Very helpful post. My daughter is 2 years and 7 months old and a lot of elders are convincing us to have another baby because according to them bigger age gap will affect their relationship with each other.
Well I respect their views but upon reading this, I'm sticking to our ( my husband and I) decision of not having another child for now. The financial confidence is a factor of our decision why we are not yet ready.
Well it appears we are missing that mark by about a month. My husband and I are pregnant with our third child. My oldest is my daughter Jenna who turned 6 this year. My youngest is my daughter Shay who just turned 12 months old on 9/12. We are currently expecting our third child due on 2/26/10.
As this article mentioned, we are the type that would prefer to wait for our youngest to be on the school bus headed to kindergarten. This is why our current children are so far apart in age.
This pregnancy took us by surprise and to be honest, I'm still not quite sure if I am completely ready for another baby. My youngest will be 17 months old when I have the next one. But, here we are... and away we go. The one thing we know for sure. This will be our last child, so I am making every moment of this final pregnancy, a special one.
Good Luck to the rest of you.
