How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart?- Our kids will be 20 months apart, we didnt plan them to be this "close" we were just planning this baby around a deployment.

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first?-We got preggo with DD the weekend we got married!

How old were you when you had each of your kids? I was 16 when I had Colin and 20 when I had Caleb. I'll be 24 with this one

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart? None of mine were really planned, we just let nature take it's course. Oddly enough they all ended up around 3 ½ yrs apart

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? I was with my ex for a little over 2 years when we had Colin. I'll have been with DF for 1½ years when we have this one.

What made you decide to have kids? I was 16, wasn't really planned.

What made you decide on how many? I wanted 2 originally. But DF really wanted another so we've settled on 3. Before I had kids I didn't want any, so I've gone for 0 to 3, lol.

How old were you when you had each of your kids? I will still be 20 and DH will be 24.

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart? We are going to try again around 18 months..just becuase I think that is a good space and I want alot of time alone with just my son.

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? We will be together for 4 years the beginning of May.

What made you decide to have kids? We just knew we both wanted to have them and once I turned 18 or was close to it we started trying.

What made you decide on how many? We stil haven't decided totally...lol

I was 29 when I had my son and 31 when I had my daughter

2 years and 3 months apart. We decided we wanted them fairly close and werent sure how long it'd take for #2. We decided to stop using protection and go back on fertility meds later in the year...We didnt need to (L) our first month of not prevnting resulted in my daughter (L)

Our first was born right after our 10 year wedding anniversary (we started trying for a baby tho right when we married... I had infertility issues

I've always wanted to be a mom. I love kids

2. good number, financially great for us anddue to it taking almost a decade to get my son here..I'm not getting any younger and we felt this was a good complete number. Plus it FEELS complete to me

How old were you when you had each of your kids?
DS is was 18, DD1 20, DD2 22.

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart?
DS & DD1 are 2 years apart. DD1 & DD2 are 1-1/2 years apart. Only DD1was planned, we thought 2 years apart was a good amount.

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first?
I was not with my DH when I had my first. My son was 9 months old when we got married. We were married 5 months when we got pregnant with DD1.

What made you decide to have kids?
I was still in highschool when I got pregnant. I didn't choose to have kids, I chose to be careless, but I made the best of it. We continued from there simply wanting our kids to be fairly close in age.

What made you decide on how many?
We really intended to stop at 2, a boy and a girl, but it didn't work out that way. After 3, we just knew it was more than enough for us to handle.

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart? I plan for E & #2 to be at least 3 years apart.

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? We were 3 days shy of our 1st wedding anniversary when Ethan was conceived. My goal was to wait 1 year!!! :D

What made you decide to have kids? We were ready! Plus I wanted Bryan to experience his son's first milestones w/o having to go out to sea and such. The boat has been in dry dock since 2003 and just came out this year...

What made you decide on how many? Financial reasons...lol.

I was 19 when I had Breanna. 24 when I had Johnny. I'll be 25 when I have Zachary. Breanna was 4 1/2 when Johnny was born and now she is 6 with Zachary. Johnny will be 19-20 months when I have Zachary. John and I were together for 5 months when we found out I was pg with Breanna. We didn't plan her so God decided when we were ready. And we didn't plan this little one so again God decided how many we are going to have. Maybe God has more in store for us, too. :lol

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? WE HAD BEEN MARRIED 7 MONTHS; TOGETHER FOR A YEAR AND 4 MONTHS

What made you decide to have kids? I NEVER WANTED CHILDEREN UNTIL DH, I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT BUT I JUST KNEW I WANTED TO HAVE A FAMILY WITH HIM.

How old were you when you had each of your kids? I was 24, DH was 22

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart?Only have one right now but the plan is to start TTC#2 in 3 years. I'd like to start sooner, DH wants to wait longer so we decided on 3 years as a middle ground

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? We'd been married for almost 2 years

What made you decide to have kids?She's a pill baby. lol We had planned on waiting a little longer

What made you decide on how many?I want two. I know DH would never agree to have three and I grew up hearing my mom tell us how much she would have loved a sibling instead of being an only child.

How old were you when you had each of your kids? dd is had just turned 18, ds #1 I was 21, ds #2 I was 23

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart? Makaila are Ryan are 3 1/ 2 years apart and the boys are 22 months apart. That is just the way things worked out. I wish the boys were a little bit further apart.

What made you decide to have kids? 1st one just happened, and when we were ready we just added more. :)

How old were you when you had each of your kids? 22

How far did you space them apart & what made you decide on how far apart? We are going to TTC starting in a few weeks, so if we get preggo right away, they would be about 3.5 years apart...I have wanted to TTC for a year, but dh wasn't ready yet, I just think my son needs a sibling

How long had you been with your SO when you had your first? 6 years (but only married a month)

What made you decide to have kids? wasn't planned, I was on the pill. An oopsie I wouldn't change for the world

What made you decide on how many? I'd like 3 and so would my hubby...that's our max, but if we have a girl next we might decide to stop (we dont' want too many because we want to be able to be financially comfortable)
