Thoughts on a 3 year age gap

    @Zbug: We always planned for a two year gap. After a traumatic birth experience I was afraid of pregnancy and birth again and dragged my feet. Sometimes I feel sad about the gap (like being in different schools more often than the same), but it was so nice to not have two so young at the same time and it has been great. Our 14m and 4y adore each other and it has been a great age gap for us.

    @Boogs: The school thing has crossed my mind too. I feel like my friends who went to high school at the same time as a sibling were closer to them. I am hoping we can squeeze in with LO #1 a senior and LO #2 a freshman!

    @daniellemybelle: As someone closer in age to a sibling during high school, sometimes it was cool, and sometimes we wanted our own space.

    Having 2 under 2 years apart was so hard. Seeing how kind and helpful my 3.5 year old is now, and seeing the contrast with my 1.5 year old who is nearly as old as her sister was when she was born, I find myself thinking how much easier it would have been to have a 3-4 year gap. I'm so very happy with the gap we have now, but for that first year of babyhood, it would have been so much less stressful if my oldest had been older.
