...are your kids (if you have more than one)?
What do you think is a good age gap? Me and DH are talking about having another baby soon, so I just thought I'd ask.

Mine are 3 ½ yrs apart. I think it is a good age. Colin was old enough to understand what was going on and it was a huge help to have him out of diapers and able to do things for himself...

My kids are a few days shy of being 2 years & 4 months apart. There are times when I love the gap but then other times I wish they were further apart.

My oldest two are 37 1/2 months apart and I love that age gap. My baby is 18 months and 1 week younger than our second and while it is nice it so much more work.

My boys are 363 days apart :blush It is hard now but I know we are going to absolutely love having Zach and Kole close in age as they get a little bit older.

Jaxon and Shelby are about 28 months apart... so almost 2 1/2 years. Shelby and Hunter will be about 15 months apart. I really like the spacing :D

My girls are 17 mos apart. It was a bit difficult having a newborn and a 17 month old, but now that they're 5 and 6, it's great and I'm glad they're close in age. They like the same things and love playing together most of the time.

I guess a good age gap would be what you prefer. Do you want a couple babies at home or want to wait until one is in Kindergarten? I wouldn't like having two little ones at home. It's just too much for me, but I did it.

My kids are almost 1 yr 9mths apart. They are 7 and 9 right now. It's frustrating with their bickering sometimes though. I will have another in Jan. To me, that is way too big of a gap because I'm out of baby world, but they are very excited so it kinda makes me happy to have them happy and excited.

Mine are considered close toether by some, but I think that we did just fine. I guess it just depends on your family life. Julie & Kelsey are 15 months apart, Kelsey & Emily are 2.5 year apart and Emily & Tori a 2.5 years apart.

Mine are 26 months apart. I wouldn't want them any closer but I could go for a few more months apart. This spacing has been good for us though.

mine are 2 years and 3 months apart and I like it. My brother and me were a year apart. It started getting fun when we got older

Ethan and Elizabeth are 28 months apart and it's PERFECT!!! He was potty trained when she was born, he was old enough to go and get a diaper for me if I needed it, right now they are VERY close, INSEPERABLE! Emilee and Ethan are 5 years apart and he has no interst in her and Elizabeth and Emilee are 3 years apart and she can't STAND Emilee in her sight or anything! If I ask her to get something for me for Emilee if I'm busy she gets an attitude, when Emilee gets into something she screams at her.

Ericka and Nathan are 3 years and 4 months apart. We actually started ttc when Ericka was 1 but it took us a long time to get pregnant. I am kind of glad now that I didn't get pregnant right away. It is a lot of work!

Jerron will be 3 in December and we are "trying" for another....
So, even if we were to get preggo right away they would still be no less than3 1/2 yrs apart probably closer to 4 years... just depends on how soon we get preggo (L)
