Dd13 was born 4 months before I started grad school and dd11 my last semester. I agree that I wouldn't have necessarily planned it that way (especially b/c dh worked in a different state from where dds and I lived during school), but I wouldn't change it either.

I generally think that the age at which I had dd13 was ideal b/c, had I been any younger I wouldn't have had the patience to deal with her constant screaming and, had I been any older I never would have survived two years of no sleep since she slept in 30 minute intervals for the first two years and didn't sleep through the night until a bit after two.
