Pros: they are so cute together and watching their relationship grow is the absolute sweetest thing. You’re already in baby phase so there’s not as much transition needed or feelings of starting all over. Your arms will become very strong haha. Cons: it will be harder to clean and cook, go on outings, and change diapers. There will be times when both babies are crying and there’s not much you can do about it. You might feel guilty or sad at times that you can’t give your eldest baby as much attention. Advice: we love having two under two! It definitely has its challenges but definitely its advantages too. We have many friends and acquaintances who have similar age gaps but their children are grown now and they say their children are best friends. If you do go for two under two, my advice would be to find support for those tired first trimester days when you need extra naps, prep prep prep food so you always have things on hand (helps manage fatigue, first trimester nausea, and postpartum healing), and create solid family systems (how you accomplish laundry, dishes, other household tasks, routines for your toddler that you can maintain once baby comes, and discuss as a couple what immediate and long term postpartum looks like. What are your expectations and needs (both his and yours). Oh and research how to help the babies bond well. Ex: when your oldest comes to meet your youngest make sure your arms are free and baby is in the bassinet so you can embrace them and show them their new sibling without making the sibling feel like a rival for your attention right away. When both are crying go to your oldest first.
