[Roxx1516]

Just thought it would be nice for us all to compare our baby bumps. I'm 16 weeks :) with a Boy!

This was taken @ 39+2 now nearly 40 weeks and patiently waiting Haha... good luck ladies xx

@keepingfaith your ready to pop then :) do you no what your having ? X

Roxx... certainly feels like it!! Baby boy! How’re you feeling??

Aw another boy here congrats! :) im having boy too, pregnancys going well at the moment, I'm dreading the birth and the after pains though as it's my third haha I think this is my last child though so I wanna try enjoy the pregnancy. You ready and packed then are you? X

I'm 24 weeks with my first baby, no idea if it's boy or girl.
I'm starting to get bigger each week

@cherryontop you've got such a cute lil bump for 24 weeks :) il guess a girl! I feel so big for 17 weeks though aha 🙈 x

29 weeks over here! Also, 10 months post Partum 🙈

@autumleaves so your going to have to children 12 months apart ? I also have two children 12 months apart 🙈 Luckily this is my 3rd so there will be a 3 year age gap aha. Do you no what your having ? X

Second little bub is due three weeks after our first son turns one! I still can't quite believe it 😅
How did you find it having two so close together? Please say it's bearable haha. I'm so excited but a bit anxious too if I'm being honest. All of my family and friends keep telling us we're insane which isn't helping matters lol.
I decided to keep it a surprise this time! X

@autumleaves congrats! I have two boys 12 months and 1 day apart 🙈So I deffo no how hard it is, and yes it is bearable IF you try and get yourself in a manageable routine, it's extremely hard getting up every 2-3 hours with a newborn and a 1 year old every night but I learnt to manage and I found going to bed a lot earlier helped me get a bit more sleep, prepare your self for long nights and tiring days but remember that the first few months are the hardest BUT it will pass and does get easier. The Good always out weighs the bad. I can honestly say my boys are the closest iv ever known two children to be they adore eachother and I love how close they are, looking back I think it was hard but I got through it and Iv had some wonderful memories with them. Just remember to look after yourself and ask for help when you need it, even just having 10 mins to yourself helps when your stressed. Everyone said we was mad too haha but honestly it flew by. And I wouldn't change anything now for the world. They are so special to me and there bond is heartwarming. Good luck with everything though! And PM me if you ever need any advice or anything :) x

Oh that's so lovely! I'm pleased to hear it's not a total nightmare 🙈 I'm really looking forward to the two of them having that close bond. I'm an only child and always wanted a brother or sister so although I definitely didn't plan on having my children quite this close together, I am pleased they'll always have each other and get to experience what it's like having a sibling.

The routine aspect I'm a little afraid of as my son is a bit of a rubbish sleeper, he was from birth and I've sort of come to accept the fact he's a shit napper and still wakes a lot through the night. My main concern is that we'll finally get DS on a somewhat respectable sleeping pattern then his little sibling is going to come along and keep him up all night. Luckily quite a few family members have already offered their future help and support should things get a little overwhelming so I'm hoping it'll go as smoothly as can be haha.
Thank you lovely xx

Yea course it's a big thing to go through but like I said it get so much easier, I don't no where the time went haha. I worried that is just got 1st child in routine and thought the new baby would ruin that but he didn't, don't me wrong my newborn did wake son up in the night but I'd settle him straight back down and after a while he got used to his lil bro waking him up in the night and used to just sleep through it. Sometimes I'd ask partner to feed eldest a bottle while I sorted newborn out and fed him and changed him etc and that helped a lot, I'd also have a nap in the day if they did too just so I could catch up on some sleep cuz I'm a zombie without it haha. It is a worrying time on how you'll cope and how your first child will take to having a new sibling but I wouldn't worry at all, I wasted ALOT of time worrying about things and in the end it was all fine and I remember thinking why did I worry so much I had no reason to. My son took to his new brother so so well and I was totally shocked but relieved, and they wouldn't be without each other now, they literally do everything together and they love waking up together and playing toegether and having breakfast together, they will soon be in school with each other too which is lovely cuz they will have eachother which I also never had that. Enjoy it all tho, it's flys by! And cherish those moments because there toddlers before you not it 🙈 Xx
