How old is your other child? Children? My daughter is 13 months old.
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 22 months?
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? My daughter is a non-sleeper, so I'm not certain I'll survive those first few weeks. I'm so excited to have them be close in age.
How old is your other child? Holden is almost 11 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? He'll be around 18-19m when nugget is born
What are you most nervous about/excited about having 2u2? I'm so nervous because I will be having a RCS and with at toddler I'm just nervous about dealing with him running around while I'm healing. And then the next 18 years. He's only 11mo and he's already walking so I'm probably screwed....
I'm nervous about the sleeping thing too. Holden is such a good sleeper (except naps some days) at night that I'm worried he will start NOT sleeping....ugh. That would drive me crazy.
How old is your other child? Children? 2 sons. 16 year old and 16 mos old.(they are 15 years and 3 days apart.....)
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 17 and 2.will prob give birth the week of both their bdays (July 24&27th) What are you most nervous about with 2u2? Hoping to have the lil guy potty trained and the older guy his license(he's too busy with sports to get it so far lol)super nervous about taking lil guy and new baby out in public by myself to run errands etc and I don't want either boy to feel pushed aside (esp the lil one since he won't really understand )
How old is your other child? Children? My son will be 13 months tomorrow.
How old will your other child be when baby is due? He will be 22 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I am nervous about the two of them sleeping and about taking them both out in public the first few times, alone and being home alone at first with the two of them. My biggest concern is my older son not getting my full attention. He has been my whole world since he was born and I am scared for that to change.
How old is your other child? Children? 15 months How old will your other child be when baby is due? 23 months What are you most nervous about with 2u2? Even though I will not have 2 u 2 for long, I am not yet sure how I will care for two at a time with how demanding my 15 month old is currently. Hopefully he will become a bit more independent by the time number 2 arrives. I would also like to avoid buying a second crib but not sure if that is possible.
My son turns 2 on October 11 so he will be 22 months old.
My husband and I are most worried about sleep. Will they nap at the same time? Will one crying wake the other even if they aren't in the same room? Also we are nervous about not putting one before the other. It's easy to put our son first now, but what about when the 2 kids needs can't be taken care of at the same time? Which one had to wait?
How far along are you? 5+4. Surprise pregnancy as we have struggled with infertility and we're going to start IVF in new year.
How old is your other child? Children? DD just turned 10 months.
How old will your other child be when baby is due? ~18
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? Feel like a just got in the groove with my first and now we need to find a new normal. I worry we won't get enough special one on one time
I am so glad someone started this thread!!! I am nervous and excited about having them so close in age. I can't wait to hear stories from other moms that will be having or have 2 under 2.
How far along are you? 5w4d
How old is your other child? Children? 10 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? ~18 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I'm most nervous about the sleep schedule. If they are both waking up through the night at different times or if the nap schedules are so different that it throws them off. I'm also nervous I won't be able to split my attention 50-50. I want them both to feel loved and I especially don't want my oldest to resent her sibling.
Girls! Just popped in to say my first two are 2u2 (16 months apart). They are 5 and 4 now and it is the BEST!! They are BFFs and developmentally very similar so they entertain each other. Sure it's a bit stressful at first but it's the best decision I ever made.
How old is your other child? Children? DS is 7, DD1 is 2.5, DD2 is 13 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 21 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I had 2u2 with DD1 and DD2 so honestly, I'm not nervous. The first few months are hard, but with a newborn its hard anyways.
How old is your other child? Children? DS-7 years DD- 1 year How old will your other child be when baby is due? DS- 8 years DD- 21 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? My one year old is very rough and tumble thanks to her big bro. I am concerned about her trying to be rough with the baby... I think she will be fine, but it is a concern. She also still won't sleep through the night so I am worried that I will never sleep . I am super excited for #3 though!!
Hey mamas! This was exactly the board I went looking for when I joined the Aug 2016 group, and I'm so glad there are a few of us out there.
I am 6w 2d pregnant.
Our daughter is only 5 months, so as you can imagine, my husband and I were quite surprised when my period didn't come this month.
She will be 13 months when this little one makes his/her debut.
I'm currently in the 3rd year of my doctorate, with another 2 years to go after this. Having our first was a huge blessing, but has definitely taken some juggling as I complete classes and see clients in our school clinic. I'm not sure what having a 2nd blessing will bring, in terms of being a full time mommy and student, but I'm praying that I'll be able to continue to juggle both.
Having a very loving community of supporters has been helpful, but my husband goes on internship next year and so we may have to move for 12 months so he can complete his doctorate.
How old is your other child? Children? my DD will be 16 months on Christmas
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 23 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I am most nervous about her birthday I know this sounds silly but I can't help not thinking about it. I really wanted to be due after her 2nd birthday that way she could have 1 more day of just her. now her birthday will with a 3-4 week old. I remember how I was at that point and I fear her birthday wont be special. ( pregnancy hormones much)
How far along are you?4w5d
How old is your other child? Children?

How old will your other child be when baby is due?

Hopefully he will become a bit more independent by the time number 2 arrives. I would also like to avoid buying a second crib but not sure if that is possible.
@Morgan400 I also do not think I will be able to get away with not buying a 2nd crib. my DD loves her crib and is all over the place when she sleeps. When was your LO born my DD was August 25th 2014, sounds like we are in similar situations
@mumblefrog86 My DS was born on August 28th, so a very similar situation. Not sure what I will do with the birthday party this year, probably have it a month earlier or a month late. In the future I totally plan to celebrate with one party, at least until they are old enough to care.
