We chose a two year gap, but it's taken so long to get pregnant, that by the time this bubs is born, it'll be a 5, almost 6 year gap! I really wanted them to be closer together in age, so they could be close, and play with each other lots etc. But now that it's turned out this way I can see the benefits. Harmony seems to be at that age where she'll be less likely to be jealous of the new bubs.

Also, she's at an age where she can ask questions about the pregnancy, about babies, about the birth, and even make a more informed decision about whether or not she wants to be at the birth. She also seems really keen to help out. We've talked about how the baby won't be able to play much at first, and have worked out things Harmony can do to entertain her, such as play peek a boo, this little piggy and other rhymes like that, read to her and sing to her. I just feel that she's at an age where she can think this way lol.
