So how far apart did you have your kids? Did you wait too long in between, did you have them too close together...or just the right amount???
Just kindov wondering.....don't worry, nothing is in the works yet.

LOL....I'm not sure! There may not be! I guess I'm wondering more what it was like having them closer together and how crazy it was having 2 little ones around!

I picked mine up all at the same time. It was a buy 1 get 2 free sale so I jumped on it.
There's 14 mos. between the 1st two and then 4 years until the next one.

well Hannah JJ and Abby are real close.
Abby is about the same age across the board functionally as Hannah. Hannah is even a little ahead.
It is lots of diapers now and everything happens at the same time but we get to do things all at the same time i.e. diapers for only a set number of years. Once Hannah is potty trained we are done. It is not real spaced out so we do, 2 years of terrible twos not breaks in between. I actually rather have it this way.

13 months between Stormie and Sterling. 10 years between Sterling and Sawyer.
Sterling was the surprise, Sawyer was planned, but it took about 3 years to get him. difficult work, but I was able to do it

When we started thinking of kid 2, we thought that it was a good age difference. We didn't want them too far apart.

My kidlets are 3 1/2 years apart. I thought it was perfect. When the second kidlet was born, the oldest was getting some independence and could do a lot of things for himself.
