2 under 2’s..

First of all congratulations!! 2 under 2 is madness but I love it. I’m married but husband works 7 days a week and late nights so I do 100% of the childcare. It’s really tough sometimes especially when both of them need you at the same time, but you get into a routine quickly enough!! Do you have family or friends close by for support?

LG born 30th July 22 LB born 13th July 23 😅 my partner leaves for work at 7:45am and gets home latest 5:30 through the week, we got a routine established straight away so that the day runs as smooth as possible, we also try to get out as much as possible! I'll put my LB in a carrier and my LG in her stroller even if we just go for a walk for half an hour it really helps, my LG now helps with small things like passing me his nappy or wipes and she'll share her teddies with him when he's on his playmat 🥰 it can be stressful but I really wouldn't have it any other way and can't wait to see them grow up so close to each other 😊 Congratulations, you've got this!x

My baby girl was 4 months when I found out I was pregnant again there is going to be just under 13 months between them😖

At 24 I had a just turned 6 year old, a 3 year old and two under 1, one born in jan 2012 the other nov 2012...10 months and 3 days between them, they are all older now.
But the bond they had growing up was amazing, had to be together all the time, I didnt have a set routine just carried on the day as normal, but they just fit into a routine with each other. Would wake together, feed together, sleep together, play together.
However they were my 3rd and 4th babies, transitioning from one to two babies between 1st and 2nd babies was harder than the small age gap between the 3rd and 4th.
Although I was with their dad, he was never home so I did everything on my own, they all had a great bond with me, not so much with their dad.
It does get easier as they get older, congratulations you've got this x

thankyou, I’ve literally only got mum her bf my dad and his wife and siblings.. my grandparents I was very close with both passed recently, that’s the only family I have now as the rest have completely cut me and my son off.. I only have one friend 🤣 xx

that’s the most cutest ever🥹 I’d love for my son to have sibling but I don’t know if I’m ready it’s a big shock.. I couldn’t live with myself if I had abortion but I don’t feel ready if you get me.. I know when baby comes it’ll all sink in and run some what smoothly aha x

there’s 11 months between my sister and me aha xx

thankyou, bless that’s so cute!! I’m just scared of doing it on my own as my son still needs me quite a bit xx

It was honestly such a shock for us when we found out! We didn't really talk about it for about a week and then it didn't sink in properly until we came home from the hospital with our LB 😅 I lean on my parents a fair bit for help because my partner's parents live over 2 hours a way, but at the end of the day whatever decision you decide to make you'll always have your son 💜

Honestly you will be surprised at how well you adapt to it. Your stronger than you think xx
