There is 27 months between my older brother and I then 42 moths between my younger sister and I.

DD will be nearly 6.5years before jellybean makes an appearance. But I'm happy with the age gap - she is already at school and quite independent for her age (she had to grow up quickly after she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes). I think she will also be an awesome help with the baby when it arrives (ie passing nappies, listening for cries). She already likes to comfort me when I'm not well so she has a great caring instinct.

For me it wasn't about age gaps or anything. Things just happened and I feel we all adapt under different circumstances. I do however take my hat off to those who all have their children close to one another - its not something I could of coped with!
