There's 12 months between my girls and TBH I found it pretty hellish for the first 12 months or so. It is absolutely brilliant now though - they are incredibly close and have a lot of the same interests in things. DD2 can't do quite everything DD1 can, but geez she tries hard!

There will be 4 and 5 years difference between the girls and #3. Not what I would have chosen but that's just how it goes sometimes. I figure the downside is that there may not be anywhere near as strong a bond between the girls and this one. The upside is that I will have a ton of time to enjoy my new baby, without feeling like I'm neglecting the girls cos they'll be at kindy and school. They are also both old enough to understand and are so excited to be getting a little brother or sister.
