How far apart?

  They are 32 months apart.  I love how far they are apart....DD is interested in DS and loves to help out.  She is also at the age where she can do somethings for herself and I don't have to help (going potty, playing by herself, etc).

  DD and DS#1 are 26 months apart and DS#1 and DS #2 are a month shy of 3 years. I would not change it for anything! I love that my daughter is 5 and in the "little mommy stage". DS is so helpful as well, he is just a little too rough around the baby and I feel like I am always hiding the baby when he comes near.

  2.5 year old, 18 month old and 9 week old and nope, wouldn't change a thing. We're also not done, but we're definitely taking a break.

  18 months.  I wouldn't change it for the world.  I had fertility issues with #1 and was surprised with this pregnancy.  It was such a blessing.  It is a little overwhelming with them this close in age...so we will be waiting 3 yrs probably to think about #3

  16 months.  And yes we planned it this way.  So far, it's pretty challenging most days.  Our 17 month old is such a good, easy little boy.  His little brother is the handful.  So far, I wouldn't change it.  I think it'll be great to have 2 boys so close in age.

  The triplets were 2 1/2 when Jericho was born and it's been pretty good. I think 3 or 3 1/2 may have been a tad better but who knows. We hope to try once more early 2013 so I will get to see what a different gap will be like.

  12.5 months, and no I would not change the age difference. My DS was young enough that he adjusted so well to his new sibling and has had no jealousy at all. He helps me burp the baby, holds bottles, plays with her during tummy time, etc. It's really cute to watch them interact, and I love to know I'm getting the diapers/sleepless nights/terrible 2s out of the way instead of waiting a few years and then starting all over again.

  31 months, just over 2.5 years.

  It's only been a few weeks, but we definitely planned it this way.  I wanted between 2.5-3yrs apart.

  So far, the challenges are: trying to potty train DS while nursing a newborn, and DS has been acting out with a lot of tantrums and meltdowns since we came home from the hospital. It seems to be getting better each day- but it was really bad the first week. 

  However, he is old enough to help out, and he is at an independent stage right now where he likes to do things for himself. I also see benefits to having them closer together- but I don't think my sanity would have been able to handle any closer than this.
