2 Under 2?

Question

Anyone here have 2 under 2? My son is 9 months old and I found out earlier this month that I’m pregnant again. I’m a little scared about having two kids so young. I’m happy they’ll be close in age, however. Just nervous. Any advice/tips?
(Please no judgement - I am perfectly aware that my own actions led up to this. Lol)

Answer

You will have the exact age gap as mine. I have a 20 month old and a 2 month old. 
Advice...
- Make sure you have some toys or TV set up in the morning for when you get sick so toddler isn’t watching you sick up your guts in the toilet
 
- cook your meals for lunch and dinner in the morning so you aren’t too tired to do it later and you won’t be tempted to get unhealthy food
- make sure you get older child’s sleep routine in place months in advance of new baby being born so you aren’t having to sleep train your oldest when they’re feeling insecure about new baby
- buy a gift from new baby to older kid that they really want so that they don’t feel left out when new kid is born
- plan your hospital stay in advance so you know who you’re trusting with your first child so that you don’t worry about it when you’re really pregnant and hormonal
- cook and freeze some batches of meals so you don’t have to cook the first week you’re home
- as your big kid grows out of their clothes, bag them into sizes and write the sizes clearly 
- think about getting a wardrobe you can fit 2 sets of clothes in and get some tags so you can clearly see the sizes 
- if anyone asks you what you need for baby ask for nappies and wipes! You already have a tonne of clothes from big kid
- buy a book about becoming an older sibling and read it to big kid for a couple of months before baby comes
- buy a family calendar if you don’t already have one so your baby brain doesn’t make you forget baby classes and health appointments
you’re in for one hell of a ride, but a much simpler birth this time round!
My first was 46 hours, my second was 2!
Congratulations love 🎉🎉

Girl you got this!!! I had two under 1 while it was very hard trying to take care of a baby toddler while being pregnant you can do it! And it’s amazing because your kids will grow up with a permanent best friend! :) you got got this mama it’s really not as hard as you would think! I actually prefer it

Answer

I’m having my second in February. My daughter won’t be 2 until May so I’ll have 2 under 2 for a few months. I’m kinda nervous but everything is just for a time. They’ll grow up before you know it.
