Our gap was decided on my YDS lack of weight gain and size...so Oct. 2012 was the first attempt for baby 2013, cut that ended in m/c. Waiting to try made me so impatient, so I have to laugh at myself why we are not going for it right now!! The few extra lbs that I accumulated during the loss....means that I need to let these go before the next round.
I wouldn't mind having twin girls to bring me to 7, but this will definitely be my last pregnancy.Quote:

I found having my boys quite close together too crazy busy and overwhelming for me and still feel like DS2 as a baby is a blur. So for a long while we weren't going to have a third. The 5 year gap seems to be perfect for me as the boys will be at full-time school in a few weeks and Sasha will be 11 weeks. I have loved that there is no jealousy with the big age difference and how the boys are so self sufficient. I am looking forward to having time to do all the things I managed with DS1.
I won't be part of this group in a few years as we are well and truly done now, but all the best to everyone. You all sound like lovely ladies whose children are lucky to have you.
I am really scared of this!! Even twin boys would terrify me to be honest. I just want one last baby to love and spoil, two would be a massive handful as I work full-time and don't plan on stopping in the near future! But I would just have to suck it up if it happened, and odds are higher now that I am 35, maybe even 36 depending how many months it takes to get a BFP. I would love them to bits though!Quote:

having experienced both a 3 + yr age gap and a close age gap (only 16 mos between DS2 and DD) when I go back for my final and 4th, it's definitely going to be closer to the 3 year side...I just found it so much more enjoyable! I don't much care for two in diapers, and they both have a very annoying tendency to when one gets upset, the other starts crying too, hehe.
Aww them pregnancy hormones get to all of you ladies to, every time I give birth I have this urge to get pregnant again and fast, it passes about 8 months after birth but it is so strong isn't it! It is like I walk into a shopping center and have to look and turn my head to see all the other babies when usually I don't. Weird. Congrats on your little guy by the way!!
there's definitely going to be a 4th? how exciting! you'll sway again?Quote:

Hi all :happy:
Oh yaay there is somewhere for me to hang out :-)
As with all above i was SO broody after DD then a year later it went and I could actually even imagine being ok with being finished at some point! Something i always worried about as I love babies so much I could never imagine being ok that it was over.
Well Im back now to worrying about that! And whilst I am also back to being broody again (just very recently which is why I find myself back on here!) I am again liking knowing I have a 3rd baby to come and worrying about how bad it will be when I dont have another baby to come!!
Im a worrier can you tell!!
I've also worried about age gaps etc etc but the bigger age gap this time suited us well and I *think we will try for our last (gulp!) baby in the summer.
I also realize I am very lucky to have gotten my DG as I know I would be a total mess about ttc for a last time otherwise so I dont mean to be insensitive to others.
And again whilst knowing I am lucky I am being very cheeky and would love to sway for another DD as a sister..
And just to be very greedy I would love twins!!!
well, there's nothing wrong with that! I know had my sway worked I'd be wanting another girl tooQuote:
