I believe the baby is currently 7 months old.

Eh. It's not always awful. I love having my kids the same age. And I have more than one friend with children very, very close in age (2 under 2 and 3 under 3) and there is a ton of sibling love and play in those families.
Plus, she has all the help she needs.

I would love to have mine really close in age. But this is the girl who can't even get PG with her first, LOL!

Plenty of people do this.

My sister and I were a year and 8 days apart.

Yup. My sister and I are 10 months apart.

I might actually do that if we decide to have a third.

I want to get through the baby stage.

Something tells me that she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and she believed that she couldn't get PG while nursing...and she believed them.

JS has the gestation period of an elephant, so those kiddos will be like two years apart.

My niece and nephew are 20 months apart, it was a bit tough watching them together but really not too much worse than just watching one of them. They're 19yo and 20yo currently...my SIL never mentioned any ill effects of having them close together, so I'm not real sure how horrible or not horrible it is to have them close together. She did wait a little longer (around 4 years?) for their 3rd child although I don't exactly know if that was planned or not

I think, for me, kids that close in age is crazy. But then my situation is different. I can't imagine going through all the stuff we went through with Edmund while I was pregnant. I had nightmares about that and just being an absolute mess while my child needed me the most.

Having kids that close together doesn't really give your body time to recover.

Cute announcement picture!

I too have heard its best to give your body time to recover, but it can work out ok. Layla was 9 months when I got pregnant with Mariam and it was my best pregnancy yet. I felt great, my delivery was relatively easy and recovery has been good compared to the others.

I didn't plan to have them close in age and even though I like it and they will be super close, it's also really tough dealing with a newborn and toddler. I'm sure she can easily get a nanny or any additional help if she needs it.

4 years!!! Freakishly long pregnancies. Though I suspect the duchesses' will feel that long too.*

*Sorry for insinuating in any way the pregnancies are comparable.

[housegeek]

My kids are 15 months apart and my body is/was fine Normal healthy easy pregnancies and L&D. I'm sure if I was high risk for the first one it would be true though. I love having them so close.

I wonder how this will affect her weight watchers, I saw her commercial a couple times today.

[alzi]

the thought of getting pregnant with a baby that young scares the crap out of me. i think i'm gonna need a few years before i can be convinced to do this again.
