Kiddo age gap

[Deleted]

I really only wanted one. Lol Yet here we are.

But, my ideal age gap would have been between 5-10 years.

I'm only slightly jealous of friends that seem to be able to have their bc not fail and plan pregnancy.

[callmeKD]

DD will turn 4 in May 2017. So almost a 4 year difference. Not at all what we intended, but such is life.

[desirrek]

Mine will be about 3 years apart which was pretty much planned. We got pretty lucky this time and got pregnant way faster than we did with our son.

[meggypoo1]

Clara will just about 2 months shy of 3 when I am due. I'm due 3/28 and her birthday is 5/26. I'm happy to hear that a 3 year old helps @justinslovo! I am nervous

[landonsmom15]

If I had it my way (lol), this LO would be born a day before my EDD. Then Landon and this one would be 2 years, 2 months, and 2 days apart!

[jillywilly]

We're looking at about a 21 month difference depending on if I ever get a due date! Much close in age than we were planning (we were thinking more like 2 1/2 - 3 years ideally), but I'll take a surprise pregnancy without having to do fertility treatments this time around!

[jnnfrrose6]

This one will be just shy of 3 years from DD. DD is 22 months younger than DS.

That makes the number fanatic in me so happy!

And if you're like me and enjoy odd numbers, Landon's birthday is 1/15/15. This baby could be 3/17/17.

So jnnfrrose6 you get to hold my hand with having already experiencing 2u2. Pretty please!

I never thought it was too scary. Coming home with DS and not knowing what the hell I was doing was so much scary. At least the second time around we had an idea about what we were getting ourselves into. We kept DS in daycare to keep his routine so that was a huge help. I don't know how SAHM's do it. 

[erinshelley21]

DS will turn 3 in December so 3 years and 3ish months.

[missi]

My first two were 18 months apart. It wasn't bad. By the time Madeleine was eating solid foods, Eve wanted to help me with her.

Ten years after Madeleine came the twins. The older two have been a HUGE help with them. Nothing like having older daughters to help with everything including changing diapers

Of course, the last two are ten minutes apart. I think the only thing that gets crazier then that is triplets or quadruplets. The first year is insane, the second year, slightly less so.. the third year is getting fun

Ahhhh! This is my issue completely!

You set up a routine, know that someone is going to throw a wrench in it (just like in an office or other job), and make sure you get a date night at least every other weekend!

[kinipela7]

I wanted mine 2.5 years apart and they will be 2 years and 10 months apart. I used to think people that did just a 2 year age gap were nuts but I feel like that actually would be perfect! I think my DD would be an excellent helper now that she is 2!

[ladytiffany24]

DD will be a few months shy of 3 years older than this baby. We had hoped for more like a 2 year difference but such is life!

[caer]

We will have just over a three year difference between DS and the new LO. I really, really wanted 2u2 but life had other plans. In the end, I think I'll be happy to have DS be a little bit older.

[Deleted]

Looks like there's a few 3 year age gaps in the group. That makes me feel a bit better.

[elsmom]

DD turns 2 in Feb. I really wanted them between 2-3 years apart but was nervous it would take a long time like the first time around. Now I'm a little nervous that this is earlier than I'm ready for, but I'm mostly excited to see DD as a big sister

[britab]

About 33 months apart. The timing we were hoping for. I was ready earlier DH was not.

[sarahh]

DD will be just over 20 months when I am due. She was born on the 17th and I'm due on the 29th but will have a RCS.

[madameovary]

My son was July 2014, so almost 3 years (332.5 ish months) if this one comes as expected in late March.

[muskiefan]

My first two are just over 2 years apart.

DD will be 4 and DS will be 2(+2 months).

DD was ahead of where DS is in a number of ways, so I think this will be more challenging.

I had special toy bag for DD to use/play with when I was nursing DS. She loved it because it wasn't what she was used to playing with. She looked forward to it a lot early on. Then she became used to me being unavailable during that time.

[muskiefan]

@amc25 I was induced with both of mine. DD took over 24 hours. DS was quicker, around 9 hours.

[daisylola11]

DS will be about 2.5 when this LO arrives, I hoped sending him to preschool once he turns 3 in August a couple days a week would help give me a little break so we'll see.

[amandamh2]

We'll be just shy of 2 years. Based on my ultrasound and new EDD LO#2 is due about 3 weeks before DS's second birthday.
We were hoping for a close age gap (18 months-2.5 years apart ideally) so we're very happy with this spacing.

[cosmicav]

My LO will be 22 months when this one is due. I know it's gonna get crazy lol but I am looking forward to the close age gap

[suelou18]

DD will be right at two years when this LO is born. She's also a March baby. Based on my EDD, it's completely possible that they will have the same birthday or within a few days of each other.

Holy freaking crap. Do I have the youngest baby here??

C will be just under 18 months on my due date.

I'm freaking out.





Only a little...

I have a September 15 baby as well. Depending on going late or early she will be just about 18 months. Of course my oldest will be almost 4 1/2.

[sillygirl44]

The three year age gap is ver nice. I had that with my first and second.

[obi]

My pregnancy is high risk so I could deliver 1-2 weeks early via induction. DS will be 21m at the end of feb. I am due March 10.

[elissamarie]

DD turns 3 on 1/29 and this LO is due 3/1, so just about three years. DD was almost 2 weeks early, so I may end up with a February baby if things go the same.

I'm somewhat nervous as to how she'll react.
