I have Irish twins (11 months and 3 days apart) and I LOVE it!!! We had our 3rd close together as well, and were trying for the 4th to be just as close, but nature had other plans (and another surprise baby to add!!!) I can't say enough though how fun it is to have kids close together. The first few months are definately challenging, and even today, we have our moments, but there is nothing like seeing all your kids interact the way they do when they are so close in age!!! Don't worry too much....you will get through those first few months, and then the fun begins!!!
