[quote=Anonymous]Mine are 27 months apart and I like the spacing. 
Pros: first kid was old enough when second kid was born--could talk/communicate well, almost potty trained, sleeping solidly, could play independently often, etc and yet young enough/close enough in age that we were still in baby mode and it was relatively easy to go back to having a baby again since we had just done it not too long before, as they get older they have similar interests, similar activities, at the same school, even share some friends, play together a lot 
Cons: first kid kind of stops being babied maybe a tad sooner than they would otherwise (but maybe that's actually a good thing?), spread pretty thinly for first few months while both are young enough to be very demanding (but that might be true no matter the age difference depending on your first kids personality), you'll likely wind up wanting to buy a double stroller and may also want to buy a 2nd crib (of course neither of these is essential and plenty of kids w this age difference probably don't need them but we did), I at times felt guilty not getting enough one on one time w our first before second was born but I think I may have felt like that no matter what...

Overall this gap has been positive for us for sure.

Good luck![/quote]
