What's the age spread of your family?

Me and dh are 39 and 43 respectively.

My older two girls are from a previous marriage, so they are dh's stepdaughters.

My 19yo daughter has left home this year, and is living down the road a bit.

My 17yo daughter is doing VCE this year.

My 11yo is dh's first bio child. She's in grade six.

My 9yo daughter is in grade 4.

My 4yo daughter started preps this year - she's growing up too fast!

My little baby will be born in April - ultrasound says it's a boy, which I think is hysterically funny.

DH and i both turn 31 this year.

There is 2.3yrs between DD1 and DD2

there is then 2yrs 5days between DD2 and DS

I would like another one or two bubs....

I can so understand that you find the idea of a boy funny. My husband and i were totally shocked when our 3rd was a boy. When he was born we kept saying, Is that a penis LOL.... and trying to learn how to wipe all that poo of their balls....so so so funny.

DD1 started prep last week!

DD2 will go to kindy in 2011 and school 2012....so if i have the same age gap i will always have 3 at home OMgoodness

My hubby and I are both 34. My eldest two dds are from a previous relationship so Darren is stepdad but has been dad since Emmy was a baby. Jess is nearly 15 in year 10,Emmy is 12.5 in year 8, Livvy (Dh's first bio) is 10 in year 5, Sammy is 3, going to kindy next year and miss Ruby is 4 weeks! Great spread...keeps us young!

I so know what you mean with a boy..was such a shock for us...very different energy thats for sure, but the greatest cuddles!

my DD's are 11 and 8.

My boy due in April.

I kind of think raising a boy is going to be like living in a foreign country.... fun, exciting, really looking forward to it... but wierd, and different and some things taking a lot to understand.

But SOOOOO looking forward to it.

DS will be 3 in May.
Having a boy has been a very steep learning curve!!!!!!

A fair few sixteen and seventeen year olds in the mix... hope you are all having a relatively easy time of it!

Halltribe, I can't imagine having four under four. Having two under two was bad enough for me, I was just exhausted all the time.

[mrsmac]

I wonder if anyone'e 16 or 17 yr olds will end up having kids young? I bet not! My DD has been completely turned off babies and pg by seeing me with DS LOL

Me 39 DH 34

DD is 13 and just started highschool
DS is 10 and in year 6
DS (DH's bio son) is 2

My big two are amazing with Aston. I thought the novelty would wear off - but it hasn't - they love him to bits, and him them. I would love to have another - only if I didn't have to do the pregnancy bit ... think it would knock me down for good.

Hi
I'm 35, Dh is 37
We have 6 girls and one boy in the middle.
DD 12 and DD 11 (10 months apart)
DS 6 and DD 5 (11 months apart)
DD 3 and DD 3 (twins)
DD 20 months
Baby # 8 due in August and according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar which has never been worng to date, this one is a boy. Which I also find hysterically funny considering the twins were our shot for another boy. Sure it will be a boy considering it would be a lot more convenient in terms of bedrooms for us to have another girl!
