We have a 19 mth age gap (was supposed to be closer to 21, but she came early!) and it's a fantastic age gap so far. DS is smitten with her, helps look after her, smothers her in kisses, and he helps me now and then by fetching nappies and things. He's looking forward to sharing his toys (he obviously doesn't have the concept of 'mine' yet LOL) and he always wants her to read his books and ride his bike LOL.

I felt fine after #2, but my situation was a bit different.. I had 3 weeks in hospital with a prem.. so had my meals cooked for me everyday and didn't have to run around after #1. So in a way it was a great babymoon with #2.

I haven't returned to work as such. I work from home on a couple of things, so this works well for us.

I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever happens for you
