I feel your pain! My son was only 4 months old when I found out I was pregnant again. I was scared to death and I had three older children at the time...so baby made 5. Every baby is a gift and I believe meant to be. You will be fine! You need to build yourself a good support group of family or friends. I hope the father of your children is in the picture and is willing to help. If not there is plenty of help out there. Just make sure you have someone you can count on in place before the new baby comes. You can always write to me when you are discouraged and I will help where I can. Good luck.

you will be fine. just love your babys.

My eldest and my daughter were born eleven months apart. Needless to say our beautiful little girl was a bit of a surprise. The first year of her life was a bigger adjustment than I expected - dealing with a newborn and another child who is still such a baby was a lot of work. But I wouldn't change their age difference for anything now. They are such good friends and make my day to day life much easier by simply having each other. And when we added a third it was the biggest cake walk - nothing could scare me! My only advice to you is to accept help when it is offered to you - especially in the first year - and do not be shy in asking for help. And most importantly - keep your sense of humor - remember your life is incredibly blessed!
