You'll be good. I grew up in this situation, it was great. My sister and I had so much fun but fought alot as we were both in the same phase at the same time and always wanted the same things. My mum said it was fun but hard. I'm 10m pp and just found out I'm 4-5 weeks pregnant too. 🥰 Congratulations
My 2 are 15 months apart. They are now 17 months and 2 months. It's going really well so far. The hardest part of my day is as we're nearing bedtime for my toddler because the baby likes to be awake (and feeding) in the evening and the older baby goes to bed early since she's dropped her second nap already. Juggling the two to help get my oldest through her routine is very challenging if I'm alone. My daughter loves her brother and gets very excited for him. She prefers when he's with me and gets a bit jealous if he's with her dad or teenage aunt who helps out at the home. She seems to understand that baby needs me. I do miss her a bit but we also get our own play and bonding time. She likes me around for sleep and when she wants hugs and kisses. Pregnancy is extra challenging with a baby around. I found it really helped once my older one was walking. She wasn't putting as much pressure on my body.
Mine will also be 15 months apart we wanted them close in age. I'm excited for when #2 is crawling and they can play together.
I have a 15 month old and a 3 month old (they are almost exactly 12 months apart) and honestly it’s a lot of work, but so awesome!
I’m in the same situation rn if you ever need to talk reach out! I’m just focusing on how the age gap will be when they’re older 🥰
I just had my second baby and my first is 15 months. I'm still in the thick of it and honestly it's been hard so I haven't got too much advice to give. But I will say that it's okay to be scared and it's okay not to connect straight away. My son was planned so I felt connected to him as soon as we found out I was pregnant but it was different with my second. She was a surprise, in fact my husband and I had discussed having a second the night before I found out and agreed to wait until our first was 18 months to start trying. Obviously it was a big shock when I found out I was pregnant the next day 🤣. It was really hard for me to connect with her but finding out the gender and choosing a name as soon as possible really helped. Honestly it took about a week after she was born for me to really accept that she was part of our family. You will love this baby and things will feel normal again eventually. Good luck mama ❤️
