[quote=Anonymous]12:09, I feel that way too, about introducing a new baby. (OP here) Mine will be four years apart. So in some ways, this is good. We won't have to pay for college at the same time, for one thing. We also won't have two in diapers (but I potty trained DS at 2 so I guess this is accomplishable for most age differences). People have told me that when the age difference is that wide, the older one can help some and likes to be included. We will also have DS in a PK program so he'll have his own things going on.

But, the pros of having them closer together, like you PP, are really clear, too. Better chance they'll be REALLY close all their lives due to the age similarities, less time to have to hold onto clothes (we have 4 years worth of hand me downs in our basement and it's getting out of control!). And sometimes it really just seems easier to have two closer together. We are OUT of baby mode, you know? Things are really-really-really easy around here now and, as you say, we're really introducing chaos into the mix!

I was super hesitant to go for number 2 but now that I'm pregnant the ambivalence has faded away a great deal and I'm psyched. Congrats to you! [/quote]
