Mom of 2+ children (Not multiples)

Knowing what you know now:

How far apart are your kids?

Would you have them further or closer together? ?

    My boys are technically 10 months apart (4 days shy of 11 months). Although not planned, I wouldn't have done anything differently. It is hard at times...but soo much fun!

    19 months

    I don't think I could imagine it any different.  I think you'll probably get that answer a lot.  On one hand, I felt guilty that dd and I wouldn't have our alone time anymore... but on the other hand, dd and ds have SO much fun together.  They are adorable!  It was easier the second time around... easier pg, easier newborn period. It's busy and tough at times. but  after the first 6 months, it gets dramatically easier.. the baby focuses on the toddler, the toddler loves the attention b/c, after all, the world revolves around the toddler.  they occupy each other's time and once again your house will somewhat be clean (not as clean was when it was just you, dh and dc #1, but cleaner than the first 6 months with two ).  It's good.  I'm sure it's good at any age gap... it's what you're used to.

    20 months. ?I would of said a little further apart but when I found out #2 was another boy I was really happy they were so close in age! ?#3, however, will be more like 2- 2 1/2 years from #2. ? :)

    23 months, and I thought it was perfect!

    I'm actually pg with DC #3.  This one wasn't planned so, there is a bigger age difference - he/she will be about 33 months younger than my DS (the current baby of the family)  I'm kind of bummed about the larger age gap between the youngest two, but I think just about anything is workable.  Nothing I can do about it anyway!

    Mine are just shy of 3 years apart (34 months to be exact) and I love it!  I got PG a month after DS turned 2.

    It is nice because #1 can help us (get a diaper, get a bottle from the fridge, etc.), he is free entertainment for #2 (she loves and laughs at everything he does) and #1 can entertain himself when I have to deal with #2 (feed her, change a diaper, put her to bed).  Plus we won't have 2 in fulltime daycare for very long, so financially it is a help.

    16 months apart.  I love it now but I could not go through it again for a third.  I want several years before we have any more.  The pregnancy was rough with a baby/toddler.
