....i'm not. but my bestfriend JUST turned 18 in may has a 4 month old and is about 6 1/2 weeks pregnant.

I'm just offering some encouragement. Good luck, take your time and try not to be stressed too much 

Mine will be 3 years apart, so I don't personally have experience with it. But I have a friend who has 4 kids and the middle two are that close together. She says she wishes they all were like that because they are like best friends and get along so well.

Yep my girls are 15mths 1 day apart. Prepare yourself for it being really hard. Two carseats, two cribs, two in diapers, two people needing you 24/7 and being more exhausted than you have been in your entire life. I wish my girls were further apart (like 2.5 or 3.5 years) because I feel like I missed out on so much of my oldest daughters life. I was sick from being pregnant, tired, cranky, etc. and she was just a baby. 6 months old. I was in the bathroom puking all day and my mom got to see alot of her "milestones" because she'd come over during the days to help me. I feel like she was not a baby long enough. good luck! Have LOTS of support

the same happend to me, its going to be a lot of work but although all the hard work its allworth it!!

My son is 6 months today.

I should have started AF on Sunday and still haven't.

I am BFing and on the mini pill so I think maybe its screwing with my cycle. I took a test Monday night and it was negative. If AF still is not here by Sat I will be testing that morning. We just may be in the same boat together.

Arie was 11 months when I got pregnant with my son

Times are ROUGH, uim not gonna lie....sometimes I feel like im not gonna make it....but in the end, you always do

Congrats....its not gonna be easy WHAT SO EVER but siblings are amazing ; )

I got pregnant with this baby when my son was only 3 months old. So they will be barely over a year apart. It is scary at first, but you just roll with it. I know it will be hard work, but nothing I can do about it now. It did take a little while for the shock to ware off, but eery baby is a blessing. Good luck - I am sure you will be fine.

I got pregnant again RIGHT away. My kids are 10 1/2 months apart. I was freaked at first and really depressed about it actually. But as soon as my second was born I forgot about all of that. It's hard... believe me. But probably not as hard as you'd think. The first few weeks are the worst but it gets better.
I love that they are best friends and they do everything together. They fight sometimes, but what siblings don't. One good thing I think is that they keep eachother entertained. And also they go through some of the same things around the same time. Like right now I'm trying to potty train them both.. lol. I think as soon as one gets it, so will the other.
The only really horrible thing I can think of is all the poop. Haha. Sooo many diapers when you have 2 that close. It gets better though.
Anyway, overall I love having them so close (which is why we went for #3). I wouldn't change it for anything!
Good luck.

are you due march 4th?

You said it perfectly and exactly how I have been feeling. I am so tired and sick all the time that I feel like I am missing out on Johanthons baby time and it makes me sad.

Like I have all the symptoms of a period but no period. but period symptoms are the same as pregnancy so who knows.
