Busy bee!
It's been chaos around my house lately. I started a new job with a major defense contractor in July, my mom and sister came into town for Miss B's 2nd birthday and this week we have Joe's parents. So needless to say it's been a little busy around my house lately. I need to post some new pictures of the curtain climber...she's getting so big it's amazing. I went through some her clothes the other day..and I got a little baby fever. I go back and forth being ready for number two, I really liked being pregnant after the 4 months of horrendous morning (wait...it was all day/night) sickness, and she was such a good baby, she slept through the night at around 8 weeks and for the most part was so happy. Makes me wonder if I would be so lucky with number two...and she is easy now. Completely out of diapers and loves her school, so why fix a good thing, but even if we got pregnant within the next 6 mos they would be about 3 years apart which I think would be perfect cause my sister and I are 5 years apart and I almost think that was too far apart. So here is my dilemma...how many years apart is too many and how much harder is it with two kids vs. one.

Ali--I think that 3 years is a good age difference. They will both keep you on your toes in different ways and I agree that 5 years is too far apart. They say that more than a 5 year age difference is like being raised as an only child.
Hi . Im a friend of Jennifers and got to your blog threw hers. Anyhow ..
My kids are 2 years and 2 mos apart. I wouldnt have had it any other way. My brother and I are 8 years apart an thats too much IMO. The closer the better .. Good Luck in your decision
Well, I have two boys, 20 & 21, and they are 20 months apart. Girl, it was HARD!!! My third child is 7 years younger than the 2nd, but she is a girl. They never fought and he helped me take care of her (both boys did) a lot. My last child is 7 years younger than the 3rd, a girl, and when she was a baby, my 7 year old daughter just loved her to death. She would feed her, rock her, change her diaper, all that good stuff. But now they are 5 and 12 and seem to fight NON STOP for the past year.
I don't think there is any "right" answer, but I really wish I was closer in age to both of my sisters. We are far apart and never had anything in common, and I'm 44 and was never really close with them, not how my boys are now. They are totally best friends and do everything together.
