@deseree Thank you! I'm not sure maybe Chattanooga. I have just heard Tennessee is beautiful and peaceful-that is what my husband and I would love! =)

@deseree not on boys really.. but in general just make sure the oldest gets plenty of attention from you and others so they dont start acting out and making life real hectic

@Courtlynn that's actually something im scared of. That i won't show my oldest enough attention. He already acts out now. He wants to be wrapped in my arms constantly or holding my hand which i love so much but it makes it pretty hard to do things with out hik crying or throwing a major tantrum.

I have 2 boys, they are now 28 and 29, born 364 days apart. They call that Irish Twins. Now that they are adults I have two daughters, their wives. I love my boys, too, more than anything in this world.

@deseree Well, it's too late for you to get lots of sleep! 
My oldest was walking at 10 months so he enjoyed going to get me diapers or wipes or even a bottle out of the fridge when he was a year old. Let your older boy be helpful! Mine loved to help with his brother and as he got older he played well with him. It gives them confidence to do things for you and the sibling, they feel proud of themselves and they should!
Start talking to your son about the coming baby and let him help you put laundry away, get him involved in all the chores he is able to do. Start putting things in the fridge for him low enough to get like fruit cups, sippy cups, things he can serve himself if you are busy. Also you can give him a space in a cupboard where you can keep containers of Cheerios or other non-sugary, fairly healthy snacks. Have him "read" to the baby even before it is born by going through a picture book and telling a story. Keep him involved and encourage independence.
But watch out...later on when they are 2-3 or older they will tag team you. One will distract you while the other does something they aren't supposed to, usually something dangerous like jumping off the kitchen table or sneaking out the back door or go somewhere they aren't supposed to.

I wanted to have kids at early age, but here in India generally you have to get married to have child, and to get married you have to be well settled so it took more time.............and I became very late else my daughters would have been 15 and 16 by now. which are just 5 and 6
