I have a 29mth age gap b/w #1 and #2
19 mth b/w #2 and #3
and will have 20mths b/w #3 and #4.......

I lurvvvvve the 29mth age gap.......my oldest is 5 and my second is just bout to turn 3. They are the best of friends. They entertain, help, and understand how to play with DD#3 (whom is 16 months). If i didnt have my oldest around i think i would go nuts.....im feeling really anxious about the year ahead, as she is going to school (GULP !) and my little helper wont be around as much.....

But, as the others have said, its all about your family, what works well for you.....and whilst some people say to me 'oh its great to have them close together, all in nappies, all being TT together, get the baby kingdom days over quickly' i simply have found for me, the 29mth age gap worked sooooo much better and still is LOL. I enjoyed the pregnancy more too (#2 pregnancy).........i wasnt so busy, tired and run-down......

Good luck....agree with your DH....just see what happens.....
