Just found out I'm expecting no. 2 DD will be 19 mo on my due date. I'd be very interested to hear any stories / experience from anyone with a similar age gap between siblings. In particular, how much will she understand about what's going on? I've been reading about how to prepare the older child and how to minimise the upset of the new arrival, but it all applies to children over 2. DD is still only 11 months so I've no idea what a 19-mth-old is like and capable of!
