You Know You Have 2-Under-2 When:

  1. You want to buy a “Big Brother” shirt for your 15-month-old at Mothercare but the smallest they have is 24-36 months
  2. Whenever the baby is on the floor you feel the need to put protective head gear on him
  3. People make jokes regularly about how breastfeeding does not always prevent pregnancy
  4. Your collegues in other offices (especially the US) are shocked to find out that you’re pregnant AGAIN, saying things like, “Didn’t you just come back?”…er, yes.
  5. Other participants in mum and baby classes look at you with a mixture of pity, horror and relief (that it’s not them)
  6. You’re convinced the baby needs his nappy changed, only to find out that it’s perfectly clean. Guess it must be the other one, then…
  7. Your front hall is full of at least four different types of prams, strollers, car seats and the dreaded double buggy
  8. Speaking of the double buggy, you can no longer get through most London doorways, onto most buses and people are constantly saying, “Oh, I didn’t realise there were TWO in there!!”
  9. Your toddler’s favourite toy is your electric breast pump- he enjoys dancing to the rhythm
  10. Family trips in the car mean sitting sideways in the backseat wedged between the carseats, climbing into the front seat to get out at the rest stops/ services
