Mine are a little farther apart, about 20 months. It was really tough for the first 2 years, but my youngest child is strong willed lol. I used to think whoever said two years age difference is the best was clearly psychotic. However now my girls are 6 and 4 and it couldn't be more perfect. They wear the same size clothes and shoes which is awesome, and they are best friends. It is wonderful now, I love the age difference. I'm due with my third in nov, so there will be 5 years in between this one and my youngest, I kind of wish I would have had him 2 years ago so they could be closer, I feel like I'm starting all over again, but its gonna be fun for sure.

Sorry i meant a 7 month old baby girl. That would be some sort of miracle if she was only a month old right? Jaja

I have a month old beautiful baby girl and 10+5 pregnant with my second. Im a lil older at 25. But i wanted to have 2 kids very close in age. It may be harder. But not impossible. And with the support of my boyfriend i know we will be just fine and so will you

Hi im 20 i have a lil girl whos 4 a lil boy thats 2 in 5week and im 32+2 with my third, i dont waste time ha ha, i was like this wen pregnant with my 2nd very worried how id cope as every1 was saying how hard its going to be!!! But in my own experiance its not much harder than having 1 the only thing i think is harder is going out on my own with them as u have double buggy which doesnt fit thru doors escalators etc but my partner helps wen hes finished work with that ,but other than that its brilliant they play together look out 4 each other & most of all never get lonely ! I wouldnt change the age gap between them im so glad i had them close together.

I can't tell you how it will be just yet, I have a 9 month old and I'm 34+1 today. My daughter started crawling last weekend and things have gotten tougher. I have been worrying more lately as everyone is telling me how hard its going to be. I know there are others out there who have done it so we can too! :-)
