I'm like a couple of the other girls and can't comment on having two "actual" bubbies close together but my DD will be just under 12 months when this baby is born. Pregnancy while looking after a baby is really, really hard. Remember the tiredness of when you were pregnant with your first, and then imagine that you're getting up during the night, not able to just put your feet up when you want to, and you have a little person constantly demanding your attention. Also, dealing with MS and pooey nappies and a dribbling, teething daughter have been almost impossible for me (fortunately DH works from home so he's on permanent pooey nappy duty - a definite plus!!). I've lost track of the number of times I've had to dump my DD into her cot half dressed/changed while I race to the loo.

DH and I wanted our children close together (not this close though!!!), and were planning for more like an 18 month/2 year age gap.
