Mom to babies 10 1/2 months apart!

[purpleangel]

Hi everyone! I absolutely love totsites! My friend told me about it over a year ago and since then several of my cousins and friends have signed up and have totsites for their little ones too! I love looking at other people's totsites! We are parents to three very handsome boys! We always wanted a total of three kids. We have an eight year, a one year old and a 2 month old. When our little Evan (our one year old) was only six weeks we found out we were pregnant again. We now have our little Hayden (as of Feb. 8th). He was definitely a huge surprise but has made our family complete! To see our three boys you can check out our totsite and if anyone has any advice and/or stories about babies this close in age it would be much appreciated. Also, I love meeting new mommies who have or are experiencing similar things.

Hi. I have 2 girls 10 months apart. I have a 16 month old and a 6 month old. It is quite a handful eh? :) We got pregnant with Kahlyn (my youngest) when Abbie was 6 weeks old as well. Total accident but totally worth it. My Name is Kristen and I just wanted to say hi since we have something with our kids in common!

That is so awesome to meet somebody with babies that close in age as well. I have learned it is very rare LOL. Right now one of the things we are experiencing- our boys were supposed to be sharing a room but our
middle child is a very light sleeper so I'm not sure if it's gonna work. Do your girls share a room? If so how did you do it?....Do you have a totsite for your little girls?

wow....so i guess i'm not the only mommy in this little predictement!! i currently have an 8 month old little girl and i'm about 5 months pregnant. my hubby and i are just getting over the "shock" :eek: of it and we're starting to get a little excited but still a little scared!! :confused: if anyone has any words of wisdom for me, i'd love to hear it!!

One of the best things someone once told me was to treat them like twins when it comes to a routine as far as they nap at the same time, try to feed them at the same time etc... of course this will be awhile before you will be able to do this because of course newborns are on their own schedule. Our youngest has just gotten to where he is sleeping through the night (he is almost 3 months) so we are just now getting to where we can kinda have them on a schedule and having them on the same schedule definitely helps a WHOLE WHOLE lot!! It gives you a little "me" time to do what you need to do.

Also, with our oldest I have began to teach him to be "gentle" to the baby. When Hayden was first born, Evan would like to try and crawl on him but it was only cause he was so little himself he didn't understand. Anyways, Evan is catching on real quick and he is so cute when he goes around Hayden cause he will want to touch him but he always tries to do it gently.

We invested in a really nice baby monitor. It helps especially if your kiddos will share a room but even if they don't it is great. The one we got was
Q-See QSW25C 2.5-Inch TFT Baby Monitoring System w/Wireless Camera. You can find them on Amazon.com or if you just search google. But you can get up to three different cameras and it is motion sensored to where if one baby moves you can set it up to where it will automatically pan to that room or bed. Also, it has night-vision!! It's really cool!
