Second, do...First off, Congrats on the pregnancy!!! <BR/><BR/>Second, double diaper duty isn't all that bad. You are so used to changing diapers that it really didn't faze me much. <BR/><BR/>Third, definitely go with the tandem stroller. Most of them will let you snap in the infant carrier. You also don't wanna have to worry about your "big kid" bothering your "little kid". When I had Ellianna I couldn't get Ethan to keep his hands off of her. The tandem stroller I had was nice because you could have both kids facing the same direction or turn around the front seat so they can face each other. The seats also reclined for napping. The side-by-side ones can be hard to get through doorways and aisles in stores too. <BR/><BR/>Fourth, Having kids close in age can be stressful sometimes but it is also wonderful. I have four kids under age 6. They play great together and keep each other busy, but they do fight sometimes. I think that's normal for any siblings, regardless of the age gap. I'm sure you'll do fine.Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17829589363243126112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291781979633543052.post-51741573313531458852008-03-25T14:42:00.000-07:002008-03-25T14:42:00.000-07:00Ha!

We'll both just be tired for 2 years straight.<BR/><BR/>The stroller option: I think the one-behind-the-other one is good because you can probably lay the seats back for naps (oh how precious naps will be!)<BR/><BR/>:) I feel your "pain"! Although for some reason, the diaper issue doesn't really bug me....<BR/><BR/>yet.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07066568454238763590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291781979633543052.post-27631787293368775762008-03-24T13:31:00.000-07:002008-03-24T13:31:00.000-07:00Thanks to everyone for your positive words.

And when you have #3 they will have each other to keep occupied. And then when you have #4 they can both help with that one too as well as #5 , LOL!The Rose Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09149161660371666168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291781979633543052.post-86073412091005591572008-03-20T19:26:00.000-07:002008-03-20T19:26:00.000-07:00Congratulations on your new baby on the way!
