So Hubby and I have decided to try for another baby. We had our first son 5 months ago. Obviously I want them close in age. I think it'll be easier to get the baby stuff over around the same time (bottles, diapers). And it'll be nice for them to be close. I think that mostly has to do with the fact that my sister and I are about 17 years apart.

And I'm 24 so I want to have them while I'm still young. And I want at least 2 kids. Maybe even 4.

So my question is how many kids do you want and would you rather have them close in age or a few years apart?

I've always said that I want three, but if I have twins -- which is highly likely -- I'm gonna stop there. If I end up having three, I want them spaced a little bit apart, like two to three years.

The one thing i've heard about having kids three years apart is that they don't always get along. I know two people who have siblings that are three years apart and they don't get a long at all, and one kid put it like this, he said that you don't know whether to consider them close your age or your little sibling.

I'd like to have two kids: one boy & one girl. I think I'd like to have them two years apart or so.

Whenever I watch "Jon & Kate plus 8," it makes me want to have a big family because it looks like fun & I love kids. But then reality sinks in. pinch.gif

Hmm this is kind of true with me. My brother & I are exactly 3.5 years apart & for the most part we get on each other's nerves. But then we go through phases where we get along really well. I dk. I guess it's just a matter of what's going on. *shrug
