Announcing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's pregnant, so I am going

March.


Muchest Muchest Muchest Goood wishes to the coming bambina. I know nothing
about closer age spans. Sorry I can't be more help.

She wants to know from other moms what you think the
advantages are to having two children so close in age.
What are the good things you see about this spacing?

Her dd will be 20 months when the new baby is born.

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

I have 19 months between Mitchell and Matthew, and 25 months between
Matthew and Murray.

It is hard work, but the boys are close, they are great playmates,
there is no jealousy, they slept when i had a newborn....

Thank you. My first one is only a year old and we are being
blessed with another which is quite nice.

Well, since the first one doesn't sleep at all well, I hope she will
start sleeping through the night before the second is born.. g

That's fantastic.

you only asked for the good stuff eg so that was all i mentioned.

Mitchell did not start sleeping through the night until after he was
2. /raises eyebrows/ thats what dh's are for.

and with Matt, well we did the controlled comforting thing prior to
Murray being born.

Congrats grandma. :-)
There is 26 months between my two, and it is good. DD7 wasn't napping much,
but she did go to daycare a couple of days a week. You still have all things
you need, you haven't forgotten too much, the older can be helpful when
you're feeding, once the younger is moving they play together.

My kids are spaced further apart, but my mom always tells me closer
spacing is better because you get the early hard part over with
faster.

Yay! A little sibling for your grand-daughter!

I like it. My first two are 19 months apart and the second and third
are 22 months apart. I don't remember having any real trouble. The
biggest disadvantage I found was that I hadn't had a full night's
sleep in over 2 years when #2 was born, and that trying to breastfeed
is difficult when you are chasing down a toddler - but it can be done.
It really depends on S's personality type though, if she's laid back
about stuff and can entertain herself life will be much easier when #2
arrives.

Congratulations to your DIL, this is fantastic news Dorothy.
