From the introductions I saw that I think quite a few of us will have a pretty big age gap between our youngest and oldest ... my DD will be 6 1/2 when this babe is born!
I'm really looking forward to her totally understanding what it means to have a baby in the belly (she already knows how babies are made)
- to experience that miracle. And she'll be a great helper. I kind of like the idea that it will be like having two only children - this baby will get tons of attention while she's at school, etc.
What do you think about a big gap? Are you worried? What about you and your siblings - are you close to a much older or younger bro or sis? Do you already have a big age gap in your kids? How has it worked out?
I'm an only child so it's all new to me!

This is a completely different and new experience for me--there was only 15 months between my first two, so this is a huge, HUGE age gap to me. 
I was just telling my MIL the same thing this past weekend--that while the girls are in school I'll be able to have a little one-on-one time with the baby, which I had with both C&E too, since C came first, and then she was still taking 2-3 naps a day when E arrived.
