[quote=Anonymous]I had a rough time with my first.  Tough baby, tough time transitioning to a new lifestyle.  I have a nearly four year gap and found pretty much everything about my second child to be a complete pleasure.   My first was fairly independent (huge), I had gained a lot of perspective on the early years (this too shall pass and it will get better and more fun), and I had relaxed a significant amount.  I ended up really enjoying my second baby in a way that I hadn't enjoyed my first and it was honestly therapeutic in a way.  As in...oh, so THIS is what it is like for other people when they're gushing over their infant and look so calm and happy.  If you're not ready now, wait a bit.  Siblings will be close to each other or not based on their personalities and other variables, not necessarily if they're close in age or far apart in age.  You will find an anecdote to support every sibling spacing on the planet (and they've all been posted on DCUM), so do what is best for you.[/quote]
