Please tell me...

How you have kept your sanity with 2 under 2? I'm pregnant with #2, and #1 is only 3 months old. He is still quite the angel for now, but I am fully expecting the worse.

    You really need to take it one day at a time and not expect anything. I got pregnant when LO was 3.5 months. I just daily told myself that I could do this. You can do this. It's been a long year but overall it's been awesome. Just today, my children entertained each other for over 40 minutes. I realized what a huge benefit it is to have them close together. For me, the hard part is when the are both crying. You'll learn quickly how to keep them both calm. Also, you are just learning things for the first time and by the time the new baby is here, you'll be an expert at babies. Also your LO will be so different and so much less of a baby.

    ill let you know if I have been institutionalized before the end of year 1.  Seriously though it is hard, but it is definitely doable.  I get very tired sometimes, and other times I can handle a lot.  My house is sometimes a complete mess, and sometimes it isnt.  Laundry...well laundry is a neverending battle.

    You will be fine!  My mom had two under one and she actually found it easier then mine being 18 months apart.  She watches me and she can't believe how much more difficult it is. 

    It is a lot of fun too! 

    congratulations to you!

    Making time for myself away from the kids is kind of crucial to me keeping me sane. Even if it's just for an hour (which it often is!) while I go work out, it helps immensely! Im not going to lie, it is hard, really hard BUT its really fun too:) I think you just need to prepare for a really difficult few months but then it does get easier, then harder, then easier again! You will be fine!!!

    i agree with poppy...take it one day at a time. My kids arent that close in age, but I imagined it harder than it really is. Of course I have bad days, but they are not often. Congrats! 

    PS- poppy I remember when you first found out you were pregnant, I am so happy things are going well for you. ;)
