I think their babes are 5 months apart.. 1 boy 1 girl! One birthed by them, the other by their surrogate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-closest-age-gap-between-siblings-that-you-know#post-282151 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 19:03:42 +0000 Ree723 282151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 13 months younger than my sister - clearly I was unplanned! My mom apparently cried when she found out and asked the doctor how this happened, the doctor said "if you don't know by now, i'm not going to tell you!" </p> <p>After she had me, she figured they may as well just go ahead and have their third not long after so we could all be close in age. My brother was born less than two years later so three kids in less than three years. She was an older mom though so she always knew we'd be somewhat close together...just not quite that close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-closest-age-gap-between-siblings-that-you-know#post-282121 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 18:41:15 +0000 MaisyMay 282121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is 1 minute younger than me and Hubs is two minutes younger than his sister.
