We thought we were "one and done" and then baby fever reared its head. I was really worried that they wouldn't bond, but they are absolutely in love with each other. I also like that they have a sibling, but also get to each have an only child experience of sorts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-are-your-first-two-children#post-1142419 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 11:09:53 +0000 littlek 1142419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet, but hoping for 2 - 2.5 year age gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-are-your-first-two-children#post-1142357 Thu, 10 Oct 2013 10:45:14 +0000 yin 1142357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They will be 2.5 years apart, and I think that's a good age.
