Will I survive?? I mean I know I will.. Cause You have too... and I know this baby is a blessing and meant to be.. Obviously. But I'm struggling to believe in MY Abilities.. lol Just some advice please..

Answer 1

You will be fine. It will be rough at first, but then you will get into a routine.  Don't worry your daughter will thank you later in life for giving her a sibling so close in age.  Congrats and Good luck.

Answer 2

Well when my first son was 19 months I got pregnant with my second son and when my second son was 3 months I got pregnant with my daughter. So right now I have a 3 year old 17 month old and 5 month old. The first couple of months were difficult but then I got in a routine and it's not as hard as you think. It just becomes a regular part of your life. Just as you had to change things around when your first was born you will adapt to your life with another child. Just make sure you take care of yourself. I won't lie. It gets frustrating at times when both kids need you at the same time but you will do what you have to do. It is great having kids close together and seeing them play together. When they get older they will be closer than most siblings with the same interests. Your older one will be more self sufficient. You will be able to do it. As long as you have a balance and do your best your kids will love you. Your older one is still young and won't be jealous or resentful because the new baby will be apart of her growing up. I wish you all the best. I hope I helped a little. and congratulations. Its a true blessing and God won't give you more than you can handle.

Answer 3

If I can do it with two little wild girls thirteen months apart, you can do it.  Like you said, it's happening so get ideas on what will help you.  Plan on a babysitter for a time out for you.  Plan a babysitter for you and your husband to have a night out once in a while.  If you have a mom close by, yours or your husband's, go over occasionally and you will get some help.  We grandmas can't keep our hands off those new grand babies.  If you take your time and plan things that you can do while your kids are asleep or napping, you'll find you can dod things better than what you thought.  And at first those babies spend a lot of time sleeping and then is when you can spend alone time with your older child.  She'll love that.  Play with her and hold her and love her to pieces.  You'll be fine.  

Answer 4

think about it as a blessing becuase now your daughter will have someone to grow up with. you dont want to many years apart because its a hassle. when the baby is born it will be less hard with a husband who truly loves you and a daughter who will most likely love the new baby. all of my brothers and sister are 2 or 3 years apart and we are all closer then best friends. take it a day at a time and you will see it wont be as hard as you think. good luck and congrats

Answer 5

I got pregnant with my son when my daughter was 5 months old. I was also upset at first, but that all went away. It is not as hard as everyone told me it was going to be. My son is going to be 3 weeks old tomorrow and wouldn't want things to be any other way. Congrats and u can do it!
