What is the age gap between your kids?

My boys are 9 and 7. A good gap as they are mostly the best of friends, look after each other and play together in the yard at school. They do have their moments and whack each other though :rolleyes:
Expecting a baby now. The 7 year old is hyper and already talking to the baby through my tummy, and getting excited. The 9 year old isn't as excited, but is more interested in learning about the science behind it all.Here I go again on my own....0 -
We have 5 children and only have a short gap between each of them. 2 and a half years between DS1 and DD, 11 months between DD and DS2, 14 months between DS2 and DS3 and 3 years between DS3 and DS4.
It was hard when DS3 was a newborn as I also had a 1YO and 2YO to run around after, but I like them having such small age gaps as they have grown up very close.0 -
15, 12 & 5.
The oldest two are boys and the youngest is a girl.
DS1 wasn't really that interested when I was pregnant with DD, but since she has been born, he absolutely dotes on her and has a patience and understanding with her that I have never seen in him before.
DS2 likes being able to do all the kiddie things again without looking uncool....as he has the excuse that its for DD!
Having said all that despite the age gaps, DD is still the boss!0 -
dd9, ds6, ds5. The last two there is one year 2 months between them. I was knackered, still am! But they are reaching a lot of milestones at similar times. Its good as they can go to playgroups together, although ds1 is HUGE for his age looks more like an 8/9 yr old which has been a cause of problems in the past, and ds2 looks little for his age and still has 'fluffy' hair.Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:

Oh gosh so far it looks like I have quite a large age gap between my oldest and youngest (16 and a half years) compared to others, having this gap is really great you know, its like starting all over again, Personally I would recommend it to anyone, I get to regress all over again its brilliant.0
