I would like to be KU right now, but I don't see that happening anytime soon (breastfeeding and we had a hard time getting pregnant). I would love to have our kids close together.
I put 3 years. That's what H and his sister are. I was an only child until after my parents divorce and both got remarried, I gained a half brother at 11 and a step-sister at 12. H is still up in the air on whether to be OAD or have one more. I'm pretty sure we will though.
I put 2 years because I would like to be pregnant again around this time next year so that DD is 2.5 when #2 is born.
This. Reading "this time next year" part I was like holy shit that's soon haha Ideally I would like an April-ish baby and not be pregnant during the summer
I think I want another kid, or maybe 2 more? But my two are already stretching us thin so I don't know if DH agrees. I preferred April to August as far as pregnancy timing so maybe 1.5 years between these next two? Unless BFing spaces them further apart. Though I do love the 2ish year separation between DS and DD. I don't KNOOOOWWWWWWW what I waaaaaaantt!
We are planning on a 3 year age gap. I want to have lots of time to enjoy this one. I am not 100% sure we will stick to the plan, but I guess we'll see. I am aiming for a June/July or October/November/December baby in 2017.
I'd like 2-3 years but age limitations dictate they'll probably need to be closer if we decide to have another. We'll probably start trying this summer.
I want one in about another three years. I'd like to progress further in work before the next, both for personal satisfaction and to better afford number two.

I'm thinking about 3 years would be nice. It's tricky to think about timing after having our losses and knowing it's so out of our hands, but we'll probably start talking things over when this LO is at least 2. We may be talking adoption, which could be an entirely different timeline, too.
I'm specially...mine are 7years apart. However it was not our ideal situation, but we started trying when DS1 was 3. However, I LOVE the age difference at the moment! DS1 is so helpful and independent.

Our kids are exactly 18 months apart. I absolutely love the spacing though it can be completely exhausting. Just this morning dd was trying to teach DS to clap, it was adorable. She finally realizes he's going to be a playmate and not some sloth.

I would choose 18 mo apart-2 years apart if I could; however I need to finish grad school first because it requires a one year unpaid internship clinical course. Daycare for one without a salary is going to require loans...so it would be irresponsible to have two. #1 and 2 will end up being probably 3 years apart. After that I want to bang them out because Ill be getting older.

I said 2 years... my brother and I are 4.5 years and I felt we would have been a little closer and had more in common growing up if we were closer in age.
Ideally I would probably like 3 years, but DH is turning 45 in March. So...I think we will time #2 for next April-June. I am a teacher and would much prefer an end of school year baby with summer off this time. Also, LO can start at my school at 2 for very low tuition which is how I will be able to afford childcare. We are still on the fence about OAD though.
I use to say 2 years before actually having her. Now that she's here, I'm thinking 3.5 years the earliest? I want to finish school and find a stable job first.
