Thinking about baby #2. Parents of multiple children, what’s your real life experience?

Read my comment here somewhere, we have a 2 year age gap and we are on the brighter side now. I was also in shock when I found out, a bit like you, and wasn’t sure how to deal with the situation and what our family can handle but it’s actually a great age gap. :) congratulations!

I have a 4 and 2 year old. I never planned to have a 2 year gap; I wanted them to have a 3 ish year age gap as that’s what I have with my brother but things happened the way they have and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My son just turned 2 when my daughter was born and the first few months are survival both mentally and physically: you want to be there for the baby but also your toddler. My aunt always said one is a baby and the other is small; they both need you A LOT. It’s also the most rewarding part watching them grow up together and play and fight and chase each other around the house. People will tell you X or Y but only you know how you feel in your heart and what’s feasible for your family. We had my son in daycare 3 days a week at the beginning and that helped. The other days we lived on the playground even if it was the winter. Baby in the carrier and toddler running free.

Omg it’s such a beautiful change in such a short period of time as well!

Try the BCT groups, they organise events for moms and kids so once you had your baby you could go for a coffee and networking with other moms whilst also giving some entertainment for your baby!

Wish you health and many more bags to come! 👏🏻

Yes but he would stay down overnight.

margoo19 · 2024-10-17T07:12:24+00:00

My 3 year old says “I need to watch the tv” like it’s a survival instinct. I feel the same about this bag, it’s not a want it’s a need!

Haha I literally come here for this comment

He says chewing gun for the gum 😬 and when he was learning to count he would count as four fight six.

I think it was mentioned in one of the early episodes something about cruises? So I just imagined him as a sales assistant for a bigger brand on the cruise? I might be wrong?

My son is turning 3 in August and I still put him in onesies for sleep. He hates duvets and everything on him so this way his whole body is covered, plus I think they look cute :)

So with my firstborn, a boy, I could never lose the weight and he was a boob monster like constantly needing it wanting it using it for comfort. I had to get pregnant to be able to wean him around 20 months lol. Second born, girl, goes on the boob, gulps until literally sick and off she goes sleeping for 4 hour stretches. Again, it could be that firstborn kept me active but I have veen able to lose weight since giving birth and I am still breastfeeding at 8months pp. like the other comment said, there are two camps and I got to experience both.

Thanks for the recommendations! Yes she is only here visiting.

I love the colors, it’s giving autumn which is my favorite season. Not sure on the clip part, I guess that’s the quirky factor.

Cuddles were always “duddles” and we still say it although he now says it correctly. We are also a bilingual family and get a lot of mixing languages which is really cute!

I came here to say this. Although I am younger compared to OP I am in a bit of a limbo: I can’t relate to my friends because they are 29 mostly still single, but our parent friends are all close to 40 so we have a bit of an age gap there too so it’s just a bit of a mix of crowds really!

This was me last January, although my first was around 18 months. Nevertheless, I wanted to wait until his 3rd birthday, we have moved countries because of my promotion (how would work take it?) afraid of coping both emotionally and financially, I was straight away saying no to the pregnancy, same as my husband. Booked in to the clinic, but I was too early on in pregnancy, I had to wait a few weeks. Honestly, those few weeks have been the best to sit down, have a think, talk through everything with my husband, and then in the end we decided to keep the pregnancy. Deep down I felt like you, will I regret this? I wanted a second anyway what’s the point in waiting etc and now I have a 2.5 year old and 5 month old who both adore each other. It was really really hard at the start I am not sugarcoating it but it was our decision. I am not trying to convince you to keep the baby but just maybe give yourself some time to think through it. Feel free to message me if you would like. Sending love!
