What was it like with #2 kids ??

Question

I have a very full on child 3years an I'm 6 weeks pregnant I would love to here your story on how it was when u had your second child an what age there was between them.. thanks

Answer

My kids are exactly 4 years apart, the age gap has been nice so far :) I will say it’s definitely harder to go from zero to 1 than it is adjusting 1 to 2 kids! especially with a good gap in between. The hardest part is giving each their own undivided attention as the get older, especially if they have very different personalities. Other than that, things like shopping etc aren’t too much harder, you will adjust faster than having your first I think ♥️ also, seeing your kids build a bond is truly the best, I use to worry my child would feel left out

Answer

My first 2 ate 2 years apart, almost exactly. When second was born, first had no concept really. However, in the last 2 years, they have grown to love each other and play together wonderfully. The oldest, now 4 is teaching the youngest how to do things and youngest is like a little parrot who follows oldest around and mimics everything. They share well for their ages and they hate seeing one another get sad or upset. Overall, it's unbelievable heart warming to watch them together. (They do have their spats, but that's expected.)
Waiting on number 3 now, any day as I'm 38+3. Can't wait to see how this will rock their world.

Answer

My first was 21 months when I had my second and 3.5 when I had my third. My second was 21 months when I had my third. 
I found pregnancy with toddler/s difficult. But newborn+toddler/s to be much easier than the pregnancy because of the pregnancy fatigue. 
My first kid was mother hen with both brothers. Wanted to help with everything. Wanted to love on them and give hugs, kisses, talk to them- that kind of thing. 
My second one? Couldn't have recognized the new baby from a hole in the wall. He and my first were the same age upon becoming a big brother but reacted completely opposite. He could not have cared less about the baby at all.
