For those who have or have had two kids under the age of two how hard of an adjustment was it? How did your little one take to the new baby? Just curious..

Julie was 15 months old when Kelsey was born, and they did just great!

I was a little apprehensive when we brought Kelsey home, but it was fine. Just getting into a routine was the key :D

I've been worrying about this since I found out I was pregnant. Cadence wont' turn 2 until October, and I'm due in June :(
I don't want my middle one to feel left out, or badly (doesn't help that I'm super attached to her and her to me).
I would be interested in hearing anyone who has had first hand experience as well.

Im not sure if I'll be in this situation or not yet. I guess I'll know next week.

We did barely Bay was 23 months when sissy came along. They are still great friends. Bay was a little bit, unsure of her in her house, but things went great after that.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Not yet. Im just starting to feel like I did last time. Dh has apparently noticed something too though, he asked me today if I was.

Well you can go to the OB desk and get a test, just in case you wanted to have one. :D

I didn't know that. I figured I'd just buy a home test next week.

Mine are 19 months apart. At first it wasn't so bad. DS was a little jealous of whenever I was bf'ing DD, but he really loved her. Now, though, I'm having troubles w/ DS being mean to DD. I don't know what's going on. Overall though, I'm glad I had them close together.

Yeah, go to the OB desk and ask for a test and they will put one in for you. Then go to the lab and they will get it done, results take about 3 hours to get back. They will call you.

Mine was a little over two when my second came. She was pretty apathetic to her honestly. She didn't hate her or love her, just was like "Oh ok, this is how it is" and went about doing whatever she was.

As my second as gotten older, though, my oldest has taken an interest in her because now she can do things. When my second was a baby my first was I think bored because she just laid there. Now they play together all the time.

When we drop my oldest off at preschool my younger asks for her all the time!

Mine are two days shy of a year apart. Zach does okay with Nikolai now. At first he didn't care that the other baby was there, it was just another person. However he didn't want us to hold him. Now they are 18 months and 6 months months and though Zach is kind of mean to Nikolai at times he gives him hugs and kisses and loves to try to hold him. I was not really that nervous about bringing Nikolai home, however now I am working on the third and I am a bit nervous about this one. We are going to have three babies under the age of two and a half. Zach will be about two years and two months old with the third one comes and Nikolai will only be a little over one and I am very nervous about it. It is not that hard with the first two I don't think. Good luck though!

my sons were just about 2 years apart and my oldest son did great. he didnt really have much jelousy, but hewould only let my put him to bed not daddy, just things that he wanted to like mark his territory lol..and my younget wil be jsut about 2 years apart from the one I am carrying now. I am more worried about him than I was about my oldest because my youngest son was sick all his life. Thank God hes doing better now but he was babied for so long i think it will be a tough adjustment for him.
