You tend to adapt to your new life when #2 does finally arrive....DH and i were on edge for the first 6 months of DD #1 life. Watching every move she made, whispering at night once she was asleep !!!. Now that #2 has come along, you become so ooooo much more relaxed - youve done it all before !!!! Its actually more enjoyable. Im not reading every text book created to ensure she is getting the best nutrition, we're not whispering at night. You actually ENJOY #2 !!

We had a 29 month gap. I fell pregnant when DD#1 was 20 months....i would never have a shorter age gap. I think that makes a difference whilst preggers. Did with me.

Ive breastfeed #2 in the car with #1 in the front seat next to me eating a iceblock dripping all over her legs, ive breastfeed at the park, ive pushed DD#1 on a swing whilst holding DD#2 (4 weeks old) - you adapt. You have too....When #2 cries im a little more relaxed- i will finish drying off the dishes then attend to her. She's been drawn on (lovely pink texta !!), shes had stickers all over her face, she's even fallen out of her bouncer (i know ) . Both DH and i are finding it sooo much more enjoyable with the second.

PS: You will never move on from your DD.......your relationship simply takes a new turn. When #2 laughs and gets excited when #1 walks in the room you kinda realise what its all about...

Good luck.
