9, I'm impressed 
. I'm waiting to try for #3 but still pregnant with #2 so not sure that it counts, lol. This time we have a small gap as we didn't really wait to try we just got pregnant as soon as possible which was when LO was just under a year. I'd love to do the same again but to be honest I think it would be too much for us to handle so I'm thinking about a bigger gap this time, but can't be too big because of my age. Kind of dreading having to wait because being pregnant or TTC seems to have been my life for so long now.

Number 2! Getting married in 2 months so will be trying straight afterwards I'm so excited!! Lo will be 19m when we start trying again.
A lot of girls I was pregnant with first time round are now pregnant with their second and even though I've got our wedding to look forward to I'm sooooo jealous and feel left out! How silly of me!! Xx

It was and it wasn't. Some things were awkward like parks/soft plays cos dd still needed help with stuff - she never rolled or crawled so her gross motor skills were not good and even now and she is 5 her teacher has commented on this! Also potty training I did when ds was just 2 months old, so that was really difficult to go out and think about toilets etc with a buggy and toddler. But other than that it was fantastic! We stayed in a lot more than I did when I just had dd, but I had bought loads of play things for the garden, so we had a great time in the garden, and playing with toys. They adore each other so every little struggle at the beginning was worth it!
Possibly wtt for #4. We have 3 under 4 at the moment which is great but hard work. We are discussing logistics/finances etc so we'll see...
Wow, 3 under 4 is brave! We are about to have 2 under 2 and I'd love to have another one right away but I think its going to be too much. I have found this pregnancy quite hard going.

When my #7 was born I had 7 kids aged 8 and under - that was manic but you tend to get into the stride of things and just get on with it. It's hard work but totally do-able to have kids so close in age. My first two children were under a year apart, and after that all my kids were between 13-23 months apart until my last baby where I had a gap of 4 1/2 years.

Ide like the gap to be under 2 years if possible but if it doesn't happen then I'm hoping for under 3 years. I think it's because my 2 sisters are both quite a bit older than me (middle is 36 and eldest is 40 I'm 27) so it was quite lonely growing up and I wanted any children of mine to grow up quite close xx
