O/T- 2 under 2, advice/experience!
For bio moms with kids close in age, do you have any advice for the first days/weeks/months?
I only have 6 weeks till my due date and I'm starting to get nervous. DS is 17 months. He's really bright for his age, but obviously a very young toddler. He's also not used to sharing mom at all since I stay at home. He's a total momma's boy.
I want to help him have a smooth adjustment (as much as possible, anyway). Anything you'd care to share?

The best piece of advice I
The best piece of advice I can offer is this: try to include him in everything you can (handing you a diaper, etc.) and make sure he still gets some of you all to himself.
They will be VERY close in age, so be prepared for competition for many years to come.
He'll definitely like that.
He'll definitely like that. He loves to help me- though of course he's still at an age where that usually makes more work :).
Oh I can only imagine the competition, especially since they're both boys! It should be interesting.
I had thought of a doll, but
I had thought of a doll, but dh was firmly against it so I let it go. We do put his baby giraffe to "bed" and give him a bottle though and he's so sweet about giving him a million kisses.
I'm definitely going to try to give him as much time as possible. I'm just getting nervous about how I will manage everything. I'm due mid-July and go back to school at night in August. Add on dh, ss13, and housework..yikes.
gawd, i have to be honest i
gawd, i have to be honest i don't remember those first few days/weeks/months! LOL
All I think is "how did I do it?"
