  Re: My son only turned 1 resently and I found out Im 2months pregnant AGAIN!!!!! Reply Contact Well, I can tell you, right now, that you won't be able to cope if that's what you think........You can do it, you just have to know you can, or at least say you can. You may have to encourage yourself, sometimes. Do you have a husband/someone to help you? I can understand to some extent, being 36 weeks and a son about to turn 2. I stressed at first and still do, to some extent, but you gotta shake it off, know that you have a job to do, and do it to the best of your abilities. God would not give you anything more than you can handle. Just don't try to handle it alone - He wants to help you, so rely on Him. You may not be able to do certain things, but God can, and He can help you do anything you need to do. Sorry, I went on, there......but, you just can't let yourself think for one minute that you can't do this! Your mind is either your biggest enemy or your best friend! Don't get sucked in to thinking negetive thoughts........not only for you, but for BOTH of your children. May God bless you and if you know anyone who prays, ask for them to pray for you, it will help. Much love to you, honey, LP*

I can honestly not imagine raising another child, where am I going to get strenth to do so. I know there is so many people who does it, I dont know if I will be able to cope.   My first two are 14 months apart, and I'm going to have my third any day now (um, due LAST WEEK) with the 2nd and 3rd being 2 years apart (my son turned 2 a week ago). I'll have 3; 3 and under. My daughter didn't sleep fully through the night until past a year, my son until almost a year. I was also a full time student while working full time until my son (my second) turned 1. I continued to work full time until he was almost 20 months, and now, although not working full time anymore, I am back in school part time. You will find the strength to have two children, and if you honestly feel you cannot -- there are alternatives to parenting, and it doesn't make you a bad person to consider them. I'm 21 years old and couldn't imagine my life any other way than it is... at least with young ones close together they usually take on similar routines. You'll find that after a certain amount of time they'll tend to nap and play at the same time, allowing you a little time to yourself! Good luck!
