Spinoff to Toddler Moms with ONE child

Any moms out there that have two kids fairly close together and are waiting on the third? My kids are two years apart, ages 2 and 4, and I'm not sure I'm done yet. But I know right now I couldn't handle it. Anyone thinking of adding a third, but spacing that baby a few more years apart? My oldest would need to be in full day school like 1st grade, which is still two years away.

Re: Spinoff to Toddler Moms with ONE child

My first two are 20 mos. apart. My DH wanted to "bang out" the third right away, but two very close in age was two enough for me.

I did lose a pregnancy last month so DD#2 and that baby would have been 27 mos. apart. As it stands now the closest Abby would be with her potential future sibling is 2 1/2 years...which is great, and if it's a little more that's great too. I am...ahem...35, so I don't feel I have the luxury to hang around for too long.

My cousin just had her 3rd. Her oldest will be 8, the middle is 5 and now a new one. She just said to me, "Now I need a 4th--I can't leave Delia out there by herself!"

We plan on trying in the summer for a 3rd. Part of me wanted to get it all over with but then reality set in . My first 2 are 15 months apart and the closest I would like #2 & #3 would be a little more than 2.5 years. Well see what happens. We planned for #1 & #2 to be about 2 years apart and well you see what happened

Mine are 16 months apart and DH is done. I'm not, so he said he'd be willing to think about it when dd is in kindergarten, so 2 more years. He thinks I'll feel like I'm too old then for another and won't want to go back to diapers and bottles.

My children are also 2 & 4 (in April) and oh boy do I have the itch for #3. I go back and forth between starting TTC this summer versus next year. I always pictured myself with three children. However there are some days when two are kicking my azz that I'm not sure if I want another.

In my school district, full-time doesn't start until the 1st grade and I don't think I can wait that long. I guess we will see.

I am a new mom to 2 DC...they are 19 months apart, but we plan on waiting until the oldest is almost ready for kindergarten to try for a third and fourth...we want those two to be as close in age as these two...We "think" four is how many we want, though that could change once we start again!
