[quote=Anonymous]I was "old" when I had my first kid, almost 37, so I didn't have a ton of time to wait if I wanted a second, which I definitely did. Just as influential was my desire to have kids close in age. My only sibling is 8 years younger, and as a kid I wished I had a sibling around my age. Initially I'd considered starting to TTC when #1 was 12 months, but she was in the midst of major bedtime issues then, so I chickened out. We started TTC when she was almost 15 months old. My kids ended up 26 months apart, and now I almost wish they were closer--the little one is 9 months, the older almost 3, and they are in such different stages that the age gap seems bigger than it is (and the almost-3-year-old is NOT a "mature" 3 at all). But I think in a year or two, when they can play together, the difference will seem smaller.[/quote]
