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?

Siblings who are born under a year apart are called Irish Twins. IDK why?

On this baby board I belong to, some people who gave birth in the same month as me (September) are already pregnant! And I know someone else who has 2 kids and they're 10.5 months apart. Which pretty much means she got pregnant right when it was okay to have sex again (we're supposed to wait 6 weeks). By then I couldn't even think about having sex so soon.

I think ideally you are supposed to wait at least a year before trying again. To let your uterus heal or something.

But just because we're trying doesn't mean we're going to get pregnant right away. And I'd love twins but it doesn't run in our family. :(
