I have a DS and DD. DS is a little less than 3 years older than DD. I also had hoped for a 3rd, but it's not happening. I grew up with only a 18 mos younger brother and we are not close. We didn't really connect as kids and quickly grew into vastly different people. I would say my two are already much more of a team and closer than I ever was with my brother. They definitely squabble and there is jealousy/rivalry, but they beg to sleep over in each other's rooms and sometimes prefer to do things together as opposed to go play with friends. They have their own inside jokes and bond completely separate from me and DH. DS had an "about me" assignment at school and he wrote "My sister is my best friend" and I about died.

I do think you shouldn't go into it with assumptions about them having stereotypically gender-based qualities that might hamper their relationship  - DD is super athletic, loves soccer and rock-climbing with her dad, is gregarious and loud, while DS prefers individual sports and is more introverted, cautious, and creative. They had similar development timelines and milestones.[/quote]
