[quote=Anonymous]PP here about the close gap. Well obviously I don't have personal experience in long gaps- other than my family of origin- and three of us were 9 years apart because my mom suffered 3 miscarriages in between pregnancies. We were all in very different phases, my parents were in different worlds with each of us, and we aren't close. I also have several friends who suffered from secondary infertility- they are having their second infant now while we are off on ski vacations or dude ranch excursions with all three kids. I was 34 with my third they were 39. They feel more tired- they feel like they "forgot" how hard a baby was, their older child has been a singleton for 5 years and is going bonkers at not having all the attention. All sorts of different issues. People who waited too long and experienced secondary infertility then waited years longer than planned.

I'm not saying what I liked is what you have to like. I'm simply saying that I liked it. I stayed at home with them- and I loved it. They are best friends, share friends, all ride the bus together (or will this coming year when the youngest enters k) and it's awesome. I got to have a great career then have kids before I hit AMA- it worked well for many reasons. If that doesn't sound good to you? Easy! Don't do it.[/quote]
