    Zero to one was so much harder for me. Adding DD2 when DD1 was 23.5 months has been (mostly) a breeze. Some of that is just the type of babies they are, but mostly it is that I already live a kid-friendly lifestyle and home and have more mom friends and activities than I did with DD1. The only thing harder was that my second got sick so early!

    @KayKay: yes to this! "honestly, sometimes I really like dealing with my immobile, mostly quiet baby instead of my whirlwind toddler".

    0-1 hands down.

    I don't have 2 (yet!) but I will IN April and I'm terrified. Having one wasn't that big of a deal to me. Our world changed but we had the ability to completely 100% adapt our new life to hers. No question. Now I'm scared because my day can't totally revolve around the needs of either of them and that sounds harder to me.

    0-1 was so much harder. It was just more of a shock to the system. With number 2, we were expecting the 'worst', and it was so much easier. We were more relaxed, and mine are 15 months apart.

    I've heard the transition from 2-3 is a cake walk, though

    While there are plenty of moments of frustration, the second time was so much easier. We had major life, work, and financial changes with the first, the second time was already established, so it was much easier to roll with (26 months apart). That said, I have even less spare time than before, so I have had to work pretty hard at being efficient.

    0-1 was a doozie. 1-2 was a breeze! My kids are 17 months apart.

    0-1 was hell. Going from one to two has been a lot of work but a breeze emotionally! I gap PPD going from 0-1 but have been just so happy since we became a family of four. It's crazy, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop!
