Firstly, Caro, 3 years 8 months is a fantastic age gap between children. That is exactly the age difference between my 2nd and 3rd, both girls. Like you, at first I thought it would be a big gap, but it is just perfect. My older daughter is such a big help to me and her sister, and they NEVER fight with each other (probably won't stay that way forever). My 1st and 2nd are closer in age (2 years, 4 months) and they do bicker a bit.

My husband and I also weren't sure about going from 2 to 3, but are so glad that we did. Initially, my husband wanted a 3rd more than me, but eventually I came around. Now I won't lie to you and say its been easy for me, but it has been so rewarding. I've come to the realisation that life isn't meant to be easy all the time. Now I can't imagine our family any other way. I'm also one of 3 and growing up, I liked having more than one sibling (especially if I had a fight with one, there was another to play with).

Whatever you decide I'm sure you will be happy with your decision. Good luck!!
