ugh, i'm #1. My sister and I fight all the time! My mom said that the second is less painless cuz you've been through it already, lol

umm. i dont no 4 sure im only 13... but im gessing the 2nd is easier because u no what to expect.

I'm only 12! Ask your mom!

um... im sure its fine!

Two babies would definitly be a lot more work - considering the age! Just make sure you and your wife are well-prepared, and this shouldn't be too much of a hassle for you! =)
Congratualtions on baby #2!

ok me and my sis are born one year apart and its ok we have fights and all but we like get over them the next day . and the only thing that really matters is that u are good parents and u give each the same amount of atention.
good luck *merle
p.s. iam the first child.

It is much difficult with the second child because if he's never been with the first brother he has no-one to look up to and he'll blaim you for just meeting his brother when he's much more mature.

i may not have a child ;), but itz easier. well, it depends on the child.... but it still is easier! cause now yu guyz are experienced and yu dont have 2 go thru the worry's and 'i dont know wat to do' things yu had with yur first baby. my mother had 4 kids (i'm #2) and she said that #2 is so much easier than the first cause yu actually kno wat yu are doin! hehe, she just said the child is always different and acts differently, but good luck! and dont worri! yu guyz will b fine!

Well, I'm not a mother, but my mom has "irish twins" too and no, 2 kids is more work, but not much different. 3 is WAY different than two, but two is fun. Congratulations!!!!

How do you mean "easier or more difficult"?<br>
<br>
If labor, usually giving birth to #2 is easier - and faster - much faster - like, we almost gave birth to Matt in the van faster...<br>
<br>
If by how it is at home - it is all up to the baby. We got lucking in that #2 was a very laid-back baby. Of course, he's now currently an insane toddler running amok, but he was a very easy baby. His older brother was a cholicky baby at first - cried and screamed for 4 months - and then became the much more laid back kid that he is now.<br>
<br>
If by the pregnancy in general, certain aspects were better, others worse for my wife. Nausea was better with #2 - however, it has been worse with #3 (due in May). The various aches and pains are pretty much at random. Energy levels are stull just as up and down. Things to be aware of are stuff like gestational diabetes - if your wife had it or was boarderline with #1, she could have it again with #2 - so it might be worth looking at controlling her diet a bit early on to help out with the possibility.<br>
<br>
Beyond that, this is all I can think of at the moment.<br>
<br>
Good luck with #2 - I can't imagine having them that close together. My wife's oldest brother and 2nd oldest sister are Irish twins, I believe. Her mom seemed to do fine with them (she had 5 kids in 6 years).
