Baby #2 with baby #1 under one

Anyone have their kids close together? Love it? Wish you would have waited? Biggest struggles? Just found out I am expecting #2 and #1 is 7 months old!

I had my first two close together and I wouldn't of changed that for the world.  They are very close my oldest is a girl.  My third is 5.5 yrs younger then the middle one and its so much harder because their is such a big age gap.

My girls were born 17 months apart...it seems like you won't know how to balance them both but you will. I actually found it was easier having them close together because you kinda get everything at one time lol. My girls are 7 &8 now, I have a 16 month old son and am 21 weeks with this little one. As scary as it seems to have them back to back, it in a way was easier. I'm lucky now too with my girls being older they help, and enjoy helping. When my second was born, I let my oldest help with little things...grabbing diapers or wipes, wiping her sisters face if she spit up...if they feel included things go smoother. Just like now...they feel included, we kept them up to date on the babies size with both pregnancies, they like to go to appts to hear the heartbeat, they love to help feed their brother now, get him snacks, fill his cup...little stuff.

I am 29 weeks pregnant and I have a 15 month old. Right now I'm transitioning her from her crib to a toddler bed. She basically still a baby so I know it's going to be hard especially by her not being potty trained so I'll be buying 2 sets of diapers and since she's too young to understand I'm scared maybe she'll hit the baby or think she's a baby doll. Hopefully it's not as bad as I think though.
