My kids will be 13-14 months apart. I would've preferred them to be atleast 24 months apart but things happen. Im happy with it now.

my friend on here is doing the same thing. She has her first two kids close together right now and is planning on waiting a few more years then having a second set of two close together. She says she likes doing it in pairs and wants the kids to have a sibling close in age to play with and whatnot.

By the time this baby comes my first son will be a few months shy of 4. I wanted them to about two years apart but that didn't happen. I like this seperation better though. Zachariah will have mommy and me time like Isaiah did while Isaiah is in school so it worked out well.

They're inseparable! I love their relationship. The older, two of course. For example, my son is home sick with a sore throat and he keeps asking when it's going to be time to pick up his sister from school! So cute... He'll be her protector when they get older...

Thanks for posting this for me  

I was going to wait until the first was about 1 year old before TTC again...but now I'm thinking of starting when he is much younger. I wouldn't mind having my kids go through the same phases at about the same time. Also, I'm going to be 30 when the first is born, so I don't want to be too old

my mom was 29 when she had me and 42 when she had my sister .. so don't worry too much about being too old. =D

When Amelia is about 6 months old we are going to start to discuss the plan for TTC again, we want our kids close in age but I also want to make sure my body is healed and that I'm emotionally ready to TTC again.
We would *hope* they are no more than 2 years apart, even so we would like them closer in age. I want to have three back to back and have them grow up together.

But we all know when it comes to "planning" TTC - it never works just how we expect it to!

Thats an awesome way of doing it. I have always wanted pairs, just so there isn't that loneliness. I came from a family of 3 girls, I was the eldest. There was an 9 and 11 year age gap between me and my two younger sisters and it was terrible. It was great having siblings dont get me wrong, but it would of been so much better closer in age and my Mum agrees. They are really close, but I never had that closeness they do. I told my Husband before we even started TTC #1 that if it was to happen, a #2 would be right around the corner and if there was a #3 a #4 would follow

When I was little I would say I wanted 4. Then I had my first and decided that perhaps 2 would be enough, LOL! My third came and I thought I was done. Told the Dr. I wanted to get my tubes tied and everything but when the time came to do it, my husband BEGGED me not to. He said that I may feel like I was done but that I didn't know how I would feel 5 years from now. I didn't go through with it on the off chance that I might want another one later on down the line.... Later came a lot sooner than expected! Besides I didn't want my little girl to have middle child syndrome since her mama suffered from it, LOL! It's a lot of work but a lot of fun too.
