Anney, we will have an 8 year age gap between our two, and it's kind of scary. I wonder the same thing, will it be like having two 'only' children?? I know they will have their own interests because they will be at different parts of their lives, I suppose all we can do is to try to encourage something for them to have in common they can do together.
I know once they get older they will probably get along fine, it's just the part where when DD approaches her teenager years and DS will be approaching prep that might be a bit of fun and games and no doubt screaming matches.

I'm finding that at the moment I feel like I am over compensating for the fact that DD won't be an only child for much longer. We are looking at getting her a digital camera as a 'big sister' present when bub arrives, as I'm worried that people will visit at the hospital with gifts for mum and bub and DD might feel left out. I want to get her the gift, but there is this part of me that feels like Iam over compensating.

We have lightly discussed going back and using some of our snowbubs , but DH believes that we would then be creating a group of sorts where DD becomes an only child again as DS will have a sibling way closer in age to him then DD?

Goodluck with your April cycle
