I had no clue about giftedness when we started, so it didn't enter our planning at all until number 2 was on his way. By then we knew number 1 was and were wondering if it would be the same for his brother.

We decided to wait and discuss more a bit later, but Dylan wasn't waiting for us to decide anything and surprised us.

The age spread is just under 2 years with the first two and just over 2 years with the middle and youngest child.

I'd love more and DH is afraid to have more. I don't think the giftedness is affecting the decision here - for DH, he wants to start travelling and is concerned that if we have more babies we never will. Also, being the primary breadwinner I think he feels the stress of providing for all of us - esp since I am rather entrepreneurial and keep expanding my business, which often chews a not-insubstantial portion of our monthly income.
