Two under 1?!?!



We have had some serious surprises in our house lately and we are embarking on a new adventure that neither my husband nor I am sure we are ready for. We just found out that I am four months pregnant. *faint*



Disclaimer: Apparently, you are super fertile after you give birth and it is still possible to get pregnant if you are on the pill, breastfeeding and taking other precautions. O.M.G. I wish some one would have told me this and my other precautions would have included making my husband sleep in a different room!



For those of you keeping track, L-Monster was born November 1st. I am due with this baby October 24th. I was a little worried about having 2 babies under 2 years of age but instead I get to join a VERY elite group: 2 babies under 1 year of age.



After taking a week to process the information, we are trying to only look at the positives.
* they will hopefully be very close - just as much friends as they are siblings
* I only have to loose ALL the weight once. I couldn't figure out why the last of my belly was lingering on - now I know and only have to lose those "last 10" pounds one time
* We don't have to store anything away. By the time Lucas out grows it, the next baby will be ready for it.
* It is easier than twins. Only one will be on the boob/bottle at a time. whew!
* We don't have to re-enter the diaper stage. Once we are done, we are done!



Do you have babies close in age? If so, what are your tips for maintaining your sanity?

  1. Wow! Congrats...and good luck! Ours have stayed pretty close to almost two years apart, so no two under one craziness to provide insight.
