Congratulations, i adore the name Logan, I wanted that for my boy but other half didnt :(
Have you bought a new twin stroller then? I'm wondering if I can get away with just a buggy board as my boy will be almost 3... xx
I bought a second hand Graco tandem buggy from a child minder on Netmums for £60 including the car seat and lock in base - bargain!
Is your son using a buggy now or is he happy to walk? I got the double buggy as Rhiannon will walk so far then wants carrying and is too heavy to carry long distances plus she can sleep in the buggy. I'm glad I didn't go for a side by side buggy as it's hard enough getting into somee shops with the single width one.
Hello everyone
Im new to this site and wanted to say hello...Im pregnant with baby #2 and very excited but equally as nervous!! our son is 13months old and he is amazing, he has slept through the night since he was about 2/3months old and he is just so happy all the time. Im really worried we are going to have a completely different baby that crys all the time and doesn't sleep. Iv tried to convince myself that Fynlee is the way he is because of how me and my husband have raised him and that all our other kids will be just as good but so many people keep telling us we were just lucky...
Please tell me Im right and not everyone else lol

What a difference second time around has been! I had my son Logan on the 13th May and this time got to use the birthing pool although I got so hot I nearly fainted so had him outside of the pool using just gas and air. The labour was much quicker too as my waters broke at 3.30am, contractions started at 6.30am and he was born at 1.40pm.
I didn't stay in the hospital either as we were both fine and I needed to get back to Rhiannon who was being looked after by a friend.
It is hard work having a toddler and newborn but it is a lot less stressful dealing with things like crying and wind as I've dealt with it once before so know what I am doing. Breastfeeding has been a lot easier this time too.
Rhiannon has accepted having a baby brother really well and occasionally plays up but it's to be expected.
She was 2 on the 25th July and it's a nice age gap as she's big enough to help out and is happy to play while I sort Logan out.
I don't know how my Mum coped with my brother and me being twins but I now know why she didn't go out much as it's a mammoth task getting 2 kids sorted and out of the house!

Hi Kate, I'm Kate too and in that same boat!
You know I've seen loads of mums complain in the run up to it but then just find that the older sibling is so helpful and does more entertaining than you did the first time round that the second just slips into place. You have your routine, knowledge and everything already so the second will just fit into your life. Plus you know so much more now than the first time round!!
I have a friend to has just had another boy with the same age gap from the eldest and said to me she adores it more than she thought ever she would!
Keep positive! We can do it!

just found out im pregnant with my second child there will be a two and half year gap between siblings.
just wanting a bit of reassurance, cant seem to get excited this time round. perhaps it is cos i know the hard work that is coming?
is this normal?
is going from one to two children as difficult as people say?
