Hi Catherine! Hope you and Ro are doing well.

You probably know most of my story, but I thought I'd reply in case you are interested.

-When they started to TTC their second child?
We TTC when Joel was just over 2 in January of this year.

-How far apart the children were?
As you know our children are 3 years and one day apart in age!

-Were you happy with their age gap?
I am very happy with this age gap as I got to enjoy Joel lots before #2 came along. I also got to enjoy my body being back to normal for a while

-How did you cope with the pregnancy with a child already?
I coped pretty well because the morning sickness wasn't as bad this time. It got tiring towards the end because I couldn't just rest when I wanted to. I still really enjoyed the pregnancy though.

-and what was it like with the two children?
It's getting better! Joel struggled to adjust, but is starting to get back to normal now. I found it hard at the start when I wanted to have a day nap and couldn't because I had to look after Joel. Now Kieran is sleeping better at night I am finding everything easier. It is harder to do things now though, putting two of them in and out of the car is so time consuming that I really only go out if I have to. I hope it gets easier!

- AND what was your second birth like in comparison to the first?
First birth was long and traumatic. Second birth was shorter and AWESOME!! I think you are way more prepared the second time, I did more research and felt more empowered. I loved my second birth!

Are you looking to give Ro a little brother or sister soon? Or just starting to think ahead?
