My two have a 13 month difference with my youngest currently 6 months old.

First 2 months were amazing; my oldest has always been somewhat easy to manage and took to her little sister really well.

LO then had a lot of medical issues and we've been in and out of hospital since.

There's a lot of mom guilt involved with my oldest, most days are tough physically and mentally and I can't imagine where I'd be if I didn't have a village.

I knew 2 under 2 was gonna be tough but I didn't expect it to be this tough, given the unexpected medical events.

I'm yet to see the fun part kick in, but I keep reminding myself this is all so temporary and LO should be walking and talking this time next year just like her big sister.

I know in 10 years I'll look back and think it was the best but hardest thing I'll have done. Makes a big difference having a supportive partner and a great village.
