5 year age gap?

Millie

We have a 6-year-old and a 3-year-old, and lately we’ve been thinking about possibly adding one more to our little crew—maybe in about six months. If we do, our youngest would be almost 5 and our oldest would be 7 by the time a new baby arrives. I’m curious—does anyone else have a bigger age gap between their kids? How has it been for you? Do you enjoy the dynamic?

I don’t have that “I’m done” feeling yet—I’ve always envisioned having a bigger family. That said, we’ve held off on trying for a third for a while, mostly because my husband has gone through a period of depression since our youngest was born.

I’d really love to hear from others who have experience with wider age gaps between kids. Thanks so much!
