I think the thing that has crossed my mind the most this pregnancy is that I will have TWO one year olds when this baby is born. Actually, their first birthday is only 15 days before my due date! Anyone else have babies this close together? How close in age are your LOs?
Re: How close in age are your LOs?
Bless your hearts.. I'm not sure I would be able to handle a 1 year old and a newborn. Eeek! Are you ladies SAHMs?
It's funny that DH was adamant on them being 5 years apart and I said 3. Turns out that fate had other plans and I'm so excited that they will be close.
Just think..You know your biological children will have a whole lot to learn from your adopted children. Your biological children will have no idea what it's like to be neglected like that and your adopted children will have a lot to teach them. Such an amazing story! Go you! :x

We wanted to wait at least two years before trying for #2 since DS was born prematurely due to placental abruption, but there was a time when we thought we were one and done because the time we've spent just with DS has been incredible, and we knew things would drastically change. We decided in December that 2015 we wanted to go ahead and go for another do here we are, and super excited.
Edited to add: I'm so glad we have DS toilet trained because we have a friend who unexpectedly got pregnant with #2 while her DS was one and after her DD was born, DS refuses to evrn got to the restroom while her DD is now to and goes to the toilet.

DS1 and DS2 are 21 months apart. DS2 and DS3 are 18 months apart. DS3 turns 3 at the end of December. When this baby is born I will have a 6 year old, a 4 year old and almost 3 year old. This is my biggest gap between kids.
