I have a 9 year old boy and a 6 year old boy, they are so excited about our new baby, they can't wait. I am glad we waited till they were a bit older even though they are several years apart...

I have an eleven year old stepson (DH has full custody), had a late term loss in '04, and my handsome little man who will be two next month! Hoping for my girl, but if it's another boy, I am blessed with boys!
Yep! I have an 8 year old daughter, a six year old daughter and a son who will be three in April. Having the girls close together (22 months apart) was tough for the first year, but you get through it. They are best friends and now I wouldn't have it any other way. BUT I will say that having almost 4 years between #2 and #3 was SO MUCH EASIER. The girls would go off and play together for long chunks of time and it was like having only one child to take care off - that was awesome when he was a baby! Now the girls are both in school all day and I get to spend that time with just my boy. #4 will come at a good time, too. My son will start preschool two mornings a week this fall so I'll have a little time with just the baby.
I have a 5 year old girl and 3 (almost 4) year old boy! I also had a loss last year and excited to have a healthy pregnancy thus far I think that this time it will be an easier transition to #3 then it was to #2. #1 and #2 were so close together it was hard handling it all. But my kids now are more independent and can do almost everything with very little help. And my daughter will be 6 when the baby is born so hoping she will be a big help
Re: Any moms of 2 or more?
Me! I have an almost 16 month old
I'm a little terrified of having two so close in age! Due w/ #2 on 7/9/12.
I have a 2 year old (3 in April), a one year old, and this baby is due in July.
I am pretty sure these next few years are going to be a blur!
