed trying to have another one just in case any complications came up. I guess we weren't against getting pregnant (although it happened very quickly)
4. That DS #1 will feel like he's been replaced. He's so young that he won't really understand and I hope that he knows he's still loved.

Hi...

We knew it could happen, of course, but did not think it would happen so soon. We were shocked.
My biggest fears: PPD; not having enough help the first three months
1. I am due November 16th
2. He will be almost 20 months
3. Yes, we thought it would take a couple of months to get pregnant and got lucky the first try. Couldnt be happier!
4. Having one outgoing ball of energy is tiring enough, now Im going to have two boys! Also my first had colic and Im praying for an easier newborn this time. LOL

4. Not getting enough sleep, not having enough time for both, DD getting jealous/not understanding.

3. Yes it was planned, everyone was shocked. We told our families we were waiting until the fall just in case we had trouble or had a miscarriage (which we did). One of my friends just told me to "keep my legs closed" lol
4. The lack of sleep, DS was and still is a horrible sleeper and I dont deal well with little sleep. I'm hoping that baby #2 will be a better sleeper, honestly, anything will be an improvement over DS.

4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? sleepless nights and that my DD's routine will be shot.
1. 8/11
2. Emma will be 15 alomost 16 months
3. Not planned. HUGE surprise. I was upset b/c of money issues & b/c i wasn't happy in the begining when I found out. With Emma, We were trying for a year to get pregnant & with this baby we weren't trying. I was really upset with myself that I wasn't happy. I was really scared & worried. Now. I am still scared & worried but I am excited too.
4. I worry that I will spend more time with the baby more then Emma or vice versa. I'm worried I won't be able to handle 2 babies. I worry that we won't be able to afford everything they need or want for the girls.
Hi, I'm Angie
1. Due 1/13/10
2. DD will be 23 months.

3. Not exactly. We went to the Bahamas and decided to leave it in god's hands. I guess he thought we were ready!?

1. When are you due? July 31
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 16 months (almost to the day)
3. What is planned? Reactions? We weren't avoiding but we weren't trying either. It took us awhile to conceive DS so we didn't think it would happen this fast. I was nursing and still didn't have a period so we weren't sure when this baby was conceived and got an ultrasound to confirm.
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? Lack of sleep from the newborn and not being able to nap when she is napping because my DS will be up and want to play. That and going to the grocery store.

1. When are you due? January 26
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 18 months
3. What is planned? Reactions? Planned? HA! Nothing! Shock, horror, excitement.
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? Not being able to devote enough time to each.
1. When are you due? July 6 and I am starting to freak
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 16 months
3. What is planned? Reactions? Not planned, but we were open to it. I will say we were surprised, me moreso than DH. I am 36 and DH is 39 so no one was really shocked
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? I keep trying to imagine what my daily life will be like and how I will be able to get anything done. DS is already starting the full-on tantrums
DS 3.12.08
DD 7.11.09
DD 8.01.13
1. When are you due? October 26 but will have a c-section the week prior.
2. How old with DC be with baby is born? 16 months
3. What is planned? Reactions? Definitely not planned. We were going to wait atleast another year. My first reaction was tears and "oh my god what did we do and what are we going to do?" But as it slowly sunk in for the week up to my first dr's appt we both became excited and now we wouldn't change it for anything.
4. What is your biggest fear about having two under two? Having the energy to keep up. DS is a terror with walking and climbing already so I am sure he won't be slowing down anytime soon. But we are excited to start making our family memories as this is it for us.
