You will have your hands full! It's exhausting to have two little ones, but you will have so much fun with them.
My boys are only 13 months apart, which was hard. I think it was worse than having twins, because at least twins would've been at the same stage at the same time. It was hard juggling 2 schedules at once. One would go down for a nap, and the other one would just be waking up! I was so exhausted! By the time my husband walked in the door, I was so ready to hand the boys over to him. I felt like the boys were permanently attached to me! I'd have to peel them off of me! Ha!
We have photos of me nursing the youngest and playing "horsey" with the 13-month-old (bouncing him up and down on my foot) at the same time. Crazy, but I had to keep both of them happy, didn't I?
I never would've survived without great friends/neighbors who were in the same situation. None of us had family in state, so we took turns watching each other's kids when we had to go somewhere, like to a doctor's appointment.
And I would've never made it without a double stroller---that I used until it literally fell apart.
Hopefully, you won't have 2 in diapers for very long, if any time. That will help to have Noah potty trained. And he's old enough to help a little with the baby. (my 13-month-old used to bring me diapers for his brother!) At least he can keep his sibling entertained!!
And they will have a great time together. I never had to schedule a play date for them. They always had someone to play with.
When I see a mother with only one baby, it looks so EASY to me. I never really got much time alone with my first one. I only remember having 2 babies!
Oh, those were the days! I can't believe they will both be in college next year. Boo-hoo!
