how far apart? I have two that are about 19 months apart. It is trying at times. I would suggest that you make sure that your first is really excited about the new baby. I did this with watching those baby stories where the babies are born and getting my dd a baby doll to play with. The only problem now is that she loves her brother very hard and much. Congrats on the new baby. sewing will be very hard for you now. there is almost no time to sew unless you have a sewing area in their play area, which is a pain in the tush. good luck and keep us posted.
