What’s the ideal age space between two babies?
This is a question I never really asked myself because I wanted to enjoy every single moment with my daughter. All my friends were planning their second baby by the time the first was going to pre-school.
I couldn’t settle myself to this common idea of a 3-year gap between babies. Having close pregnancies were not something I was very appealed to either.

Have you ever wondered, how the HECK am I supposed to find the time to take care of myself when I have a baby who demands ALL of my attention?
Am I being selfish for wanting to feel good about myself again after I’ve had a baby?
Believe me, I can totally relate to these thoughts and feelings!

So you’re in the doctor’s room, being poked and prodded in a most undignified way.
I guess you have to accept that it’s par for the course when you’re pregnant.
All your dignity goes out the window. But finally the grainy image appears on the screen and you feel all gooey because you see your little bean in there.
Until the doc says with a delighted giggle: “Oh wait, there are two.”
Finding out you are having twins is pretty shocking.

So your BFF is becoming a new mom! Whether you are a mom or not, you might be wondering what you can do to help.
