how far apart?

aleishajewell · December 2012

How far apart are you children? if you only have one LO like me when are you planning your second?? or are you done?

CLeigh03 · December 2012

6 years apart and I love it. We are debating about a third but would want to wait at least three years to try.

ks3pink · December 2012

DD will be 7 tomorrow and the boys are almost 5 months, so 6 1/2ish years. Too big a span in some regards and great in others.

aleishajewell · December 2012

I've just been getting that baby itch! Just as we start to get settled haha but DH will not be done with school for two more years for is BS and we had originally said we wouldn't try again until after he graduates, but oh I just LOVED being pregnant!

NerdyMama2 · December 2012

2.5 years. Too close for me! We're done, we are so done.

nopegoat · December 2012

They are 26mo apart. It was a little difficult at first but I actually like how close they are.

Grins04 · December 2012

3 years and 2 months. I love the age gap. DS is pretty independent, which makes a huge difference if Im trying to put DD down for nap and such. And they're still close enough where they will still interact a bit together growing up.

We are done.

allardr · December 2012

I only have my LO right now. We're planning on having 2, possibly 3. I plan to start end of 2013 so they'll be just over 2 years apart. Hubby might push it so they closer to 3 years apart but neither of us want any more than that. I'm in "baby mode" so I want to have all mine now. DH grew up 3 years apart from his sister. And my siblings and I (all 3 of us) are equally spread 2 years apart from each other. We both liked this spacing growing up.

JameyR · December 2012

18 months. I love it. I wouldn't have wanted much closer or further apart. The days are busy but I love watching my girls together. I can already tell how much they love each other!

I'm planning to do a FET with a single embryo in September, after weaning for 3 months. If that is not successful I will transfer the 2 remaining embryos a few months later. If that does not result in a take home baby I will have to think long and hard about undergoing another fresh IVF cycle.

Cbarajas08 · December 2012

Only have my DD right now. We want our kids 2 to 3 years apart. I just started my Masters, so I would like to wait until I am done with that to have another baby. I wouldnt mind being pregnant during the program though. We are thinking 2 more LOs but we will see. I want to be done having kids by the time I am 32.

AprilAngie · December 2012

I have four kids and done. They are age 13,6,4 and 4 months so you do math as to how fr apart they are. My first was from previous, last three are with dh. We were on the fence about number four but all three were planned

PaisleyRuth · December 2012

Just over 18 months apart. We were planning to do 2-3 years apart, but DD surprised us. I have found there are plusses to this spacing, though, so I don't mind it now. It has sealed the deal for stopping at two kids though, that's for sure.

Also, the whole "two kids in diapers" thing? I don't see what's so hard about it. Changing diapers is the easiest thing ever. It doesn't even register on my scale of stressors as a parent.

Aww. I couldn't even imagine how emotionally hard that must be! Wishing you luck and baby dust for September!

. Thanks honey. I am fortunate to have succeeded in my first IVF and have 3 frosties. I received a lot of support from the ladies on the IFV and IF boards. It is physically, emotionally and financially taxing but it resulted in our baby so it's worth every blood draw, early morning u/s and butt welts from the PIO.

klp28 · December 2012

18 months and, honestly, it's miserable. I think 3ish years would be a more preferable age gap, although I'm sure all have their challenges. We will definitely not be having any more children after this 2u2 experience.

Starting on baby two in July!!!

This is our plan or maybe earlier. We are hoping to not have to have fertility treatments this time but want to start early in case we need to.

lady_tytah · December 2012

A little over 5 yrs. Great in some aspects like independence and already trained harder in some like jealousy and understanding patience/taking turns. This is our last unless God has a sense of humor and we get pregnant before my essure.

Crossingfingers · December 2012

15 months, then 2.5 years, then 3.5 years.. I'm definitely the oddball here though because I thought the 15 month age gap was incredibly easy.. My daughter was little enough that she didn't pay any attention to the new baby, and "new baby" was very easy... Now my 3.5 year old can be a huuuuge pain in the rear because he's been the baby for so long and everyone has definitely catered to him!

This except in August. We are hoping for four kids by the time we're 35 so we'll see what happens.

xxbabycakesxx · December 2012

20 months. The beginning of 2u2 was fcking miserable and I hated it. Now that they're both a bit older its getting easier and more fun. Theres still rough days but I can see the light.

I still want more kids but maybe 4 or 5 years apart. I want my current kids to be more independant, maybe in school already too.

KEfam5 · December 2012

Starting on baby 2 if DH gets this job he just applied for.

HeartsOnABand · December 2012

The plan is to get off BC once DS turns one. We wont be "trying" though until DS is around 18 to 20 months if it hasnt happened already.

daniellelovesjacob · December 2012

I think we will start trying sometime the very beginning of 2014. This would put Griffin just over 2 (if it happens right away). I wanted to wait an extra year but my husband wants them to be closer in age since him and his sister are 5 years apart. My sister and I are 2 years and 7 months apart and I love it.

jessalynn521 · December 2012

bahahha. Wellllll depending on how dates work out we should be about 12-13 months apart.

LoveOfMikesLife · December 2012

My situation is a little different, however our plan was for 2 as close together as possibly regardless of what happened. My babies are just under 14 months apart.

ironadxn · December 2012

I'm starting nursing school in August and will finish in May 2015. Then I'd like to work for a year before having number 2. So when DS is about 4 we'll try.
