Two Under Two

I am still reeling from the shock of it...but here we are, expecting our second at the end of July.  Come this summer, I will be mother to two under the age of two.  A recipe for insanity?  Perhaps...but we are feeling so very blessed!

(also feeling a big dose of relief- this helps explain the overwhelming sense of exhaustion I have been feeling for the past three months...it all makes sense now!  and here i thought I just needed to eat more greens!)

My two youngest are 19 months apart. It can be rough, but so very, very worth it.

Congrats!

Congratulations! Yes, it does explain so much, haha! We have two boys about 2 years apart and I was so absorbed in getting my preschool daughter to her doings and caring for her baby brother it took me a good while to realize #3 was on the way. It explained so much, including why I didn't even want to *think* about making dinner most nights. Now that baby just turned 4 and my obstinate husband still harbors some belief that I chose to not cook for those couple-few weeks when I just could not figure out why I was so put off by even thinking about food. ;)

Two kids close in age will be a challenge in the early years and a blessing when they both can do similar activities later. :)

Christine!! I'm so happy for you and your family! You'll eventually be glad they're so close together, except when you have to send them to college ; )

Everything will be fine and the best thing is that they'll keep each other company and play together all the time. I do hope your energy returns soon!

Congratulations to you and your family, Christine. What an exciting time for all of you including little Vijay. I also had 2 under two; my son was 23mos when my daughter was born. They are now 7 and 5. It was a crazy, fun, insane and joyful time when they were really young. Thankfully, it gets a lot easier and rewarding as they get older. Enjoy and take care,

Oh my goodness, almost exactly my timing too! November 2010 & July 2012. I wondered when you posted about not staying awake past 9 pm if that was the norm for people who weren't pregnant too :)
