Now, at ages 4 and 5, they are the best of friends and we couldn't imagine them any other way.Jane (a.k.a. patjrsmom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04315726536529466575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-3044692388634770392009-02-12T19:12:00.000-05:002009-02-12T19:12:00.000-05:00what a great post.

We had our first three in three years, 4 in 5 years, 5 in 8 years, 6 in 9 years and 7 in 13 years. <BR/><BR/>Tom and Amelia (number 5 and 6) are 16 months apart. I was really pregnant with Amelia when Tom was diagnosed with type one diabetes. Boy it was a struggle to have a new born and learn to manage Tom's diabetes. <BR/><BR/>They are now 7 (nearly 8) and 9 and have a great relationship. Because they were so close in age, they were referred to as the babies for a really long time by the older children.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866840456840793793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-5877907798907080962009-02-12T09:39:00.001-05:002009-02-12T09:39:00.001-05:00I was looking at photos of new baby Ben yesterday,...I was looking at photos of new baby Ben yesterday, and marvelling at the fact that Isabella was just17 months when he was born. Now Ben is almost 2 and still seems to be such a little baby... I think it was easy to think of 17-month-old Bella as older because I had a newborn to compare her to! I definitely was well aware I had two babies in the house, both needed so much from me at the same time... but, again, wouldn't have changed it for ANYthing. :)<BR/><BR/>As for comments, I also voted no because it is the easiest way to leave you little notes. :) However, it is ultimately up to you... if you find waiting for comments is too distracting to the purpose of the blog. :)Lerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08571871612772516612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-16304039481231397382009-02-12T09:39:00.000-05:002009-02-12T09:39:00.000-05:00What a neat post!

Our first two were 13 months apart and our next two were 16 months apart, then a bigger break--2 1/2 years--before our fourth arrived. Now that the older ones are 6,5, and 4, I realize that God knew exactly what he was doing for us and I'm so grateful. I would never have planned anything like that, especially in the midst of it when we were walking around like zombies and I was riding the hormonal roller coaster of pregnant-nursing-pregnant-nursing-pregnant nursing! That's the beauty of NFP; we let God tell us what's best for our family! :)<BR/><BR/>I voted 'no' in hopes that you will leave your comments on but it's your blog and what you do is up to you! I love the interaction with others. It's not so much about feedback for me (on my blog) as it is about a conversation via blogger.com. I enjoy it. I also lightly monitor visitors to watch for anything that's out of the ordinary but I do get a kick out of seeing visitor locations from different parts of the world. <BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great rest-of-the-week! :)Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13144780265730192629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-75896093398228128892009-02-12T08:08:00.000-05:002009-02-12T08:08:00.000-05:00I love this post...I SO agree!

You can never get those years back.<BR/>About the comments...I voted no, but I absolutely know how you feel. I have thought of doing the same thing. I know you know this, but comments aren't always a judge of readership. There are some blogs that have hundreds and hundreds of viewers a day and only get a few comments. I only read a couple blogs now, and don't look at my sitemeter or put any kind of "follow me" things...because I don't want to concentrate on that. So if you decide to not have them, I understand and might just do the same some day!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912466557223829314noreply@blogger.com
