What is/will be the age difference between #1 and #2?
Mine will be nearly exactly five years apart! I don't know many other families who chose to wait as long as i did to have another one!
-
I voted 4 years but I am due 2 months exactly before she turns 4.
-
Not sure if I should vote since LO2 was born last weekend, but mine are just shy of four years apart. LO1 will be four at the beginning of November but it's a possibility that they will be three school years apart.
-
It will be almost exactly three years. I am two days overdue and H's third birthday is Friday.
-
22 months
Me and all my sisters are 5 or 6 yrs apart
31 in a few days...lol
25
20
15 -
@FaithFertility: I'm 31 tomorrow!
-
They will be 3 years and 4 months apart. It's about the difference we had hoped for and expected.
-
Ours will be almost 5 years apart too! This one is due in December and DS will be 5 in March.
-
Well my situation is a little different bc DD2 only lived 13 hours after birth (that was an age different of 3 years 2 days). The age difference between between DD1 and DS will be 5 years and 11 days)
-
23 months, if #2 comes on/near her due date!
-
3 years, 2 months for our two if DS arrives on time. I might have waited longer except for my age and the fact that I just wanted to get the pregnancy/baby years over with. My brother and I are 4.5 years apart and my parents really liked that spacing.
-
I'm pregnant with #3-
20 months between #1 and #2
21 months between #2 and #3 -
It will be about 2 years 10 months between dd1 and dd2
-
@KT326: oooh so exciting!! How is your son doing with the pregnancy? I love being pregnant with a four year old because he's so involved and so curious. He always is asking how big the baby is and we include him in all our baby discussions. He is over the moon about being a big brother and it's the sweetest thing
-
So I voted 12-24 months, but I'm due 4 days after LO1 turns 2!
-
Not pregnant now, but DD is 2 months old. She and DS are 4 years and 5w apart. It's been amazing.
-
Mine will be almost exactly 3 years apart (DD1 was born in mid October and DD2 is due Nov 1).
-
There's 18 months between 1 and 2
There will be 25 months between 2 and 3 ( we were aiming for 18 months again but that didn't happen.) -
27 months
-
Dd#1 and DD#3 are exactly 5 yeas apart. It was so much fun to have her involved in the pregnancy. We definitely took her to an ultrasound. Although I wished I had "practiced" looking at pictures ahead of time with her so she could better identify the face and arms and legs.
She's a great help now that baby is here. We do have to watch that she doesn't do too much with baby. The other day she was holding the baby on her lap with the boppy and I realized she had lifted the baby to try to put her up and over her shoulder. She wanted to burp the baby like we did.
-
I'm not pregnant, but there's a 7 year gap between #1 and #2
-
@Mrs. Pen: woah I'm out of the loop and missed the news, congratulations!
If all goes according to plan and I get pregnant right at the end of nursing school, my kids would be between 5-6 years apart.
-
Mine are just under 3 years apart in age. I love the age range. ETA: not pregnant, but weighing in on the age range.
-
Just shy of 3 years apart. LO2 is due in April and LO1 turns 3 in May!
-
DS will be 2 y 8 m when LO #2 arrives. Assuming LO #2 doesn't come early of course.
-
Just keeping it real here, I was 6 when my brother was born and I was not happy about it. My mom says that I acted out badly. For years, I tried to give him away to anyone that came to visit.
-
I'm due in a few weeks and my son turned 4 in late June. I had wanted a 3 year age gap but we struggled with TTC LO#2 so 4 years and 4 months is what we ended up with. I know people say that 4 year olds can be really helpful, etc. but my son is already really afraid of the lack of attention he is anticipating not getting when the baby arrives (he constantly tells me that he hopes I still love him when the baby arrives and that I need to come to his room first in the morning even if the baby is crying). I really wish we could have had #2 before DS really grasped how life was going to change...
-
@looch: I was 5.5 when my brother was born and I wasn't thrilled either. My mom must've told me something like I was getting a little brother to play with. And when he came out as a baby, not a kid my age, I was pissed
.I am newly un-pregnant (DD is 7 weeks) and she and DS are 2 years 9 months apart. For us it's a perfect gap.
-
If she arrives "on schedule", they will be pretty much exactly 25 months apart!
-
My kiddos are 32 months apart.
-
@Mrs. Pen: He seems pretty excited so far. He has been asking for a sibling for awhile. We do talk a lot about how things are going to change when the baby gets here, how they cry a lot and can't do anything for themselves. I'm also prepared for him to be not so excited when the time comes! He came with me to my last appointment and the dr pulled out his ultrasound machine so he could see the baby. He thought that was pretty neat.
He is really sweet and will come up and kiss my belly and ask me how I'm feeling (I was super sick the first trimester). I love that he can be as involved as he wants to be and that he mostly understands what is going on.
-
@KT326: my son is very similar! He kisses my belly and says good morning to the baby. I'm taking him to my anatomy scan
we definitely talk a lot about how mommy and daddy will be very busy with a new baby, very tired and he'll need to be a big boy and play by himself sometimes. He definitely wants to help a lot! He got upset when I said only I can feed the baby haha, I had to promise I'll pump a couple times so he can bottle feed the baby lol
-
@Mrs. Pen: mine mentions feeding with a bottle too! I think we are going to have to do the same and pump so he can help out.
-
My DS1 and DS2 are almost exactly 4.5 years apart. In fact they are 3 days shy of being exactly 4.5 yrs apart. DS1's birthday is March 30, 2011 and DS2 is Sept. 27, 2015. It has been awesome, even though it was a bigger difference than we were initially hoping for.
-
It will be almost exactly 3 years. There were 8 years between me and my youngest sister.
-
Not pregnant now, but my kids are a bit under 3.5 years apart (3y4m). I'm 4 years younger than my closest brother and 7 years younger than the twin brothers. I'm mostly impressed with my mom having 3 under 3 and then deciding to have a 4th at all
-
Currently pregnant and my LOs will be 22-23 months apart. I'm a little worried but super excited.
I was 6 when my sister was born and I was crazy in love with her. I was actually pretty mad when she got older because she was not a snugly baby at all and all I wanted was to snuggle with her! Then I was 13 when my youngest sister was born and I personally think that's a great age to be around a baby sibling because they're excellent birth control!
It took my husband years for me to come around to the idea of having kids. And by the time we did I was desperate to be a mom and I wasn't worried about a lot of the mundane or everyday aspects of raising kids.
-
@newlypregnantlady: Bahahaha I was 15 when my baby sister was born and it was not birth control! She was and still is my little angel. I took care of her a lot because my mom was 40+ when she had her and didn't have the stamina she did before and had some complications. So I helped with night waking and stuff. But it just made me love her and love babies. I got pregnant (intentionally, mind you
at 21! I just felt ready to be a mom. I love my son so that's a huge part of why I waited nearly five years to have another one.
-
Pregnant with #3
17 months between 1 & 2
3 years and 3 months between 2 & 3 -
@Mrs. Pen: that's funny! I definitely loved babies because of my sisters but I had many babysitting nights where I had to hold her all night while she slept until my parents got home, and many nights of cleaning her up while she had the flu, so I never really romanticized raising kids.
One of the most memorable times watching her she got the flu really bad and I ended up cleaning diarrhea off the ceiling. So my sister was definitely effective birth control! Lol!
