mine are 17 months apart. You will be busy as shite for the next 4 years, but having a built-in playmate is very helpful later

Our oldest are 19 months apart. It was hell on wheels for about 3 years until number 3 came along and we switched from man to man defense to zone. It’s the only option. It is better to have them all close together though.

U ain’t lying. They had RSV prior to hand foot and mouth. I developed a nasty cold with an mild ear infection. I’m still dealing with this weird ear infection. It’s not painful but there is weird feelings I experience still. I say weird bc it’s not painful but def. feel something periodically thought the day. My doctor gave me a shot and it worked for about 10 days. Then I started with these mild symptoms again. He put me on augmentin for 12 days and that didn’t work. Saw a specialist Friday who said it allergies and not getting sleep like I did prior to babies, my immune system sucks.
It’s been about 1.5 months with this
I know my porch time after the kids go down doesn’t help but I like me a few beers at night.

My problem is I don’t think younger college girls could handle watching two that close in age. So our date nights are few and between. Only trust my sister and her family to watch them.
She did recently tell us to take a date night every month so that helps. She knows it’s been a lot of work and knows I’m itching at the feet to get nights to spend with my wife

So then you’re essentially taking care of multiple diaper-babies instead of spacing out 2-3 years so the older ones are easier/more self-sufficient. And 2-3 years isn’t so long that you’re that far out of the routine.

Sounds like a living nightmare... congratulations?

I work so I have it easier than her. I always handled the night time routine with bathing them etc
My routine doubled and it was slightly overwhelming. I’m zoned in and it’s nothing now. Took me a month to acclimate.
I couldn’t imagine doing the stay at home for 8 hours a day. My woman is truly a rock star. Moms don’t get enough credit especially if it’s multiple children that close in age. I try to ease the load as much as I can on weekends especially but that also was a learned process for me. I think I’m in a great groove now. She has noticed that I’ve up my game

You’re right about that man. I work shift work so the hardest part with #1 for me was coming home at 5 am to her still struggling with the kid. Now that he’s older it’s easy and he could sleep through a nuclear strike so hopefully the newest woke wake the oldest.

Do you not have any friends you could’ve shared this with?

So my first has been difficult to say the least. Terrible sleeper, eater, and didn’t walk till 18 months.
He was focused on talking. I’ll say this, it’s crazy how well he can speak. Everyone is blown away.
The 11 month old is totally opposite. Eats excellent, sleeps well, etc.
That said, she wants one more!!!!! I do not. So that’s where we are at. I probably could handle it but I kind of want to get these boys raised to focus back on some vacations and date nights.
Most likely 3 will happen bc I constantly playing Russian roulette when we do it

I dread the daycare cost for 2 kids. My wife talks about having another baby, but we pay 10k+ per year in daycare and I can't imagine having two in daycare at the same time.
If you have family to watch them or your wife doesn't work then you'll be fine.
I would have to donate plasma to afford another kid.

18 months apart is not ideal. If I had to do it over again, I would pick 3 years apart. Ours are almost 2.5 years apart. It was rough with two in diapers for almost six months.

Get your sleep now...
It's a bigger jump from 1->2 kids than it was from 0-1.

2 kids is more than twice the work of 1 kid.
