Going from one baby to two?!

Question

Helloooo mamas of 2+ babies,
Soooo seriously considering adding to our family of 3, I have mega baby fever and hubby is ready whenever I am!!! Our son is 18 months, things are getting so great and we have a great routine with daycare and with both of us being back to work. Part of me really wants to bring another baby in to our home now but another (big) part of me is TERRIFIED of having two children. I can imagine it is HARD having a babe and a toddler. When i brush aside the baby fever and think about reality, daycare when I go back to work, finding that routine and balance I get so nervous. But I would love to see my little guy have a friend he LOVES babies and other kids. 
Tell me all about the good and bad of having another babe! What’s a good age gap?? Is it hard going from one to two? Tell me everything!

Answer

It's an adjustment adding the second but all worth it. They would be close enough in age to grow up together and they will always be best friends (even when they bicker and tattle on each other constantly). My oldest is now 12 and he is the best big brother to his little brothers and sisters (now there are five of them lol) and he would do anything to make them happy and is the only one who has been able to calm each of them down and make them laugh. Picture below is my 12 year old and his 7 month old baby sister

Answer

My son is two and I’m due any day now with number two. I can’t speak to the sibling experience yet but I can for the pregnancy experience 
The pregnancy itself has been easy what’s been tough is when I am in pain or tired I have a toddler to chase after. When my SPD is bad and my toddler is tantruming in public or needs to otherwise be picked up. It’s been hard bathing him dressing doing every day things with and for him. My energy is gone and physically I worry I’ll get hurt he will or the baby. 
BUT he talks about the baby all the time and I think and hope and pray when time comes he’s going to do great. I plan to get him a gift from his sister. 
I’m nervous too about giving both attention especially when it’s just me and my son. He’ll do half days at daycare but even so .. all I know is it’ll work out. It always does.

Answer

I have a 12 month old and just found out I’m pregnant again. I’m sure it will be tough, but I’m excited for them to be best friends.

Answer

I have an 18 month old son too, and I’m in my first cycle trying for a second baby. The thought of a newborn again is absolutely terrifying. We have to pay to have a sitter in our home, and that will cost more. We can do it, but it’s scary to think about. If I start overthinking it, I give myself anxiety. Lol. I didn’t know how we were going to do it with one, but we figured it out. And I’m sure it will be the same way with two. 😊
