How far apart are your kids?

I am currently almost 33 weeks pregnant (due March 19th) and my daughter just turned 1 a week ago. I'm really nervous about how hard this is going to be! Anyone have kids that are 14 months apart? Was it hard?

I find the first six months with a baby are always hard, no matter how far apart they are. But they'll be playing together before you know it, and then you'll be glad they're so close together. My first two are 19 months apart, so not quite as close, but still had a lot of people telling me I was going to be busy.

8, 6, 4, 3 and 2.

Exactly two years minus one day for the first two.  21 months between second and third. 13 months between third and fourth. 13 months between forth and fifth.

27 months between my last and this new baby. That is approximately have not had baby yet.

My son will be four years and a few months old when his sibling arrives. We were hoping for our kids to be a bit closer in age but two miscarriages intervened last year that delayed us a bit. He's old enough now to be a big helper and to fully understand what it means to be a big brother so we're all excited for him to take on this new role.

Mine is 8 and I am due in May. She has been waiting and waiting to be a big sis.
But, my brother and I are exactly 15months apart, we were very close.
My mom had him excited that I was coming- I was 'his' baby. He was glad to step up to be the big boy brother for the helpless baby.
As long as you treat your older baby her age instead of making her grow up, then things should be smooth.

I have a nearly 2 yr old (birthday 17th feb) a nearly 3 yr old (birthday 20th march) so they are 11months apart and am 29wks pregnant tomorrow (due 16th april).
It was difficult and still is but hey we all get through it. Least they will have a very close relationship. Oh my nearly  2yr old still doesnt sleep through the night (2-3times after midnight) so it least i wont have to be sleep deprived lol cause i still already am haha i haven't had a great sleep in nearly 3yrs lol.
So next year i will have:
a 3yr old in February
A 4yr old in march
And a 1yr old in april
Im gonna be busy with birthdays for 3 months in a row lol.

Goodluck =)

Mine are 14 months apart and it was so lovely to watch them grow together. They are 7 and 8 now (another on the way) and they are so close. No regrets having them close together it was easier than I thought xx

16 & 11..

My first 2 are 5 yrs apart. No regrets really. I've always thought every child/parent should have enough time to spend with each other b4 another comes. Now I'm expecting my 3rd (due 3/12) but didn't want to wait this long to have him.. so I may have another 3 yrs from now God willing. Don't worry about the small stuff your a woman who's a strong mommy. If you can withstand pregnancy & its symptoms for 9+ months and delivery you can do ANYTHING!
