I agree with Sarah - I have a gap of just under 3 years between mine two. But if we hadn't lost bub #2, there would have been about 20 months between our first and second.

This is definitely not the way I wanted things to go, I wanted my children much closer...the universe had other plans for us. But I must stay, now that I have a 3 yr old and a 7 month old, some days I do wonder how I would have coped. I know I would have (what choice do we have?!) but I do think about how challenging it would have been. I find myself spread too thin at times as it is.
