When is it a good time to try for No. 2

Flissty put how Im feeling perfectly!

I am dead tired from being on call 24/7 for sure! Im lucky that I didnt have bad MS this time, i did with Caden, but Im more tired this time cos he is crawling and pulling himself up to stand and things like that, so Im running around all the time and my batteries are slowling dying lol!

We would have liked a 2 year gap, but sometiems these things just dont happen like you planned them. However, we are over the moon and Im sre I will be just fine! I dont thinkw e will have anymore and if we do it wont be for at least 4 years! I need a break LOL

There is definitely no "ideal" gap. Alot depends on their personalities I would think. Conception doesn't always go to plan as well - "best made plans of mice and men" and all that, ha ha.

There is a 3yr 4mnth gap between 1 and 2 and a 2yr 4mnth gap between 2 and 3. It took us about a year to get pregnant with number 2 which was unexpected.

Personally I enjoyed number 2 more as a baby as number 1 was more independent, but then felt number 2 missed out on my time as number 3 took over.

It was also a pain finding time for number 3 to sleep in between school and kindy trips.

Basically, there are pros and cons for longer age gaps and for shorter .
The age gap between Caitlyn and Tyler will be 7 years, which Im fine with , I get to spend time with Ty during the day (which will include sleeping when he is btw ) and DF can take over in the early evenings so I can spend time with my girl .
However , when I was growing up I never planned it that way , I had all my kids (all 10 of them ) in quick succession , but life doesnt always give a toss about your plans .
This is the way it is tho and imo there is no point worrying or regretting things you can't change .
Between Tyler and the next one tho (shhh , dont tell DF) I would like 18month-2yrs , but we'll see what happens
