I speak from experience! My boys, now 7 & 6 were born 16 months apart. Yes, you will be exhausted, yes you will spend what feels like a lifetime surrounded by nappies and bottles BUT, they are now so close! It really is true, they will be friends for life. Sure, they have the odd spat now and again & drive me nuts; but after having the same thoughts about whether the oldest was losing out on infancy and would resent the youngest, I can honestly say it all works out! Eldest refused to address the youngest as anything other than 'baby' for the first 3 months, lol. I even started an undergraduate degree when youngest was 10 weeks so I had mixed emotions about that too, but now having been through it all, it really does work out like people say - so hang in there! Incidentally, neither of them know yet about their impending sibling, but again, at least they have each other to go through it all with
Happy to help! Not sure about the different gender thing being an issue, I'm sure it certainly helped that they were both boys & into the same things but that's only been my experience. Hopefully someone who has had a girl & boy close together will get in touch soon
Also, sorry for the delayed response! Had youngests birthday party today so have been scurrying around sorting things for that. Hope you are well, I am currently suffering from a bout of self induced indigestion - it though
Aww ~ Thankyou for that lovely post That was just what the Doctor ordered
Im so glad your Boys are so close I do wonder if this new LO is a Boy if my DD will be so close, rather than if it is another Girl?
