Have I been bitten by the venemous bite of the baby bug yet again? It seems to be biting hard and fast around these parts nowadays. I'm not too sure how many or few children we'll end up having. It's hard to imagine us stopping at just two but there are the days when no more children seems like a really mature and wise decision for the sake of mine and Dustin's sanity. Part of me just wants to get it over with now so we can be free of diapers by the time we turn eighty. But I'm so enjoying the freedom that comes with children getting older. Maybe freedom is the wrong word choice. Actually, come to think of I still have very little freedom and the hope of such a luxury seems like a tiny door at the end of a loooooong narrow hallway. And why does it seem as though I'm running on a treadmill trying to get to it?
again. . . sigh.
Any of you veterans with grown children have any advice for me? Space em out? Or jam pack em into a few short years and be done with it?

My mom says to pack em in. And I think you should pack em in. But then again, I have no children. What does your mom say?

I have no experience with this and I too have the baby bug and am contemplating things...
I've heard arguments for both sides and I think I've decided that closer together is better. I think we'll be trying for #2 in a few months. And then stopping. Jordan says the kids can never outnumber us! :)
Good luck!
Hi Christy. I say jam em in. Then you can still be young enough to enjoy them when you get a litte bit older, and still have the energy. Although I still wish I had kids at home. Time goes so fast. I'm only in my forties and am a grandma. I guess the decision is up to you and your hubby and God. Either way , enjoy every stage of your kids lives because time does go so fast. It seems like only yesterday I was walking Jordan to kindergarten.
words of wisdom from your Mom? well I had my first 3 within 3 1/2 years and I really felt like I couldn't give each of you the time you deserved and yet you were all so close and had so much fun together and at the same stage at the same time . But then I had becky more than 3 years later and I loved the time I could spend with her yet she feels like she really missed out on the closeness you 3 shared so I guess I'm tryng to say both sides have its ups and downs . THats just like life eh? love Mom
Having my first two 2yrs apart almost made me crazy so with Brooklyn I waited that extra year. It really has been a breeze and I would do it that way again. Delaney and Avery play together and loved to help with Brooklyn. I hope Brooklyn won't feel like she missed out on being close with her older sisters. I could have another but 3 is very busy!
Now I'm not experienced in this subject at all, but when we have kids, I think we will pack them in close together... Which isn't too hard with 2-3 kids, but I think it's nice for kids to have siblings close in age.
Want some advice from your aunt? PRAY,PRAY,PRAY. This is one of the hardest decisions facing young couples,no one can answer this for you. God does not give everyone the same "gifts/talents". Our "quiver" was full at 6. My friends' was full at 3. Be still and listen to HIS voice,you will get an answer.
