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 was worth it though ;p

Sorry! Have cut&pasted my reply above as managed to reply in the middle of the previous post :-/ Total iPhone fail

Nah, we only got together about a week before I got pregnant, tho we've known each other for about 8 years now! Getting pregnant was our first time and we got completely carried away, typically it was on a friday night before a bank holiday monday so was too late to take the MAP by the tie docs was open!

As much as I really, really hate myself for even thinking it, let alone saying it, I suggested a termination to him since we only just got together, but he convinced me to keep it and that we'd manage ok.. then changes his mind a few weeks later!
Tho I am still very glad I didn't get a termination, id have never forgiven myself, no matter how hard its gunna be!

Of course its Ok to think that way ~ You were in shock

Things will be Ok for you ~ Better to be a strong single mummy than be with someone who doesnt want to be there

We're all here for you

My son is 13 months now...I am not coping with the tiredness very well, especially since my husband works night shift and isn't much help with that. Sometimes I wonder why we let this happen again so soon but God has a plan for us!! It will all work out!

baby 2 and baby 3 are 12 months apart. was the easiest age gap. the baby still slept so i could sleep when she did, then once the younger one was born she was walking so we could play while i fed the baby.

Wow ~ Twins Congrats

How are you feeling about it all?

 

[Animaniacs]

My kids are 16 months apart (now 5 & 6) and they are great friends. I'm now having a third, but I love the close age gap between my kids. They play together all the time and it does get easier with time. We wer also in and out of diapers much quicker than people who spaced out their kids more. They are still in diapers with their second. Enjoy your babies!

Hello :wave:

I notice your two kiddies that are close together are a Boy & a Girl ~ Do you think they are just as close as if they were the same gender?

Yes, maybe they'd be even closer since they'd like the same girl/boy toys. But, as it is, they do play a lot together, as well as separate off once in a while. It's been fun watching them grow up. I just wanted to pop on an give some encouragement since I've been there! We're glad we planned them close. Actually, I'm a little worried about my 5+ year age gap with the new one, but the kids really want a baby and I'm sure it will all work out.

Excited, scared. I'm coping by reading lots and trying to prepare for it as best as I can.

I'm also really interested to see what double's people are looking at getting! the idea of pushing around a huge double buggy is freaking me out!

 

[you&me]

The one I mentioned above that I have ordered is a side by side double, suitable from newborn...and fits through a single doorway
