I don't know whether to feel flattered or slightly miffed that so many of you "noticed" or "thought so" before yesterday. I mean a pot gut is not something completely abnormal for me to be sporting on a daily basis.
And here I thought I was being so sneaky. Apparently my high school basketball coach was right, I'm about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. Ah well, I knew I couldn't keep it to myself forever. Especially when all I can twitter or talk about is how hungry I am. But really, that's not too far left of normal for me. I'm a bottomless pit. This baby only makes things worse. Also, we have hereby dubbed this offspring "WhoBaby". So it is written, so it is done.
The childrens will be 2 years and almost exactly a month apart. Good timing? You tell me. I'm no expert at this thing. Of course I'm excited, but slightly terrified. One baby is a lot of work, I know that and I've said it before, 2 kids are no joke! Plus no more solo time with my Nublet and that idea makes me want to shed a few tears all alone in my closet. And we won't even talk about how expensive kids are...
But then I think about this time, or this one, or this one, or any of the choice moments, both good and bad, the last 2 years have held and just like the Grinch, my heart grows 3 sizes.
I know. I KNOW how great it is.
And that is enough to get me through all the rest I suppose.

Mine are 18 months apart, and I absolutely LOVED that gap. It was so much fun having two little ones to snuggle on, especially since one of them was not completely helpless, and thought running to get me diapers and wipes was the best thing ever! They are not so little anymore at 9 and 10, but they are such good friends and really enjoy each other. You will love having them this close. :)
PS- my word is TURDIN! ha!
excited for 'whobaby'!
Yeah, I kinda wondered. But I'm so excited!!! I loved having 2 kids. 'Course, mine are 4 1/2 years apart, but 2 kids is awesome! You'll be just fine.
Now 3 kids, don't get me started on 3. ;)
Happy Whobaby!
I didn't notice...I'm sorry. I just thought you were standing funny. I'm so excited for you!! (And slightly jealous. Alright, extremely jealous)I think you have this mom thing down, 2 will be a breeze. I want all my kiddos to be pretty close together too, so I'll be waiting for your stories and tips :)
my girls are exactly 2 years and 10 days apart. Not going to lie, the first 3 months were pretty much hell. They were both still "babies" and every time I'd have to nurse that is when Ella needed her sippy filled or something from me and OH THE GUILT! Now they are best buds and enertain each other! I think it's a perfect age difference.
Mine are just under two years apart. I was in a fog for a lot of it, but Jolyn tells me it was pretty bad for me :) I don't really remember...... So good luck with all that. Two kids in diapers...ahhhh, the memories. It was good motivation to get that potty training going.
Either way, I like it now. Now that they are still little and cute, but not newborns. They are more on the same level for playing and whatnot.
Congratulations again!
i don't know you, and i'm not exactly sure about the complicated web of blogstalking that brought me to you, but anyway...here i am. and i had to comment because my kids are two years and one month apart, just like yours will be. i'm not gonna lie and say it's all been heartwarming and my life's been full of furry bunnies and cotton candy (other than this one time i took my kids to a state fair), but like you said, you KNOW how great it is. and it really is that great. you just probably won't remember any of it, and you'll probably smell bad 'cause you'll never have time to shower.
seriously, though, you're gonna love that whobaby to death.
The boys are 2 yrs apart and so are the girls, with 3 yrs between #2 and #3. Both ways are good, and two kids was not so big an adjustment as having the first one was.
Woohoo!!! Congratulations! Can't wait to meet WhoBaby!
Congratulations!! I didn't notice, but I haven't been reading your blog (or following your Twitter feed) for very long.
My boys are 26 months apart and I think it's a great gap. The older one is old enough to enjoy being helpful and understand what "gentle" means (sorta), but still young enough that he adjusted without a hitch and probably can't even remember his brother not being here!
The baby is four months old, and the other commentors are spot-on that it's like living in a fog. I can't remember the last time I had a good, full night's sleep, and that whole "sleep when your baby sleeps" thing? Doesn't work when you have a preschooler running around! So just be prepared for that. Totally worth it though, and they're only little for a short time :-)
Oh, and don't think you won't get one-on-one time with the older one. If you want it, it will happen.
Congrats! 2 Will be so fun!!! I am due in the middle of August! Little nervous myself! I just keep telling myself how fun it will be! Hope all our renovations are done by then! hahaha! How are you feeling?
are you secretly hoping for a boy or girl??
Mine are almost exactly 2 years apart. And it is pretty perfect.
My oldest two are about 2 and a half years apart - worked real well for them. My youngest two are four years apart in age difference from each other and the older ones. And that worked real great for those two youngest. God works in mysterious ways.
I agree with an above post - once you have one, you've got some know-how. It's when you get to 3 that you and hubs get outnumbered.
You'll do fine and the years pass very quick. Enjoy the fog.
