Surprise!
Just
when
I
decided
I
wanted
my
oldest
to
be
3
before
we
had
number
two.
.
.
.oh
well,
God
has
a
plan.
I
will
survive
the
25
month
difference
in
age.
.
.
I
think!

I
alwyas
spaced
mine
out
be
saying
that
one
had
to
be
potty-trained
before
the
other
one
arrived.
It
worked
and
I
still
have
hair
in
my
head.
Good
luck
and
God
bless!

Well...
my
son
is
now
10
and
I
have
been
trying
to
talk
to
my
husband
about
#2
but,
he
is
happy
with
our
little
family.
When
we
first
got
married,
we
were
going
to
plan
the
kids
(3
kids)
every
2
years,
but
life,
jobs
(husband
is
in
the
military
and
has
been
deployed
4
times
in
the
last
10
years,
and
raising
our
son
that
we
just
never
got
to
#2
and
#3.
Now,
I
am
ready
and
he
isn't.
So,
we
will
see...

We,
um,
didn´t
plan
our
spacing.
Originally,
we
figured
we´d
wait
two
years
after
the
first
to
try
for
another
since
I
had
a
very
difficult
pregnancy
and
a
horrible
birth
experience.
Our
son
also
had
medical
issues
and
needed
surgery,
so
it
just
made
sense
to
wait
until
he
was
done
with
all
that
.
.
.
but
.
.
.
when
our
firstborn
was
just
7
months
old,
I
discovered
I
was
pregnant
again!
At the time, it was horrible. I was so depressed. But a good friend helped us raise the money to have my son´s last surgery right before the baby was born and that helped a lot, since I didn´t have to worry about looking after a newborn and a recovering child. And now, I´m really glad these two are so close together. They play so well together and just adore each other. Many people even ask if they are twins!

We
spaced
the
last
two
almost
exactly
2
years
apart,
and
both
of
them
were
planned
for
the
late
fall,
so
I
could
cobble
together
vacation
and
sick
time
from
the
birth
year
and
the
following
year
each
time
(and
swing
a
longer
maternity
leave)...
Why 2 years apart? As my husband said when discussing the idea of adding number 5, "well, we aren't getting any younger..."

My
age
was
the
main
factor
and
it
took
some
talking
to
get
my
husband
to
agree
to
another
one.
Kate 14th May
yes!
well
since
i
am
the
breadwinnner
and
hubby
goes
insane
if
he
isnt
working
(he
loves
his
job,
it
just
doesnt
pay
much
-
except
access
to
a
FANTASTIC
daycare!)
our
careers
are
certainly
a
huge
part
of
the
decisions
when
it
comes
to
our
kids.
We
have
one
son
and
he
is
thriving!
We
would
like
to
have
another
but
may
have
to
wait
until
he
is
out
of
daycare
first
(unless
one
of
us
gets
a
big
enough
increase
to
cover
the
additional
cost!
hey
-
anything
is
possible!)
so maybe not the traditional 'career' type of concern when talking about kids... it's certainly a factor! |
