There are a few ladies swaying pink while bf :)
My AF usually returns once baby starts solids and bfs a little less. Started taking vitex today so hoping that hurries it along. Want a small gap this time but worried how I will cope with it as well as 2 older ones when hubby is on nights
I'm in the same boat! Most of my friends think I'm crazy to want such a small gap but I believe a lot of stuff I'm doing now can sway girl so might as well give it a go (while I'm young myself too!)
Are your eldest and middle son in full time school yet? Might take the edge off at least during the day? At the moment my boys are a nightmare at bedtime but hoping when eldest starts full time nursery in September he'll be so tired he will sort his body clock out and get to bed earlier.
How old are your two boys?Quote:

My two eldest are close and I want DS3 to be close to a younger sibling too. Also the sooner they are all at full time school the sooner I can get a job and provide a much needed second income! My eldest is in full time school and DS2 will be in September. They are quite good at bedtime, but I have to sit in the room till they are asleep. It's tricky when hubby is on nights and I have to keep a tired cranky baby quiet while they go to sleep.Quote:

The baby co sleeps. We are saving to buy a house but it will be a few years yet.
Awww I know how that goes hun!! We are outgrowing our flat and DH has suggested we move in with the out-laws so we can save for a deposit because one salary just doesn't allow us to save much sadly. I wouldn't mind it if my MIL was a bit more pleasant to be around sigh! Praying both our situations improve this year and we can our DDs too :fx:
How many rooms do you have? I think you can cope with less space than society thinks you need; as long as you are organised! I love IKEAs storage solutions, my living room also houses all the kids toys and the low level bunk bed is from there. They all pile in one bed together anyway, like puppies! Getting on the property ladder is so hard, but we are determined!
It's a two bedroom flat on the second floor so buggies etc have to stay in the car boot to save on storage space. So far DS2 is in his cot in our room but DS1 room not big enough for two cot beds so I guess they might be sharing a bed soon too lol We've held off on buying furniture as flat had sofas and we had our wardrobe, chest of drawers and bed from before but we have a ways to go before we buy our own.
How are you going on diet, etc so far?
My closest age gap was my favorite. :agree: Very difficult for a couple months here and there (that first month of course, and then there have been a couple phases where they were both tough simultaneously) but I preferred it to the 3.5 year age gap between my first two and my 2.5 year age gap between my last two. My two that are close, are very good friends and can play together.
Of course the 13 yr. age gap was pretty sweet too but I don't advise it!
I think every age gap has its good and bad points. I dont find young babies easy, all. of mine had colic, were (are!) poor sleepers. But that stage goes so fast even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. My friend has 3 girls and the oldest 2 are 14 months apart and very close.
Sweet mummy, am starting diet on Monday. Going to buy dream membership after pay day, have no money till then! Am using up all my naughty non swaying food this weekend. Started taking Vitex and folic acid already, hope AF returns soon! How about you?
