Yes, it is a tremendous amount of work. But I would do it this way every time.

I will agree that the work load seems constant and the quantity/quality of attention that each one gets is different and somtimes minimal or strained, BUT in God's sovereignty he decided to bless me with my two boys up to the very seconds that they are apart in age.

My only problem is that my youngest is growing faster than my oldest. My Asa was wearing nine month sizes until he was close to fifteen months old. My Eli is almost nine months old and moving into twelve month sizes already which I have virtually no summer clothes for Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065943827173945174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452802329695708276.post-44611294983307908262008-08-02T22:19:00.000-04:002008-08-02T22:19:00.000-04:00I think it's so neat how similar our boys are.

How precious! <BR/><BR/>I completely agree with your pros and cons. Joseph is very high need, but is getting so much more independent each day. Even though I absolutely love having children, I am definitely not ready for another one quite yet.

It was a whirlwind the first 6 months and I don't recall much, but it's getting easier and they LOVE eachother like I never could've immagined. I wouldn't do it again (have the third 20 months after the 2nd) but more power to you if you can just keep on going.
