About two hours after I had my first baby ten weeks ago, I said "OK, when can we have another one?"

I stil feel the same. However, I am aware from talking to other mums and reading BB that I have been blessed with a very easy baby. She sleeps heaps at night and although she doesn't seem to know the meaning of sleep during the day, she never cries and has a permanent smile on her face. Suffice to say, I am loving this motherhood lark.

The only downside is I'm 38. Getting pregnant was pretty easy last time BUT if I were to have another one, I've obviously got to get my skates on. Ideally, I would wait until Katrina was three or fourish but at my age that is just not sensible.

So, I guess my question is twofold. Firstly, has anyone else had two very close together at 40ish? And secondly, regardless of your age or how close together your babies were, did you find that their temperaments were similar or very different. (I'm guessing the latter!)

My mum has always told me that Baby No. 1 is always an angel and Baby No. 2 is the troublemaker otherwise no-one would have a second. Obviously that's a massive generalisation so interested in hearing everyone's thoughts. (I was Baby No. 2!)
