I just wanted to say congratulations. I don't have kids with the

same spacing. Mine are 6, 4 on November 1 and 20 months. I think

you will have lots of fun and the kids will probably be very close.

Jillian, my 2 oldest girls are 21 months apart, and it has great for

us. No we weren't trying either, but you know " manure happens " .

Enjoy your time with Sasha and she will be at a great age to help

with getting diapers, making silly faces, etc. You'll be fine.

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congratulations! It will be interesting for sure but it will all

turn out and I bet they will be really good playmates for each

other. And if you think 15 months is close..... my husband and his

brother are the same age for 11 days of the year! hehehe

Jillian - I so know where you are coming from! I had my first son in

March 2002 ab=nd found out I was pregnant in August of 2002 and

Xavier was born on April 1 2003 so my boys are 12 months and 2 weeks

apart! When Xavier first came home it was very tiering getting up

with a newborn all nigth and then a toddler at 7 am but now that

Xavier is 6 months old things are startingt o calm down a bit, though

some days are still hectic. I am very lucky that both of my kids are

pretty good. I am just now getting brave enought to go anywhere with

both of them - its not easy with an 18 and a 6 month old! There is

never a dull moment around here though -lol! Congrats!!!

Congratulations Jillian! How exciting.

I have 6 kids they're aren't as close in age as yours will be, but I

just wanted to tell you not to worry. Things have a way of just

falling into place.

Jillian--I only have one child, but wanted to let you know that one

of my good friends was 14 mos younger than her brother and they had

such a good relationship growing up that she immediately started

trying for her second 6 weeks after her first was born--even after a

terribly difficult pregnancy and delivery. Congratulations!!

Jillian,

Congratulations! I'm not able to post much on this list, but I knew

that I had to respond to your post! When my oldest was 4 years old,

I gave birth to our 4 child. Yep - I had 4 children ages 4 and

under. (Believe it or not, I also had 2 miscarriages in there too.)

My 1st and 2nd are 13 months apart, and my 2nd and 3rd are 14 months

apart.

Don't worry - you will do great! I love that our children are so

close in age. They are the best of friends!! For us, a schedule has

been a life saver! It helps me make sure that my attention is being

used the best way it can, and my children love it too.

Let me know any questions that you might have!!

God Bless,

in KY

Jillian,

My two children are 16.5 months apart, and only because Devin was

two weeks late!! Devin wasn't planned either, I was still

breastfeeding Reina. I can tell you that at first it is a bit

difficult but it does get easier. It would be a lot easier still if

I wasn't in Germany and my husband wasn't in Iraq. I didn't know

how I was going to go grocery shopping by myself at first, but when

you have no choice you just get up and go. I've been out and about

with the two of them since Devin was just a few weeks old and its

not as hard as it seems. You'll get the hang of it. I love having

them this close, now. They're actually learning to play with each

other it is so cute! My friend in my playgroup has a girl that

turned 2 in may, her son turns 1 in october, and she's due with her

3rd in November. Its good that she's still young, and full of

energy, lol!!! In the beginning I felt that my mission in life was

only to change diapers!!! Reina was quite jealous of Devin in the

beginning even though we did everything so she wouldn't feel that

way. She's much better now about it and she loves to make him

laugh!! I wouldn't change a thing. Of course, there are days that I

just want to lock myself up in the bathroom and cry, but then

they'll do something to make me smile or laugh. You'll do fine and

have lots of fun along the way!!!

Hello!! I just want to tell you that my boys are 16 months apart and it was fun having them that close! They are the best of friends, besides being brothers, everyone asks us if they are twins! My youngest, Korben(DOCband GRad 2-06-02) he is 2 1/2 yrs old and Marshall, is almost 4 and they are the same size. They wear the same size clothes and almost the same size shoes!! But its fun having them this close, the will always have a friend to play with and help the other one get into trouble!! Take care and good luck with #2!!
