My first child is almost 10 years apart from my second because I got a divorce from her dad. Basically, when she was about 5 we sepearated... only had one child for those 5 years bc she had significant special needs, I was in a full time doctoral program, and most importantly, I had fallen out of love with him and prob. unconsciously didn't want more kids with him. After our divorce, I met someone else and we eventually married. As soon as we got married, we had 3 kids close together bc of my "advanced maternal age" LOL! So, it was life's logistics that caused the odd spacing. <br /><br />Good luck with everything with your husband. Pls feel free to keep in touch via comments or my email (under the contact me tab). Best wishes!!<br />AliciaAlicia Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244714478310893367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-51573600641029751172011-02-18T22:43:02.706-05:002011-02-18T22:43:02.706-05:00Next time do the Trolley Ride.

Before this I had no idea that most of Hershey's profits (and all the profits from stuff like Hershey Park) go to support what is in effect a world class orphanage where the kids get raised in small loving group homes and Hershey pays for them to go to college. It's really quite amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-27171566762403410292011-02-13T16:14:36.211-05:002011-02-13T16:14:36.211-05:00I am a new reader from the hummingbird blog. I am ...I am a new reader from the hummingbird blog. I am a newlywed and my husband has a serious health condition (not incapacitating) that should remain stable and not worsen. We don't (yet) have children.<br /><br />I am wondering why you had your three little ones so far apart in time from your eldest child. Was this happenstance or planned? <br /><br />Having twins solves certain problems about spacing out the kids, but that's hardly plannable! I am interested in knowing why people choose the spacing they do. Very close together has obvious advantages and yet very far apart also does. We, like you, have a 'preexisting' medical condition to take into account, though they are not completely comparable. <br /><br />Thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077075126044741218.post-36032832717867940452011-02-09T15:19:59.570-05:002011-02-09T15:19:59.570-05:00mmmmmmmm...

I remember going to Hershey as a seventh grader and the whole town seemed to smell like chocolate.
