People will say, "congrats, right?" or "Congrats I guess??" And it's like, yeah I'm terrified and not ready, but I don't need to hear how hesitant everyone else is!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1413774 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 10:03:05 +0000 jedeve 1413774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will have two under 18 months and have gotten plenty of comments on it! But I've been pretty honest about it being a surprise. (Breastfeeding, no period, using PNP. I mean, obviously not the soundest BC but still pretty unlikely! .I don't tell people the last one though!)</p> <p>Most of our friends say, "well, you are catholic!" Which really had nothing to do with it. I kind of wish there was something between "what a wonderful blessing!" and "you're crazy!" We are happy to have more children, but I sure wasnt ready. Which is why I guess I joke about it, to offset the anxiety I feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1411209 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 09:18:21 +0000 Anagram 1411209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: um..if it were up to my husband, I would already be pregnant again, too! So I think most people won't think twice about it.</p> <p>And childless friends will have no clue about how hard it might be to have two, so they won't think twice about it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410493 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:52:02 +0000 GreenThumb 1410493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Congratulations!! I haven't been on HB much since my LO was born, but I just had to reply to your post! That is incredibly exciting and I'm so happy for you! I actually kinda hope the same thing happens to me… I'd be thrilled not have to go through IVF again ;). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410481 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:40:06 +0000 autumnlove 1410481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! Mine are 16 months apart and I got lots of "you guys couldn't wait" and "was this planned" type comments. I love having them close in age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410462 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:25:53 +0000 GrapeCrush 1410462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: like @Running Elley: said, we got more asking if ours were planned, than saying we were irresponsible. Ours are 15 months apart, and we wouldn't have it any other way!! Congrats and you'll do great :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410445 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 17:13:25 +0000 Mrs. Train 1410445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like most people have positive experiences. I have had many strangers make comments to me. When my son was only five months old and I was gigantically pregnant with twins I got a lot, and then when I was out with all three babies. I had people say things like oh I guess your husband couldn't wait the six weeks, or I hope your baby machine is turned off for awhile. I think you just have to have a thick skin when it comes to comments. Most people I know personally know we adopted and then got pregnant. So it was usually strangers and when that's the case I just try to remeber that I will most likely never see them again, and they have no idea what they are talking about.</p> <p>And also congrats!! I am very happy for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410418 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 16:41:25 +0000 Running Elley 1410418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can do it! It's not as scary as it sounds!</p> <p>Mine are 13.5 months apart and we've never gotten comments about it being irresponsible...just a lot of people asking if it was planned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410405 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 16:24:31 +0000 meganmp 1410405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! You can do it. I had twins, so 2 under 1. If I can do it, anyone can:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410305 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 14:38:08 +0000 tysonja 1410305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe we have 2 under 1.5 right now! I'm proud to tell people we planned it!:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410286 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 14:19:37 +0000 swedishfish 1410286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: haha, no I'm not. I'm just a woman who assumed we didn't need protection because we were supposed to be infertile! :silly: How did your parents deal with 2 under 1? </p> <p>@knittylady: I guess it works in the end for job hunting for me. I was either going to look for a new job at the end of this school year or next. Next, it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410096 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 10:32:59 +0000 knittylady 1410096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for starting this thread! I've been consumed with these thoughts. DS will be 15 months when LO2 is born.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410036 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 09:14:42 +0000 illumina 1410036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think people will judge. I know a lot of families who have their LO's 18mths apart...it seems to be more common than waiting 2-3yrs between them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410026 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 09:09:20 +0000 artsyfartsy 1410026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think anyone would think its irresponsible! My sister and I were two years apart and I would have loved to be even closer in age to her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410025 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 09:08:43 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1410025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister and I are 15 months apart and my parents never got any negative comments (that I know of!). My mom said that having me so close to my sister was the easiest transition of all the kids. </p> <p>Congrats again! Call me crazy but these June mommas getting preggo is kind of giving me the fever! :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410021 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 09:06:34 +0000 Smurfette 1410021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who cares what people think!!!my sister is 18 months older then me and my brother is 18 months younger then me. So imagine 3 under 3! </p> <p>Congrats again! So happy for y'all. And I totally hope it is a girl so R and new baby can play dress up together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1410020 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 09:05:02 +0000 Boheme 1410020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of friends with kids that close together and they all love it! They have all said the same thing - that the baby stage can be a little hectic, but then their children are so close and have so much fun together. I'm excited for more name posts! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1409999 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 08:43:24 +0000 matador84 1409999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will be just under 18 months apart! Everyone has told me it'll be hard at first but I'll love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1409991 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 08:33:52 +0000 Ra 1409991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: No one is going to think you are irresponsible! You aren't a 16-year-old single mom! My brother and sister are Irish twins and my parents never heard any negative comments about it. </p> <p>R is going to be such a good big sister! Can you imagine how close they will be if you have another little girl?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1409987 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 08:26:49 +0000 MrsRcCar 1409987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: First Congrats on your BFP! Second, don't worry about what other people think! I am due with lo #2 next month, making my boys 17 months apart. Dh and I wanted them close together so that's what we got! My mom had me and then my brother 15 months later. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-of-2-under15#post-1409950 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 07:08:04 +0000 swedishfish 1409950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If this pregnancy sticks R will be 16 months old when LO #2 is born. Did you worry about looking irresponsible to others? R is only 7 months old right now...but at least it's not Irish twins? Haha. </p>
