I have a 25month age gap between my two. I worried about it quite a bit before the birth, but it hasnt been as hard as I expected. i had to do the double buggy thing, but now eldest is about to turn 3 i usually make her walk.
I was also worried that the baby crying in the night would wake up my toddler who is usually easily woken - but she never seems to wake to his crying, so that is a god thing!
On the downside, sharing toys is starting to become a big issue - but I hope she will learn soon.
Good luck, you will be fine, us Mums always find a way to cope!

It's been quite hard being pregnant while trying to look after Lily, it's just been tiring more than anything else so I try to rest when she goes for a nap. I'm hoping in the long run there will be loads of benefits to having them so close together!
Good luck with your pregnancies Laura and Hayley.

There is 22 months between my 2 little one (although I have 3 older ones - much older) and I have to say they are very close and as my little girl was so young when we had her brother she has no concept of jealousy and has been so loving with him. I would agree with K8 and say the way to cope with 2 little ones is definetly routine. My two are now in a great routine and have been since very early on and now have their tea at 5 bath at 6 and youngest in bed by 6.30 and next in bed by 7 until between 7 - 9 good luck to all x
