13 weeks pregnant with 8 months old.

Firstly congrats!
I got pregnant when my eldest was 5 months old. Theres now 13.5months between my two.
My son was amazing when my little girl arrived. He’s been besotted by her from the get go so that’s been so lovely to see. I think the beauty of having them this close together is that your first born is too young to know any sort of jealousy. It means they get to grow up liking the same things, wanting to play in the same area when you go out etc.
I also have no family nearby but my son goes to a childminder 3 days a week and it’s been a lifesaver!
Everything is sort of all over the place initially but eventually you find your own routine with managing 2, in the same way you did first time round. Sort of becomes a conveyor belt for nappy changes, one off, one on 😂 but for me personally, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. You got this Mama!! X
