I wont lie, Im scared! My daughter will be just over two when this next one comes. When my daughter was born my son was newly three and I guess Im just more comfortable with that age gap. Three just seems so much older than two. Also my daughter is really needy and cuddly am Im just a little sad for her. Tell me it will be ok...and easy lol My son will be 5 and starting school shortly after the baby is born so itll just be my daughter and baby home with me most of the day

21 months. The first couple weeks were hard, but quickly #1 forgot what life was like without #2. The hardest part was the potty regression, but I doubt it will be as bad for you because your daughter will be a little older.

First of all, congratulations!!
I'm only one month in, and my LOs are 22 months apart, but so far it's been much better than I expected. It's true that there are challenges - J isn't super verbal and still very babyish in some ways, not to mention the diapers - but there has been almost zero jealousy, probably because he's so young and doesn't remember or dwell on what life was like before H came home.
I don't know what it's like to have that 3 year gap, and honestly that's what we're going for when we have a third because I do think it's probably easier in many ways - but J just loves "the baby" and I think it's going to be very sweet to see them grow up so close together.
