What is your smallest age gap?
I have also psoted this on the nest forum, but noticed not all of you are over there, so I hope you dont mind me asking this on LF on BE too.
Hubby and I would like more than 2 children if we are able to. I like the idea of having 2 close together. My sister and I are 16mths apart (I wasnt planned!!) and on the whole we got/get on really well. After having my dd I realised as a mother two young children in age must be hard work. When expecting our 2nd people said 2, 3 etc are easier, at first i didnt agreem then when ds was 2mths and things got into a routine i understood where people were coming from.
For some reason I have always thought 4-5 chldren would be nice. with this number in mind i think i would prefer 2 and 3 close together then a gap then 4 or even 5. Obviously I dont know what the furture holds but I hope you get where i am coming from.
So my queston is how close is your smallest age gap, was it planned and what is it like being mum to 2-3 young children?

I get alot of attention when out with the kids as they are all so young but I wanted a large family... I would not change it for the world!
I have 5 there is 9 1/2 years between 1 & 2 but 13 months between 2 & 3 (age6 & 5 this week) and 17 month between 4 & 5 (22 months and 5 months)
I love small age gaps and i wouldn't change it for the world
Although noisy!
