How old is your other child? DD is 8 months. DS is 6 1/2
How old will your other child be when baby is due? ~17months
What are you most nervous about with 2u2? The lack of sleep with a newborn. The there isn't much of an age gap (My other 2 kids are 6 years apart.) Being pregnant with an baby since my last pregnancy was rough.
I'm popping in as well! My first two were 11months apart to the day! 2u1!! The two of them are 3&2 (they will be just shy of 4&3 when LO arrives) they both are boys and are seriously best friends. It's adorable how much they look out for one another! They have their moments of not wanting to share (prepare to buy two of most things!) I was scared of sleep but if you can get your older one on a schedule it won't be as scary as it seems, I promise!
Estimated 8+1 today. My daughter will be 12 days shy of turning 18 months when little one is born! Most nervous about moving. My BF and I will be together 9 years on our daughter's birthday, but he has a doing-to-be 13 and 15 yr old who are here on weekends. We have a 3 bedroom house and they each have their own rooms that they've had since they were born. They are a boy and a girl, can't make them share. So, my 10 month old and I share because we didn't get any offers on our house this past year. A crib and a queen sized bed in one room is tight. Now, we have another baby on the way which is amazing and wonderful, but we may have to share this room with both little ones if we can't get this house sold with enough profit to move. That's the only real stress for me. Other than that, totally excited!
liladelphia215 - I agree, I loved my 3 year gap between my kids (she could talk/walk/play by herself etc). I dont know how to handle two that will be so needy still.

What are you most nervous about with 2u2? I'm nervous about caring for a newborn with a 17 month old. I did and am still breastfeeding my first and I intend to breastfeed my second and I'm afraid I won't have time to focus on the new baby like I did with my first.
@Caileybug@AlexandraMarcotte I'm going through the same things. I don't want to tandem nurse and I was planning on weaning at a year anyway (DD is almost 10 months) so I plan on nursing for 2 months and then starting the weaning process.
I also breastfeed and pump and have noticed a drastic drop in my supply. In hindsight, it should've been a huge red flag, but my supply always dropped before my period anyway. But now I know!
