My OB said that since I had a c-section with my oldest, there should be at least 18 months between births, so I managed that! If I had to do it over again, I would've waited until my oldest was ready for preschool, for logistical reasons, mostly. I am relatively young (31), so I could wait a few years before having a third but that might be too much space for me.

I think the second thing (pretty sure "YAY!" was the first) i said to her when I found out she was expecting #2 was, "Wait, Miss Birth Spacing, let me do my math to see if you waited long enough."

Things are truly much better now that they are 4 and 6. I don't know if I truly believe ideal spacing exists - it all depends on the family. Allie was right about one thing: make sure you are emotionally and financially ready for the 2nd because it is rare that siblingsnap at the same time!LaTishanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005624452048927079.post-50064803931863005312011-10-27T11:05:18.747-04:002011-10-27T11:05:18.747-04:00It's hard when my *one* kid won't nap!
