I was wondering how many people have 2U1. I just found out I am pregnant again--im guessing 8 wks bc I had only 1 pp period-- and I have a 3 month old. I was also wondering how difficult it is to have two LOs so close in age... TIA for any advice
I do, I don't really find it that hard. You guys will find your groove and everything will work out. Tips - get a double stroller. I use mine all the time. Also, don't convince yourself that you can't do things "because it'd be to hard". It's never as bad as you think it's going to be. DH and I haven't missed a step. We go out every weekend, take the kids shopping, out to eat, the pumpkin patch, the playground etc. If things get crazy, we leave. You will have moments that seem hard, but they pass and all in all it is so fun having babies close in age. Good Luck!
the first month or two can be hard but then it gets easier and even fun. We have two that are exactly 1 year apart. I still manage to go out to the store by myself w both kids and even do fun stuff like the zoo and dinner w friends.
My advise, never say no to help. I always have laundry that needs to be folded, groceries that need to be purchased and even dogs that need to be walked. So, if someone is able to do them for me or stay with the kids while I take care it of, I am open for it.
Baby carriers are awesome! Double strollers are handy and play dates are actually less stressful...they help tire my kids out for better naps.

I don't have 2U1 yet, but I will come July! I have gotten lots of wonderful feed back from other moms and older women about the whole idea.
Good luck and congratulations!
