Hi,
Just chatting for fun.
My question is, how much time is there between your first and second child?

    In a bit more than 2 years. I guess 2 years and 2 months. Son born in Sept 2014 and now due in mid-December.
    I wanted to wait at least a year to get pregnant again due to pelvic instability, and in the end it took longer. My son can already do quite a few things on his own and expresses himself well, though he still takes an afternoon nap. So I expect that getting used to having 2 kids will be easier for me than with less time in between. 2 kids with only a 1-year difference seems really tough to me. Also the pregnancy, because I'm noticing that now too. That first pregnancy was pretty easy compared to when you already have kids running around.

    The gap between my first and second is 3 years and 10 days. Between the second and third it's 2 years and 24 days.

    There's a 2-year and 2-week gap between our girls. The youngest is now 9 weeks old.

    Our oldest is luckily very easygoing, so I had expected it to be much busier and more stressful.

    Between our first and second daughter, there’s exactly 1 year and 8 months.

    There's a 5-year gap between the second and third.
    I consciously didn't want such a small age difference
    Because of the tropical years.

    Almost 8 years old for us. Didn't consciously choose it, but that's just how it went.

    We'll have about a year between the two kids

    Hi everyone,
    For my master's thesis at the University of Antwerp, I'm researching baby naming.
    Since you're all so active (or were) here, I'd love to ask if you'd be willing to fill out the survey below. Unfortunately, I can't offer you anything except huge amounts of karma points!
    Thanks in advance!
