mine r both born in may, ones 16m n ones 4m.....its harder then i imagend...,not the care side of things but the travel....takes me forever to get out the door n then once im out negotiating of paths n shop isles is sometimes hell with a double buggy.i keep telling myself it will get easyer, but im probly kiddin myself lol....wudnt change things tho , love my girls 2 bits

I have a 2.6yo and a 15mo (15 month gap). Due dc3 soon and will have a 19 month gap - 3 under 3 for 2 months. I must say I LOVE having them close together, and have never wanted a bigger gap, but I'm VVVV lucky it's happened how I wanted it. As hard as it is it's lovely to see them playing together, and it'll be nice to get the baby stage out of the way in one go (although 3 teenagers !!) It is a pain getting in and out of places and car etc, and I'll probably have to start getting them in the car 30mins before need to leave when have 3..but soon they'll all become dependent one after the other. Obviously we have some horrendous days but mostly it's good if we get out and about
