    Hi and congrats with the new little one baking

    I had a 7 yr gap between my first and second baby.... i was lucky my husband (ex now) stayed home for the first month so i had the luxoury of him helping..

    The school was walking distance so Ds 7 was walked to school so i just put Ds2 newborn in pram and walked very very handy.

    or if you can get your husband to drop them and pick them up in the first few weeks.

    I don't have the big age gap between mine, but I was sending 2 to school & 1 to day care twice a week when I had DD3. Some mornings you really just don't want to get up, but then you think about the peace & quiet when the big kids are at school & that gives you some energy
    I always tell myself I'll go back to bed when the kids are gone, but I never do.

    Having a NB again isn't too hard to adjust too. Other than the amount you have to cart around with you every time you leave the house. They are pretty easy IMO. The only trouble I had was the lack of sleep & having to get on with every day stuff like shopping etc. ex only had the 2 days I was in hospital off.

    Your girls will love being the big sisters. I'm sure you'll have way too much hands on help :lol;
