Hey guys,

It also shows that my bgv is completed but I have'nt recieved myoffer letter it has been more than a week. I also have a service agreement to fill it requires my date of joining which I think will be in my offer letter. Can any one help me and say how will this move from now.

Stopping by to say I’m 41 with a 4 year old and my “cut off” for a second one is 43 so you seem very young. Ha. Bless all of you who are managing with two during this pandemic. Esp at our “advanced maternal age.” 🤪

D2 that makes me feel better! My dr said the same. The whole thing is hilarious.
I had kids in that spread, at that same age. It’s a really great age proximity! Now 2 and 4, they play together all the time (and fight) but the relationship is awesome to see!
In terms of two. Someone told me when I was pregnant with my second “you thought you had no free time with one, but you realize how much time you had, and now you have none”. It’s so true. BUT it’s also entirely doable and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
You can do it!
I just had my second 3 weeks ago and my first is 3. I’m 39. I’m actually finding it easier with the second because I know what to expect. It also helps that my 3 year old is very helpful and more independent. I’m sure it will get harder once my newborn is crawling and walking though.
Biggest adjustment is having even less money
If you try to rationalize it, you can’t. We make it work and we’re definitely not struggling. You just have to make decisions about how you spend your money. And to the person who said you will have to take staycations - you can, but I haven’t. There is a lot of fun to be had on the cheap and semi cheap.
I was 40 with my first and 42 with my 2nd. We knew we wanted more than one child, so there was no time like the present. That said, I found out I was pregnant before my son’s 1st birthday. We were a little freaked out. :) It’s overwhelming to think about, but the thing is - you just adjust. All of a sudden there’s another little one along for the ride. Go for it - having 2 is a good time.

Thank you! You’re right. There’s no rule book I guess!
I had my first at 37 and second at 39 (today is my son’s 7th birthday, actually!). My daughter is 21 months older so their age difference was perfect for us. When they were smaller, it was HARD. Similar to GD1, my free time went from little to none. But I relied heavily on my husband and sitters/family to tag team so I still got my me time. Now, they are best friends and it is SO EASY. I was also in complete “mom fog” until both kids were completely sleeping through the night. For us, that didn’t happen until my son was 2.5 years old. But I remember that when it did happen, I felt like I got some of my brain back that I thought I had lost forever!
As everyone else here has said the lack of time, you really do notice how much free time you had with just one. But beyond that, it’s the body bounce back that was also noticeably different for me. With the first one (was 33) and things were pretty easy to get back in shape at 37 for the 2nd it was much harder. Took a year.
Totally agree with this. It’s easier to hand off one and be alone than it is to hand off two. Usually a break means handing off one and taking the easier one along to whatever I’m doing.
I just had my 2nd a few months ago. Our 1st is 2.5 years old. It was a much easier adjustment to go from 1 to 2 as opposed to 0 to 1. But as others have mentioned, you have zero time to yourself. I can't wait til they can play together and keep each other company.
My first little ones are 2 years apart. Then there are 3 years between the last 2 little ones. I honestly thought the 2 year age gap was way easier. Having a little one when the bigger ones were already over diapers and sleeping through the night, it really felt like starting over. Good luck with whatever you decide!
It’s a little easier in the sense of you know what to expect, but so much more challenging bc if you thought you had no time with one - just wait. We just had our 2nd baby this summer and my oldest is 4. Everything is different now in Covid era too so hard to know what’s Covid related and what’s just the standard hard. Either way - do it.
