I had my 2nd when our first wasn't 2 yet (she was 22 months). It's awful. You're more tired than ever. It hasn't been long enough that you forget how much sleep you lose to make it seem "cute" or "exciting". Everything just gets lumped together.

In the same position, with kids born April 2013, and September 2014. lol.
The good, or maybe bad part is that the wife wanted more than 2 kids, and now she wants to wait a while. Who knows, but I'd rather not go a couple years, and start the process over. Buck up and have some more close together!

My wife and I went to the beach yesterday and she insisted on going into the water knee deep...a pretty good sized wave came by and rocked us pretty good and she said, "I just felt my belly button pop out even farther!"

Sorry for reporting back late. The checkup on the 10th showed no contractions for a solid 20 minutes. I was prepared to head back to work when one contraction came and wouldn't you know it, the kid's pulse halved during the contraction.
Having had the same problem with our first, we decided then and there that we're not putzing around this time, kid is coming on the 10th, and that's that.
We had to wait for a few hours because other people were ahead of us but in the end I held a little baby girl in my arms three hours later.
Emma. 2.815 grams, 48 centimeters.
The doc said it was about time, water was green, trying a normal birth would have been not so smart.
Here she's doing what she does best.
When I brought my girls home after a week our big girl (almost three years old!) was so excited... I think she's in love.
She did sing her little sister a lullaby, and I swear, that was the best thing I've experienced in my life so far.

Nah, the doc found a way to get the kid out without flying in an expert from halfway around the world. Phew!

Update on the swelling. My wife suggested trying Witch Hazel. She had gone to a couple groups while pregnant and was told for perineum swelling to take a pad and soak it with WH and then put it in the freezer. When you have swelling wear the pad. Well I have a ton of gauze so I soaked some in WH and laid some squares out in a baggie and put it in the freezer. Once they were frozen I'd peel a square and apply. Well the swelling is almost completely gone and the pain is definitely all gone. Warning however. Sticking a frozen piece of gauze between your butt cheeks is VERY jarring at first. lol If you need to wake up quickly then by all means stick something cold/frozen between your butt cheeks. You'll wake up fast.

2 years different genders? Anecdotal, but me and my sister that is 2 years younger than me were in total competition and beat the shit out of each other until we were teens.

Haha well I just have one Ziploc freezer bag with the gauze so no space problems there.
And I tried both frozen and not frozen. The frozen gauze works a lot better.
And I apologize that update post was made i n entirely the wrong thread. I didn't notice until I made this post. I blame the heavy narcotic pain meds I'm on.
.Sorry bout that.

I'm close to you with regards to the separation between my son and daughter. One in January, then the second in July the next year. I like that they're close in age though. We decided to wait as well but when the time came to decide if we wanted another, looked at our lives, and with my son's autism, we decided it was best to stand pat. Got cut, moved on. I agree with Draegan though, when they're really young having them close together is fucking exhausting.
