Thanks for the input, guys. It's not really the age gap that I'm trying to decide on, it's more life situation-related. DH is in the military and we have no idea even what country we'll be living in a year from now. Like, I know I want another kid anytime now, I'm just afraid of ending up giving birth alone in a foreign country with no family and a deployed husband. Worst case scenario, but possible. So that's where I'm at.
DH always said not to let his (military) career dictate when we have kids. Simply because it's always changing (for example orders/deployments can change). We had decided to TFAS around DSs 1st bday. We had actually started NTNP about a 2 months before his bday since 1. I hadn't gotten AF back yet and 2. With my history of PCOS figured it might take a while. We found out we were preg with DD shortly after DS turned 14 months (and just 6 days after he was weaned.) Ours are 22.5 months apart. I will say the 1st year was really really hard but it is getting so much better and I love the bond my kiddos share. DH had wanted a 3 year gap but now that DS is 3 I couldn't imagine having a newborn now (for us personally-others it is great). Basically if you feel ready than go for it. My DH is 12 years older than me so his age factored in to our decision too.
