My babe that arrived in December came just 13 months after my last. I thought it was going to be hard, but in reality, you learn to live with whatever God gives you. His sister had a lot of adjusting to do with me busy with baby, but it didn't take too long. You just learn to roll with the punches. I'm sure it helps that I am laid back, and don't need my house to look perfect.
You won't know what to expect, because nothing is ever the same as it is for others.
And just to throw this out there for you.....5 kids is no big deal.

thanks girls, this baby was not planned at all but im getting excited about it now, im thinking of having my tubes tyed this time as i seem to fall pregnant far too easily, i was on the pill when i had my son at 16, i was on the 3 month injection when i fell pregnant with my daughter, then in 2007 i had that 3 year bar (implanon) in my arm and i had a stillborn son at 28 weeks, last year we decided to try for our baby in Feb and i was pregnant by March this time it was a burst condom, i got the morning after pill the next day but obviously this baby was meant to be, i was terrified at 1st but its sunk in over the few months so i think rather than having 5 kids i should get some permanent contraception!! :) xx

Sorry - no advice just a huge CONGRATULATIONS!!

oh.. just thought you should make sure you get lots of rest and let your older children run around after you!

I think it is great to have children close together and we are trying for our second already too :)

All the best xx
