    Interesting...

    We plan to TTC this time next year (as long as I still have my job Indifferent), when Libby is around 18 months.  We're hoping to have our kids 2-3 years apart...especially because I am already 35...I'd like to be DONE by the time I am 38.  Here's hoping TTC#2 is as easy as it was was for #1.

    We're TTC now... I would've liked them closer together than what they will be (if we got pregnant now we'd still have 2u2 which we want) and we may even go for 3u3 :) We're crazy like that. My sibling and I are 27 months apart which I really enjoyed growing up and if we plan on having 3 or 4 (i'm shooting for 4 and DH thinks 3... time will tell) then I don't want to be too much older to keep the ball rolling. I'd like to be all done by the time I'm 35 but that's only 5 yrs to have 2-3 more kids!

    Good article. I read that in the magazine when it came out... We're shooting for 2-3 years apart. I'm thinking I might do the NYC Half Marathon in March, then start TTC...

    We're planning on trying this coming January. 

    But we're going to Mexico in November with out Elyse so maybe we'll get pregnant there.  We're not going to try like we did last time.  No crazy temperature taking etc.

    I should clarify... I'm not saying that people who take their temps etc are crazy.  I'm saying that I was crazy.

    Good article =) We probably won't try for another year or so...hoping to space out the kiddos 2-3 years.

    My sister and I are 2 years and 2 months apart and I think it was great timing (and my mother has told me that it was nice spacing for her, too) - my brother is 5 years younger than me and the age difference was a little too much for us to be super close growing up, although we have become closer since becoming adults.

    So if things had gone according to plan, we'd have tried for 2 years apart...instead we got 2 minutes. Stick out tongue
