[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats! My DD was also SUPER excited about another DD. Although, the second we got home she realized newborn was always with sleeping or nursing. This was VERY hard on her, for months, despite trying to take time to spend quality time with my first. She didn't understand newborns don't "play" and aren't interactive. Finally once my second started smiling and interacting, my first was "into" her more. But seriously, the jealousy was real. Now that my second is one, they play together and my first is much, much happier. Just want to point out it might not be all rainbows and such. On the other hand, 5 year old is a little more independent and can help, play by herself, etc. There are definitely pros to having the wide age gap. [/quote] This was my experience as well - they are now 5 and 10 and sometimes the best of friends and sometimes annoy each other - just like all siblings;)[/quote]
