But I just had a baby!!!

Hello all... I just found out I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my 4th baby!!!  ( bless my hubby's super swimmers lol)  but I just had a baby 9 months ago!   My boys are 8, 6, and 9 months... How on earth am I going to pull this off??  I had no worries with my first 3 but for some reason this one is freaking me out.   Any one else have a baby and get pregnant again so soon?   I'm even scared to tell my doctor

Thanks mommas.   I also come from a big family with four older brothers ( my mom wouldn't quit until she had a girl)  we are very far apart in age though so I feel like I missed growing up with them.   My oldest brother is 20 years older than me and my closest brother is 6 years older than me.   I guess it's true that my older kids who are almost 3 years apart do fight all the time and with a 6 and 8 yr gap from them to my 9 month old,  they really don't pay the baby any attention.   So I guess this is the best thing... I guess I feel like well now my lo will have a sibling close in age to share things with... Hopefully all four of them can agree on a nice looney bin to send me to lol

I grew up in a family of 6 kids.   #2 and #3 are 15 months apart - just like your kids will be! They are super close and always have been. They have tons of inside jokes and rarely fought, even when they were little. Having a big family is the BEST way to grow up, and I think all my siblings would agree that it's even more fun when you're close in age :)

My first two are 8 and my second will be 4 on Monday and all they do is fight!!! Its very nerve wrecking and now my oldest whom is a boy wants so bad for me to have a boy because he says that he can't handle another Chloe, my daughter lol. Hopefully this 3rd one will take the tension off the two of them and they help me with the newest addition to the family. So believe me you all who are going bonkers from sibling fights all the time.... I know how u feel.

This is #5 for me! I'm 7.5 weeks and my son just turned 1 sat. My first 2 were only 15 months apart and I loved it. But I am nervous about having 5 kids

I love it when people have kids so close together. Mine have gaps 10, 6, 3 and im 9weeks pregnant now. The eldest 2 alwaus fight from they wake up till they go to sleep. Im fed up listening to myself goving out to them. I have friends with small gaps, completely different kids.... they play, yes they fight but not near as much as mine do. If i knew thwn what i know now id have all mine a year apart...
So dont worry, i tink this will b super for you! Your gonna have 2 best buddies!

Nice work! Im about 7 weeks with #2 and my son is just about 10 months. We were trying and it happened so fast so I am a little worried. Get yourself to the doc to make sure everyone is healthy!
