What do you think about having a second baby when the first baby is just three years old.

sure why not? it's up to you! and ofcourse you've got to get pregnant first, that can take a while too! i have a gap of 22 months between my daughters and i like it! ofcourse i can "kill" them sometimes or put them behind the wallpaper(dutch expression) but most of the times i enjoy being with my kids!

I think it's a wonderful age to have another baby. I had my daughter 1 month after my son turned 2! It was a little tiring, but it was still totally worth it. My son is now 5 and my daughter is 3 and they get along so good! I never had any sort of jealousy from my son toward my daughter that was more than just maybe wanting to be in my lap at the same time I was trying to feed the baby. But, that was just fine. My sister has a 5 yr old and a 1 year old and her 5 yr old is very jealous of the baby. I know that I am also 4 yrs older than my middle sister and my mom says that I showed quite a bit of jealousy. I like having my kids so close together. I know it is harder in some aspects, but I think it's a blessing in a lot of other ways. :)

Sounds pretty good! My 5 year old and my 2 year old are 3 years apart and they get along pretty good and the 5 year old was very helpful with him when he was born! He liked being the big brother and going to get me a diaper and what not. Seems like a pretty good age spread to me!
