Congrats, STBmom, on the Montessori school; it sounds ideal. And a big CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy as well. How are you feeling?

My youngest (DS8 and DD6) are two years apart and I think it's a great age span. They have the occasional squabble, of course, but they're excellent friends and have so much fun together. It has been clear from the start that DD6 much prefers DS8 over anyone else in the family, including me. :-)

Going from one to two children can feel like a big adjustment, and overwhelming at times. But don't worry too much about the logistics... you really will figure it all out as you go.

Happy for you...
