I had DS1 in July of 2010, DS 2 of July of 2012 and the twins are 2 months old. I like having them 2 years a part, the older two are totally buddies (don't get me wrong they also beat the bejesus out of each other, but they are inseperable)

We are thinking of starting when they are a year, but I will be 36 at the time and I did an IUI to get these babies, so chances are it could take a while if we decide not to go back to an RE.

It was important that we get on the ball - we are "older" and it takes IVF to conceive for us, so I will have 3 under 2 in September. It all depends on your particular situation, but for me the closer in age the better, just my personal preference. But DC costs are going to drown me for a few years...

We talked of having our kids close in age, but life happened after my son was born; fast forward 9 years later, and pregnant with twins. **gulp** For us, we feel incredible blessed in our situation because my son is SO excited to have a brother and sister (something he's wanted for years); and now we don't have to worry about the new baby having no one to play with since they'll have each other. We have a bunch of nephews and 1 niece my 9 yr olds age, so again the worry about lack of playmates isn't a factor anymore.
I'm a little baby crazy and I love the idea of caring for a single newborn...but then I remember I have two toddlers running around. They are 20 months. If we try again I think I'd like them closer to 4 and in pre-school so I can have one on one time with the new baby!
