    RainbowBrite - I had to read that twice just to make sure I had it right You sure have your hands full.

    Thanks Heather - any perspective is good for me.

    Sas85 & Sammy, we are all in the same boat I guess.

    DH and I were talking today about when to have #3 and I always thought we should wait till DD1 is 5 (starting school) and DD2 is 3 (they have a 18month gap). DH said we should try sooner ( yay for him coming round to a third) because he thinks that they should all be close in age so the youngest never feels left out.

    I guess either way I would like to wait until around late June/July next year anyway, got a trip to Vegas in April/May first

    I prefer smaller age gaps. Toddlers tend to settle into having a sibling easier than preschoolers (or maybe that was just mine) and the less the older children have a school/kinder routine the easier it is to slot a new baby into it.

    I am interested in these responses as I've been wondering what the best gap to try for between my kiddies.
