Did you plan on having widely spaced kids?

Or did it just happen?

I thought I was done after Emilio, I got and IUD and was happy with it for years in Nov of 2009 I got it removed and ordered another one to be inserted was scheduled beginning of Feb 2010 to get the new one but forund out I was pregnant at the end of Jan.

I didnt know how much I wanted it until I knew it was happening

We thought we were done after Adrea. I was on depo for 6 years before we finally decided that we wanted another. It took us about 10 months to get pregnant with Ryne. Then when Ryne was 6 months old, we found out we were pregnant with Brin. So I went from one wide gap to a really small gap.

Abigail definately wasn't planned. My DH and I thought we were done a very long time ago. But, as previously stated, I just didn't know how bad I really wanted another child until I got pregnant!

I didn't want such wide gap between babies. Mya is mine from a previous relationship and we met my DH when she was 2. I wanted another baby since she was 3, but DH kept holding out. So they ended up being 8 years apart. Now we plan on having one more when Lily is like 3.

My youngest DS was 8 when I had my baby girl and I think it was a perfect gap, although I think he did have a little jealousy issue at first.

We married at 19 and thought we'd have 4 before we were 'old and 30'

and had our first when I was 24...and I was pregnant with #2 on my 30th birthday. Next one came when I was 34 and the last when I was 38. We're done now!

My boys are 15, 9, 5 and 19 months currently!

Although not planned this way I love it...but not the fact that from when the oldest turned 13 to when the youngest turns 18 it's be 18 solid years of TEENAGERS in my house!

I guess I just 'joined' your board!
