Its called Irish twins. My aunt had a pair. My cousins are the same age two months out of the year.
You can do it, you'll be fine. Just accept and enlist the help of all who are willing.
Once you get through the infant stage you'll be fine, two toddlers are hard, but theyre much easier than infants. You'll make it!

I had my first after over 2 years of trying to get pregnant. We knew we wanted another one and didn't use any bc because we figured it would take a while. Well, it pretty much took 1 try the second time! LOL Our first 2 are 10 1/2 months apart. I'm not going to lie to you, it's tough at first but once you get past that it's great, the kids have an instant play companion! My best advice? get lots of help in the beginning...sleep when the babies sleep...do your best to get some alone time each day, even if it's just 15 minutes...when the newborn is old enough try to get the two of them on the same schedule as far as naps/sleeping...and maybe the hardest thing is that sometimes you are going to have 2 crying babies and you will have to take care of one at a time and let the other one cry for a minute or two and that's ok! they will be fine, YOU will be fine...somehow as mothers we just step up to the task. In the end the two kiddos will probably be great friends with lots in common. My oldest two are now 8 and 9 and the others are 3 and 4 and they are the best of friends and playmates (most days LOL)
Congrats, good luck, and don't worry, you'll be fine!

I haven't experienced it first hand, but my sister had her baby March 05 and she had her second June 06. She had a really hard time at the begining, but she got into a routine and everything is working out good for her now. It is not going to be easy, especially with them being so close in age and both demanding your attention, but in the long run it will all work out.

mine are 14.5 months apart. my daughter is 20 months and my son is just about 6 months old. i will tell you it is hard at first but once you get a schedule down its fine. some days are harder than others b/c you have two babies and they both require a lot of attention. but it works out for us...b/c they do not know life without eachother. dd wakes up looking for her brother and ds has to know where his sissy his all the time. its cute and most definately not impossible!! you will be just fine...just remember your life is not your own when they are both here...you can't act selfishly and expect to have a lot of you time b/c they do take all your time!! GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS!

I guess you are fertile that's for sure! My friend has kids this close in age and she had a hard time with the older child adjusting so make sure that you pay him a lot of attention when the baby comes.
