  • My boys will be 9 and 10....totally feel ya!!!! I had them back to back and didn't expect to have a huge gap. But God has an awesome sense of humor.
  • My husband has 4 kids from a previous relationship ranging from 16 to 26...I feel that telling them will be quite awkward. None of them have children yet ... That would make it a little more awkward I think.
  • I am due on May 8th. My DD will be 16 and 10.
  • I don't have a big age gap but my daughter will be about 5.5 years old when this baby is born. We didn't plan to have a huge gap but we might be open to baby #3. MAYBE.

  • Ha, ha, I have 2 boys 15 and 12, they will be 26 and 13 when my 3rd is born.
  • DS will be 5 years and 8 months when this LO is born. It's not a huge difference, but it's much bigger than most of my friends. I'm glad that he's out of diapers and mostly self-sufficient, so he'll be able to help!

  • My DD will be 8.5 when the baby is born. 
  • My first 2 DDs are 8 years and 3 days apart! So I hear you there but the awesome thing is that they are so helpful!!
  • We have an 18 year old, a 4.5 year old, and now this little one. Yikes! Nothing like finding out you are pregnant a week after you send #1 off to college!

  • My daughter is turning nine in November and my husband and I just found out we are pregnant and die next May. I am worried about her adjusting to a sibling even though she has been asking for a brother or (mostly) sister for years. She is no idea what changes are in store for her and our little family!
  • My sons are 21,19 & 16! I am starting over for sure. This is my husbands first baby. :)
  • My DD was 8 when I got pregnant with DS. It was great having a little helper around. DD is now 11 and DS is going to be 4 soon. Now i'll have two little helpers :)
  • We have a 18 year old, 4.5 year old, and this little lima bean. Thinking about the starting over stuff is scary. We were at a really good place with our family too since the 4.5 year old is finally at an age where he can really join in with activities that the rest of the family enjoys.

  • My 2 girls are 10 and almost 8. We haven't told our girls yet but they have been begging for a baby brother or sister for a few years now. They will be over the moon when we finally tell them! :)
  • Mine will be 16 and 13!
  • My step children are 13 and 10. This will be my first, a lot later then I was hoping. Let's just hope it all works out
  • Both of my DD will be turning 11 and 4 in a few months. I should have plenty of help when the LO arrives in May.
