2 under 2

Happy Monday ladies! Any ladies have experience with two under two? Or going to in February?

When LO arrives DS will be 18 months.

Re: 2 under 2

  • DD will be 21.5 months when this one comes. I'm a little terrified.

  • DD and DS1 are 21 months apart, DS1 and DS2 are 21 months apart, and DS2 and DS3 are 23 months apart. This baby will be 24 months younger. It can definitely be crazy some times, but it is fun having them close and they play well together. Good luck with your pregnancy! My sister has 2 kids 18 month apart, a girl and a boy, and they are really close.

  • DD will be 18 months when number 2 comes. She's already quite a handful so I'm hoping for the best.
  • DS and DD are 19.5 months a part, and I LOVE their age difference. If our third could have been just as close (without going completely insane) we would have done it. But DS and baby3 will be 24 months a part. 

    But now that DD and DS are 3 and 16.5 months, it is so wonderful and such a joy. They're close enough that my older one loves playing with and involving his sister, and she is adores her brother. She follows him everywhere, wants to do what he's doing... it's the sweetest thing. 2U2 wasn't near the "nightmare" media had made it out to be. Challenging sometimes? Yeah! But I think it's great.

    In my family we were all two years apart. I'm excited to have this LO be two years younger than my DD.

  • No, two under 3 and that scares me. X_X

    Mom of one adorable little boy and excited to do this again.

  • Mine will be 2 years 3 months apart so I'll have 3 under 3! I guess technically I have 2 under 2 now since I have twins but it's a little different! I'll be interesting to see how it goes with a newborn and two 2 year olds!

    If your twins are anything like my 2 year old twins...you're in for a wild ride! I hear age 3 is worse than 2 but I'm trying to figure out how that could be possible lol I'm anxious for 3u3 but am glad I have a few months to mentally prepare myself haha!

  • We will barely make the 2 under 2. Right now we have a three year spacing between all of the kids and knew we wanted our last to be a little closer.

    Ya Ive heard that too! My mom kept telling me you'd better have another one before they turn three or you might change your mind! Hopefully its not too bad hah!

  • When this one is due mine will be 15 months apart. I'm sure it'll be hard with 2u2 bit in some ways easier too. All age differences have their pros and cons. Just have to look at it from the silver lining or you'll drive yourself crazy.
  • My first two were 21 months apart, these will be 19. I love the close ages:) it's challenging, but I feel like it's a great thing.

  • I had 2U2 and while I freaked out about it, it was not near as difficult as I thought it might be.  In fact, I love that age gap now that they are older and we are thinking about #4 being about 20 months or so apart from #3.

  • My son will be 22 months when the next one comes.  I was hoping they would be closer together, but it didn't work out that way.  My granparents had 4 girls in 5 years.  My grandmother always said it was challenging, but nice.  She wished she had four more, lol.  So I'm excited.  I do think it will be harder when they are younger, but I think it's so much nicer as they get older.

  • My daughter and this baby will be 18 months apart. I don't have any experience with 2 under 2 because my other kids are older. My kids are 8,4 and 10 months. My DH is a little nervous about it but I think we just need to take it day by day once the baby comes.
  • My LO's will be 14 months apart when this one is due! I am the oldest of 4 in 4.5 years, and my husband is the youngest of 3 in 4 years, so we are very excited to be following suit. Both sets of parents have said that it's challenging for the first few years, but becomes much easier.
  • When this one is born my daughter will be.2 years one month.

  • I am very happy we got pregnant again. My DS will be 19 months when this one is due. I would have liked them closer, but we had an emergency c section with him and doc recommended waiting 12 months. We almost made it ....
