Pregnant…

Just to offer a different perspective - any child other than the first born wouldn’t have any alone time with you without another child :) I’m the youngest of 4 and 16 months is the age gap between my oldest two siblings. Then there’s 2 years between the rest of us. Besides thinking my mum is a superhero lol! I had such a fun childhood with all those siblings and I think it really is fun for them when they’re so close in age. I’ve heard 2 under 2 can be a struggle but you’ve got this!! And when they start playing with each other I think you’ll be so happy ❤️

mama i felt exactly like you, i actually cried when i found out i was pregnant around 4 months postpartum. i remember the first words i said was “this is unfair on aurora”(ny daughters name). my girls have a 13 month age gap, and i confirm that it is the best thing in the entire world. God truly knew what He was doing. they are the bestest of friends, and i can’t imagine them not having each other, and neither can they. they are literally intertwined. we welcomed my son this year, who is 2 years & 7 months apart from my second and again, the best thing in the world. 2 under 2 was honestly the best thing ever because you don’t really do much different, as in you’re kind of already used to the lack of sleep, the feedings, the nappies etc. the close ages mean everything just feels inclusive so quickly. was also the best being pregnant with my 2nd as my first kept me healthy and active xx

I have a 2 year old & 8 month old, they’re 17 months apart. I had these EXACT feelings when I was pregnant the second time. Now that they’re both here.. I don’t worry about it AT ALL. We have our alone time & he also really loves being a brother. Totally worth it.. please don’t feel guilty, it all works out beautifully in the end, I promise.
