Im 10w3d pregnant with my 2nd child also, my daughter just turned 6 and personally i think the age of 5 and older is perfect timing to have the 2nd because you have one in school instead of them both being home. Also a 5yr old is able to be a big help with the baby also and the fact that they are independent and able to do for themselves makes life easier compare to those that have a newborn with a toddler. Im nervous about going from 1 to 2 and having to care for another life but I cant wait. A lot of my friends and family have 2 kids and had them a lot closer together than I am and most found it to be more difficult but I really have a feeling that I will have it a lot easier than they did. At least this time you know what to expect and do and you are not a 1st time mom anymore so that has to be another advantage. Best of luck to you Im sure you will be fine!
Yea my son is soo independent, sometimes he gets mad if I try helping him w/things lol ...but thanx for ur advice, good luck to u too (:
Haha thats great im sure he will be a tremendous help to you once the baby comes, and Thanks Im sure this will be a very interesing experience for us both lol!
im 17weks n 2days too! this is my 3rd i think it gets easier...i wouldnt worry to much