My LO turns 2 a couple days before my expected due date! I'm excited to have them close together but am hoping my LO is much more verbal then he is now!
How old is your other child? Children? DD is 14 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 22 months, so I won't have 2u2 long but it'll still be hard
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? DD was a really easy baby, she's a little needy but she sleeps great and eats anything so I worry that next baby will be difficult. I'm super excited to have kids so close in age, DD doesn't have any friends so siblings will be good!
How old is your other child? Children? My daughter is 13 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 22 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? Sharing the attention and love between a newborn and toddler. Also, I'll be a scheduled c-section, so not being able to pick up my daughter will be upsetting for both of us.
They will be exactly 2 years apart. I'm due 2 weeks after my sons birthday)
I'm most nervous about keeping it all together. I suffer from ppd, ppa, and general anxiety... I'm worried about being able to handle everything. I work full time and I can not afford to be a sahm... So once baby comes I will still be working (after my 10 weeks off). My schedule will be all over the place (days and nights) and im just having major anxiety over wondering if I'll be okay (mentally)... With a newborn baby, a toddler (in the terrible 2s) and a soon to be tween girl who needs help with homework and projects and has dance classes and play dates... I also have a puppy and 2 cats and a new house to keep. Finances are also tight... Bc we JUST bought a home... Thank god my husband is very hands on but he also works 6 days a week... So it's gonna be very tough in the beginning and im just hoping we can weather the storm...
This is going to be my second set of 2u2 DS2 will be 20 or 21 months once this baby is born. I transitioned well with 2u2, but I also utilized things like baby wearing. This kept DS2 comfortable, while I still chased after my then 18 month old. It is a challenge, but one year later I love the age gap. They are becoming such good friends. I how my three little ones are super close since their age gaps aren't that big.
How old is your other child? Children? DD is almost 15 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? DD will be about 22.5 months on due date
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? We are very lucky that DD was a great baby and sleeps very well, but now she's a very independent ball of energy! I worry how I will manage a wild toddler and a newborn when I'm alone (which should not be often). I also worry about how I will make sure I give them both proper attention.
How old is your other child? Children? 13, 10 and 1
How old will your other child be when baby is due? she will be 20 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I am more nervous about the first two months, and adjusting to the sleep schedule.. not being able to nap when newborn is napping in the day cause of my 20 month old energy.. I know we all learn and adjust.. but the beginning is what I am scared about. but also excited!
How old will your other child be when baby is due? He will be 15 months! Ahhh!
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I'm nursing DS and I don't want to tandem nurse but I'm so nervous about weaning him off before new baby bug arrives. I love nursing and he LOVES nursing lol. Nighttime is a scary thought also. My hubby works out of province for 16 days of the month so I'm alone a lot. I manage fine now with DS and our dog but a newborn will definitely make it more tiring!!! Hopefully since I'm back in the game so quickly it'll be a piece of cake lol (I'm dreaming)
How old is your other child? Children? DD will be 14 mo in a couple days
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 22 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? DD is a great sleeper at night but requires a lot of time and attention to get down for naps. Also, she is very social but can come on a little strong to other babies/kids. Tons of energy so I know my hands will be full.
@Caileybug Yay! I'm excited another mommy is in the same boat, with one baby under 12mo. I have very similar concerns - especially since I've already seen some of my milk supply drop
How old is your other child? Children? She will be 11 months in 4 days
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 19 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I'm nervous about DD1 adjusting to having a sibling as well as DH and how much help he'll be. But on the other hand, I feel like I have done a pretty good job with DD1 and that this LO will be much simpler now that I know what I'm doing haha.
@Caileybug Yay! I'm excited another mommy is in the same boat, with one baby under 12mo. I have very similar concerns - especially since I've already seen some of my milk supply drop
Really?! How do you know it's dropped?? I'm so nervous for that too!!! How old is your LO now? Glad to hear I'm not alone!
How old is your other child? DS will be 15 months on the 24th
How old will your other child be when baby is due? ~23 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? The lack of sleep with a newborn and still needing to have patience with a toddler who is going to be extremely jealous of a newborn
@Caileybug I pump and breast feed, and can see the supply has gone down when I pump. But I've also been stressed lately (just finished finals for grad school) so I'm not sure if that may also be aggravating it.
Our LO is 5 months, and full of life! She just sprouted her first tooth last week and is starting to roll around. And she's still so little!! (Needless to say I was shocked when I missed my period haha.)
How old is your other child? Children? 11 months and 4 years (5 in Feb)
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 19 months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? The general craziness. We are a very on-the-go family and I'm not sure how I'll handle 3. Luckily DD can handle herself pretty well, but I loved the 4 year age difference... loved loved loved. Not sure how I'll handle two that don't know how to use words yet LOL.
How old is your other child? Children? 5 1/2 months
How old will your other child be when baby is due? 13-14 months
What
are you most nervous about with 2u2? Very nervous about having them so close together. I never dreamed it would happen again so soon since I have battled infertility for years. I was told I would never have one without some type of intervention and now I'm on number 2!
I am most nervous about how exhausted DH and I will be and how we are going to juggle jobs, kids and life in general. We also need to move between now and August, so there's that.
@smurphy7 Congratulations! Our LO is the same age as yours, so I'm right there with you - I had no expectations of getting pregnant again so soon. Thankful to see another mommy with a really young one!
