@baxter006 Props to you mama for taking in kiddos in need! Our gaps are pretty small:
B to G1 & G2 (twins) - 13 months
Twins to G4 - 22 months
The gap between G4 and baby #5 will be around 21 months
@madphil Maybe you’re foreshadowing for me! I never thought I would have girls (not gender preference or anything, I just didn’t really see it), so the fact that I had three in a row is crazy! We’ve really exhausted our girls name list 😂
@jojoz All joking aside, there’s pros and cons to different age gaps. If you feel you’re on a time crunch due to age but you’re wanting a 3rd, I say do it. I would always be wondering what if.
@hanspeter We have 3 under 2 and have an VW Atlas. We like it a lot - I was adamant on not getting a minivan but SUVs like the Suburban were not in our budget. The trunk space is great - fits our double stroller well. The only catch is if we have another baby (which we want to in a couple...
@guitarofgod I got pregnant with my first at 24. I ended up miscarrying at 3 months but got pregnant fairly quickly thereafter and ended up having my rainbow baby at 25. Currently I’m 27 and we have three kids. Like you, we want a big family and in an ideal world, I’d like to be done in my mid...
@starofhope I think we’re definitely going to have to move soon-ish. We really want to make the space work for as long as we can because we moved while rents were low (peak pandemic) so we’d easily pay $750 - $1000 more than what we’re paying now. Hopefully we can make it work, but we’re...
@runswithdogs Definitely a good tip! My babies have gotten the RSV vaccine.
Not as much of a challenge as you think. Kid #4 always gets loaded in first since she’s still very small. Big kids have been conditioned to hold hands and hold onto an adult (or hold onto my leg while loading baby sis...
I have 4 kids (currently pregnant with my 5th). I always find it fascinating with families that have lots of kids what genders came in what order. I have B,G,G,G. No idea what Baby #5 is, but we’ll find out at delivery. What about you guys?
@sal4 Congrats to you!! I feel pretty good! I’d say I’m pretty athletic though and I think that helps A TON. I still plan to run/strength train during this pregnancy (pending complications of course). I’m also young (I’ll be 30 by the time bub is born) and have quite frankly spent thousands in...
@jennifers60 We will definitely need a bigger car. While we have a 7 seater currently, we need one of the back seats folded down all the time to get my daughter in. So time is definitely ticking on that.
