Anyone else having another baby?

I have an 8 month old with a 2 year 4 month age gap unplanned. TBH the adjustment was horrendous at the start but I think it’s more they were too young and was all about Mummy. I only have one day off as my oldest goes to their grannies but I go to a baby class, get lunch, do the food shop, make dinner and not long until they are back. 😅 I also had to potty train while EBFing my youngest, which wasn’t fun but thankfully passed that now.

The only thing that is working for me is getting out of the house every day or I would go crazy. 🙃 When one naps the other is full of beans. When I’m feeding my youngest my oldest likes to jump off furniture etc. 😅 I know some people with a 3 year old+ age gap and it’s went well.

I one 21 and the 23 I love it yes it isn't.easy but the bone the boys have is amazing I find being out and about easier then days at home but sometimes they chill together great fun and I want to ad another one to the mix I must be mental lol 😆

@Lesley yep that sounds tough. My LO has been potty trained since age 2 so luckily I don't have any of the nanny or bottles to worry about while taking care of a newborn haha.

It’s good you have all that sorted and are past major milestones. Thankfully as well my oldest had stopped breastfeeding at 20 months or I would have had additional stress. 🤣🙃 I have heard some 3+ year olds wanting to be more hands on helping their parents out instead of playing up as well. The age gap you will have is what I was hoping to have but I have no regrets now.

@Paula I’m in the same mindset but my husband is saying he’s done. 😅It’s hard going but so worth it.

I'm due in October with our second so will be just over 3 years ago gap. Have also done potty training etc. My lo is in nursery 4 days but increasing to 5 from October so I probably won't have them both by myself very often.

@Lesley I'm working on mine we have not long lost one early stages but I still kean to add one more to the mixer

Following 🥰 I've got a little girl that's 3 years old and pregnant with a boy this time 35weeks today x

@Jessica I'm 35 weeks tomorrow with a boy and have a 3 year old girl too 😁

I have a nearly 3 year old girl and a 9 week old boy. 3yo at childminders 4 days a week which is lovely, tbh I find mornings ok, bedtime is the hardest as I EBF my little boy but little girl is going through a phase of only mummy to do bedtime 😩 it is hard but we are gradually finding our routines in how it works for us. You will settle into your own rhythm eventually but just be prepared for a bumpy start. It is so wonderful though when my eldest gives her baby brother kisses on the head and says she loves him 🥰

I have a 3 year old girl (31st August), and a 10 month old boy (4th November). My daughter was 2 years 2 months when my son was born, I agree being out the house was easier than staying in. My daughter was very jealous but amazingly potty trained a month after he was born and ditched her dummy (she only had it for bed). We kept our daughter at nursery but reduced to 2 days a week to keep some routine for her.

I have a sept 21 baby and a feb 24 baby. Adjustment wise it wasn't too bad to be honest, however could be because I am very lucky to have a really easy baby and a pretty easy toddler all things considered

Nope!! One and done here!! Love my LG and wouldn't have it any other way, but I know my limits and another one would be way too much for me, personally. We may adopt when she's quite a bit older but definitely couldn't start all over again. I'd be too worried about the 2nd one being the total opposite to my LG, who is such a good girl and always slept well. You could say she was an easy baby and toddler, but still so very hard. Plus, my husband doesn't want anymore. In my heart I'd love to go through pregnancy and birth again and hold a newborn baby, there's so much I'd do differently but, in my head I know I wouldn't cope
