My own two are not quite a year apart and it was pretty overwhelming initially. They will be 4 and 5 in May and it's not nearly as difficult now. They are great friends, I hope they continue to be as I don't want more children, so they're stuck with each other LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-5113522043606678602007-03-22T14:10:00.000-05:002007-03-22T14:10:00.000-05:00Haha....twins it could still be! ok, probably not...Haha....twins it could still be! ok, probably not.... <BR/><BR/>and I think you are totally qualified to give advice.

When he was born she was the picture of angelic grace. She LOVED her brother and asserted her right to treat him as though he was her own. It was quite a relief. Of course, she totally took her displacement out on me and I was on her shit list for at least a month.

The chances for resentment and jealously seem so high during that time when they still need you while you need to care for the new babies. I wish your friend the best of wishes.<BR/><BR/>I have no siblings myself, so I haven't a clue about how age Celebrate Woo-Woohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09707970217013836008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-42782363423404384182007-03-22T06:43:00.000-05:002007-03-22T06:43:00.000-05:00Now that I read my comment, I'm scared the "gutsy"...Now that I read my comment, I'm scared the "gutsy" part sounds bitchy and I am SO NOT intending it to be that way. What I meant was when my son was Arun's age, I wish I would have felt I had enough patience, energy and sanity, (and emotional support from my husband) to welcome another little person into the fold. Unfortunately I didn't feel as ready. And I envy you for feeling ready.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527762200993175239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-38701872210463083702007-03-22T06:34:00.000-05:002007-03-22T06:34:00.000-05:00That's really interesting...

(Course it doesn't help when your parents openly favor the other kid and say things like, "You'd better watch out. Your sister is very pretty. She could steal your boyfriend just by blinking in his direction.") Plus?

We are going to start trying when Porgie turns one. I am 6 years older than one of my brothers and 13 years older than the other. We are not very close. In fact, we rarely ever talk - we just don't have anything in common. My hope is that my children will be friends while growing up.<BR/><BR/>Also, Porgie already weighs 21 pounds at 9 months.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977781470147646616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-11797528815772532812007-03-21T18:42:00.000-05:002007-03-21T18:42:00.000-05:00Count yourself lucky!

I always get excited about those, even if it isn't my own baby.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think you will be surprised at how much Arun changes in the next few months. We've had a couple of rough weeks recently, but at almost 21 months Zach is becoming more independent every day.<BR/><BR/>p.s.

Twins are pretty prevalent in my family, so a small part of me was hoping for two, but we've already had our sono and, much to my hubbies relief, only one little person is kicking around in my tummy. <BR/><BR/>Few weeks with a 17 month old are easy, but I think you will be amazed at how things do quickly get easier as Arun getsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
