10 year age gap!! Oh my!!

Anyone else have a huge age difference in kids?? My daughter just turned 10 in may, I'm due 11/22. My finances daughter is 20! Please be a boy!! Waiting for the rest results this week. I think not odd, both girls,  want girls!  Lol! Ill be 30 in September so we're all 10 years apart! Well my fiance is 34 (yes, he had a child at 14)how am I going to work this if it's all girls?! I'm an only child, I have no clue about siblings, I just knew I wanted my daughter rl have one... tbh I didn't think I could carry again, this pregnancy was/is a total shock, it still doesn't feel real...

Their will be 6 yrs between this baby and its next sibling, which I think is quite a gap but I can't wait and my now baby will make a brilliant big brother.

My sister and I are 9 years apart we get along fine. I've always been kinda motherly to her. We have a good relationship but we have ups and down just normal sister stuff. My son is almost 2 and I am due 2 weeks before his bday so they will be close in age. It really depends on your children's personality no need to worry about the age though.

My husband is 20 years older then his little brother lol it is definitely hard sometimes because he feels more like an uncle then a brother but a ten year age gap shouldnt be bad. They will have their differences but should still be close :)

I had my first at 17 and she is 9 now. I had her baby sister a year ago so they are 8 years apart! Now I'm pregnant with baby #3 and they will be 22 months apart lol

That's great cuz you will have great help with the new little one! And I am 22 weeks with my 3rd, and my oldest will be getting ready to turn 8 when this one comes along, so not 10 years but not far off. I also have a 10 year old step son, so there we have the age gap bigger. Be glad tjough, the older ones are nice to have around and if yours are like mine they will be happy to lend a hand.
