My 2 boys are 20months difference and I love it. At first it was really exhausting though - but I always knew it would just better and better as they got older. Now 1 year later I can already see the wonderful bond between them and they are starting to really play together - I love when they sneak down to DS1's room and its all quiet and I go to check and here they are playing cars together on DS'1 mat. They love to make each other laugh too...I love it!

We were unofficially trying to conceive #2 straight after DS1 was born - so was prepared to have a close age gap between them too if it was meant to be (DS1 was a fertility baby - so was happy to give nature a chance with DS2)

But if we were to go round 3...I would love to wait til DS2 is about 3. My reasoning is that by the time I'm due to return to work...12months later (cause I probably will have to) DS1 will be in school and that way I can continue to have DS2 in childcare a couple of days a week so that I can have some quality time with #3 and keep up with housework and catch up on sleep as it was and still is exhausting when my boys take it in turns waking during the night - DS2 has only in the last few weeks beginning to sleep through the night more regularly - but DS1 has taken over in the mulitple wakes ups instead
