Mine are 18 & 3/4 months apart.

Cons:-
It is difficult to devote the time to the newborn when the toddler wants you
It is difficult to settle the newborn when the toddler is having a tantie because you have left the room to put her to bed
It is hard when you go out - you either need a double pram - or have the newborn in a carrier and the toddler in a stroller
You never get time to yourself because someone always needs feeding, changing, settling etc etc etc
You haven't had a full nights sleep in over 2 years

Pros:-
The toddler makes the newborn laugh and it sounds bloody fantastic
The toddler learns to share early
Both in nappies
You are used to sleep deprivation
The hope is there that my kids will have a very close relationship not like me and my siblings where there is 4.5 years between me and my sis, and 7 years between me and brother.


I'm also planning on having another one - mid next year we will start trying for the 3rd. Maybe we'll get lucky and have twins.. NOT.. pmsl...
