We'll probably wait a little longer before number 3 though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281800 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:43:00 +0000 Mrs. Pen 281800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBehr: my sons birthday is Feb 22!! of this year?</p> <p>It will be awhile. If we had the money I'd had them close together, like 2 years or less, but we don't so it will probably he more like 3-4 years. I want C out of diapers and pretty independent since pregnancy was tough on me.</p> <p>I also want to lose 30 lbs, finish my bachelors and possibly own a house or at least have a more stable living condition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281790 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:35:25 +0000 Mrs. Train 281790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: haha I don't know!

If we end up with a third, then second and third will be closer together as I will be getting older! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281500 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:26:59 +0000 Honeybee 281500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and DS are 21 months, and I think it's just about a perfect age range. They are so close, even though they're both so young.</p> <p>I think we'd like to have a little bit wider gap between #2 and #3, like 24 months. That is basically so DS can master pottying by himself before we add another one to the mix. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281491 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:21:03 +0000 mamabolt 281491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably somewhere between 2 and 4 years apart. DD is two months now, and I have a mirena and we've agreed to wait at least until she is 18 months to think about trying for number 2. I'd love to be able to go part time at work after a second and I think that's how long I'll need to build up my reputation at work and how long DH will need to increase his earnings to make up for my lost wages. We won't wait longer than LOs third birthday though, don't want them too far apart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281475 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:12:50 +0000 MrsHotDog 281475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours will be 22 months apart.

We ended up with 21 months apart and it's been great! The first month or so was kind of hectic but Lala doesn't even remember life without M. at this point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281422 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:35:46 +0000 HLK208 281422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD and DS are 3 years apart. I think if we have a 3rd, I want to get pregnant by the time DD is 18 months. But we'll see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281421 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:35:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 281421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 years apart, but ended up with 22 months apart. i think it's been perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281410 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:30:05 +0000 Mrs. Train 281410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Twins are definetly game changers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281400 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:26:01 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 281400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted them anywhere from 18-months to 2.5 years apart. Our #1 and #2 will be 2 years 2 months apart so it fell right within that range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281395 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:21:13 +0000 Mrs. Blue 281395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought I would want to have them be a couple years apart, but now that #1 &amp; #2 will only be minutes apart, I think we'll wait longer before having another/adopting. I have no interest in having three under three! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281393 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:18:06 +0000 chopsuey 281393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted them around 2.5 yrs apart. I got pregnant like 3 days after lo turned 1 though, so kiddies will be 21 months apart </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281391 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:16:33 +0000 jennylynn 281391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted them 3 years apart, but I'm ready again now!!! DH thinks I'm crazy since LO is only 5 months old, so we're going to hold off for awhile. I def. want our next one before I turn 30 so within the next year or two. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281368 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:52:20 +0000 Running Elley 281368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were just talking about this the other day. LO #1 is due next month and we’ll probably start trying again the summer before his 2nd birthday. That’d put he and #2 about 2.5-3 years apart. We both really want to be able to enjoy his first couple of years being able to focus on him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281344 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:44:20 +0000 lavender 281344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally 18 to 2 years as well. We will start trying for #2 the beginning of next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281273 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:01:12 +0000 mrsjyw 281273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ideally i want them 18 months to 2 years apart. I want to be done being pregnant before 35.. so at our rate now, it'll be lo #1 at 29, then 31, and 33 :) (knock on wood) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281252 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:49:07 +0000 loveisstrange 281252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4-5 years. I want one kids solidly out of diapers and in school.</p> <p>I was doing some research on it and there is a ton of studies done saying that 2 years minimum is what is best for both children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281249 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:46:42 +0000 Alivoo01 281249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like them to be about 2 years apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281187 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:51:12 +0000 Mrs. Lovejoy 281187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think about 2 - 2.5 years apart. My sister and I are 3.5 years apart and honestly, we aren't very close. I know everyone's different, but I'd love to have my babes close in age to hopefully increase the chances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281185 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:49:40 +0000 hilsy85 281185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally, 2.5-3.5 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-apart-do-you-want-lo1-and-lo2#post-281182 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:47:58 +0000 Mrs. Train 281182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is definetly not the ideal situation 8 months between my oldest and my twins. But there is two years and three months between my twins and my fourth and it seems like a good distance </p>
