@PumpkinSpice, yay pregnancy! I loved the kicking around in the belly, it would give me this profound sense of everything being good in my world. And having to pee =) What do you guys think is the optimal time between kids? I worry about kid 2 ruining things for kid 1, but I’m the younger sibling, and love having a sister.
Chiming in here to comment on kid spacing – I have an 8 year old, a 2 year old, and an 8 month old. I love watching my older daughter with her younger sister and brother, and when my two year old was born it was nice that my older daughter could understand why I was tired or needed help, so I really thought I wanted to wait another couple years to have another. My son had other ideas, and now that I also have two close together I think it is nice because I remember the baby days a lot more clearly. So both close together and far apart are cool in my opinion!
My nieces are 2.5 years apart, and their soon-to-be-born sister will be about 2.5 years younger than her next older sister. It means that the kids are out of diapers before the next one comes along, which is a great help. And they won’t be as competitive in school because they’re far enough apart. I think that it’s just about right.
In contrast, my older brother and I are too close in age (18 months), and we were only a grade apart in school, which made things really hard because we were both so competitive. My younger brother and I are too far apart (almost 6 years), and he was essentially an only child from 7th grade on when I left for college.
Can we go back to cinnamon rolls? I’m thinking about making panettone (even though it’s really for Christmas. Christmas in February is good, right?) in the next few days. Or maybe lemon curd. Yum.
Oh, and Addie, did you &&choke on your cinnamon roll?
MM, cinnamon rolls. Has anyone else on here ever had Duffeyrolls? Best cinnamon rolls ever. I think I might have to sneak into the factory down the street.
Regarding how long btwn babies, my Grandpa who is like a walking medical book (no joke, he should have been a doctor) said to wait about 3 yrs in between each birth to give your body enough time to fully heal.
I’m the oldest. The next is 1 yr, 11 months younger than me. I couldn’t stand her. At all. We fought constantly and for whatever reason, I really just didn’t like her. Now, we’re cool and quite close. But man…. when we were young…
There’s another one, six years younger than me. I didn’t know her that well growing up because I was already doing my own thing. Again, we’re cool now.
