Hi My girls are exactl 24 motnhs and 3 days apart, I had lots of preterm labor with my second and other issues,my youngest has cerebral palsey, but only very mild. Despite all this I found that after an intial warm up time you end up falling into a normal pace and although it isn't the easiest thing in the world to take of to children that young it's also very rewarding and more often then not a laugh riot. My girls are very close, adore each other and are very affectionate. Which I believe has more to do with them being close in age then gender. By the way they were both in diapers for a while and that was no biggie either. In fact I think it encouraged my oldest to potty train. I wouldn't worry you'll do great and remember take each day with humor because in the end 1 or 2 it's all the same work. p.s. my oldest loved helping with the baby yours will to I imagine
