[quote=Anonymous]Our 2nd was a breeze - a little over a 3.5 year age gap, the newborn phase was blissful, and she was an easy peasy addition to our family. I think this is because our first baby (DS) was so hard and it was a very tough time for DH and me. It took us a couple years to find our parenting groove.

Kids are 7 and 3.5 now and it is challenging! They love each other and play well together for the most part, but the bickering can be insane. Both DH and I WOH/WAH depending on the day, so we manage two different drop-offs/pickups. The weekday mornings and evenings can get wild and stressful, and although we do fun family stuff on the weekends we also have bday parties, activities, etc. for two kids who are at very different places developmentally and socially. Once both kids are in ES I anticipate things will  be simpler at least from a child care and activity perspective, but no less busy.

We love having two, no regrets, but I'm sure we would have also been happy as a family of three. There's more to consider than the initial baby phase![/quote]
