2 under 3..

Is it really hard? I need words of encouragement, me and my husband have decided to start trying in October, our daughter will be 18 months which means we could potentially have just over a year age gap. (It may of course take longer to conceive)

Positive stories please? Incognito as I don’t want friends and family to see and know we’re going to start trying

I have an almost 3 year old boy and 6 month old baby boy. My toddler is really sweet and kind so we haven't gotten any issues other than a little jealousy over quality time but its normal as hes used to having 100% of mom and dad.

Id say the hardest part for me has been laundry is never ending, and lack of sleep as is normal with an infant. For me infants are way harder than toddlers. I absolutely enjoy toddlerhood. They dont interact too much (baby cant do much lol) but they absolutely love each other.

Its difficult but worth it. I had 3 under 3 for 5 weeks last year. Ive got 3 year old 2 year old and almost 9 month old. Its a handful but lovely to see all the kids together playing. Theyll all be close together in school to

I had 3 under 3 for over a year a few months ago, yes it is hard, I would personally recommend waiting a little while longer to start trying again. I would not have done such close in age if it was my choice.

It's the best my daughter was 2.4 when her brother was born and they are the best of friends. She helps with everything getting everything ready for bottle, nappy change,bed,bath, tea which i think helps lot coz she wasn't being pushed out. Keeping her quire during nap times was probably the hards at first but she soon learnt that if he was sleeping she had to use her quite voice. They are nearly 4 and 17 months and do everything together and of course they argue like there is no tomorrow and and best friends again the next minute

Im curious

So I just watched a video of kids being reunited with their dad after several months apart due to being in the army. 😭 it's so heartbreaking.

And I have a genuine curiosity....

I've never understood why any one would want to join the army voluntarily.

I also don't understand how they can stay when they have kids.

Also the wives, how do they manage all the emotions and emptyness that comes with it.

I honestly think if a partner ever wanted to join the army I would have to leave him. I would never want to go through that or put my kids through that.

I had 2 school friends who joined. 1 left because he didn't like it. The other seems to be in a mentally dark space now.

But guestion:

Why do you think so many join the army????

Trying for Baby No 2

We have an 18m old with our last 2 frozen embryos in storage and think we have decided to try again.

We were a long time TTC and our first baby was via our 3rd transfer so I was trying lots of different things, acupuncture, no caffeine/alcohol/perfume, eco friendly brands, drinking bone broth etc!

Our doctor has suggested the same meds which is natural cycle plus progesterone, but with a toddler on the run I don’t know if I’ve got the headspace or energy to do all the “extra stuff” and if any of that helped anyway?

I feel more relaxed this time but also want to give it the best shot so feel like I need to prepare.

Anyone else been in a similar position?
