I'll be honest here - I wanted my kids at least 2 1/2 years apart....if I had somehow gotten pregnant earlier than my set time frame I would have been really bummed ....I did not stop taking the pill until Harrison was 2.....I felt like even if I got pregnant right away (and I pretty much knew that wouldn't happen) that would give me time to potty train him and I def wanted that done before another baby came along. Based on when I went off the pill the earliest I could have had another baby was when he would have been just 3 months shy of 3 and that was okay with me..........but I got a bonus having him totally night time potty trained and everything by the time she came.

I really wanted time to be with him and not have to tell him to "be quiet", "move over", go somewhere else...etc etc because of a baby.
I really wanted my one on one time with him, to do all kinds of things with him and not be hindered by another little one. My mom had my sister right after I turned one and maybe deep down I resent that I never got to know that special time with just me and my parents...basically all my life she's been there and I love her don't get me wrong but I dunno....my mom was pregnant again when I was just 3 months old...I was their one and only for barely three months....I guess I have issues with this whole topic!

Oh and I just saw Hayley's adorable boys! I love sib pics! Thanks for sharing !
