Hi there,
I just thought I would tell you my situation. I have two girls 12mths apart and then #2 & #3 are 23mths apart. My youngest is 6wks old.
I have found it hard when they fight over everything, but otherwise it is ok. Basically you are already doing the things with your first child that you would need to do with the second. You are already changing one nappy so whats another, etc.
I also found that it was best if I had my day organised, not everything goes to plan, but it helps if you have planned what you want to do in the day. e.g what games your going to pklay with the kids & for how long. When is lunch time and rest time etc.
It is like having twins with my first two, but they are also really good friends too. I wouldn't change having my kids close together for anything.
I found that the weight was harder after the secong to come off, but once the 2nd child was 1 and running around, I found it started to come off then and I also started exercisng more then too.
Good luck with your decision.
