I have 2 boys right now, my oldest is 6 and my youngest is 4 with 18 months between them.  believe it or not, I loved having my boys very close in age.  You will go through lots of diapers thou as boys are harder to potty train!

I have a 5yr old and I'm 26w with my 2nd. I'm worried it is too big of a gap. I'm from a large family, my mother had 6 kids and we're all around 13-14 months apart except the oldest ones are 10 1/2 months apart. My siblings n I are close we're all like eachothers best friends, I'm worried almost 6years apart is too far for them to relate to eachother. Dont worry about any negative comments people may say to you, nobody knows what is good for your family besides your family.

My daughter will be 13 in march, my son is 9 & I'm 38 weeks pregnant today. I think its good that I have 2 babysitters, but I was preparing to be kid free in 9-10 years... Now I'm right back where I started. 18 more years at least lol!

My daughter is almost 9, my husband's daughter is 11.  I am 35 weeks pregnant with our first.  I never wanted a huge age gap between my kids, but that is the way life worked.  I would have loved to have it like I was with my sisters, I am 22 months older than one and 5 years older than the other (but she is only 3 years younger than the middle).

I have a 13 yr old, a 10 yr old and a 16 mo old and am 15+2. There will be 22 months between our youngest children. Don't listen to the negative ppl out there, I've dealt with the big age gap and that was never an issue our older boys love their baby brother and okay with him all the time.  We r now going to tackle the super close together. It will all work.out! Good luck!
