OP: Thanks so much for replying. I am surrounded by people in education and I know that while I want to start off in the classroom, I don't want to stay in the classroom. I want to remain in education but I'd prefer j more the policy/curriculum side. I have some friends and relatives that are attorneys---I'm not sure how to take their advice: they all say go for law school. However none of them are in education law and they all received their degrees with the idea of purely practicing in a firm. They also received those degrees anywhere from 15-20 years ago. I know the general advice right now is to stay away from a law degree if you plan on practicing law solely and therefore will be looking for a traditional legal job but in essence I would be using the JD to assist me while following my career trajectory in education.

np THIS. I got pregnant (not planned!) right away after my first. They are 11.5 months apart. I certainly wouldn't recommend THAT little spacing (ideally you want to give your body a couple years or so to heal), and I concede that the first year or so with two so close was VERY rough. But now I've found that I really love how close they are in age. It's made it easy when planning fun activities and such because they are generally on a similar level. They are best buddies, and it's really been cool for us. I also know a friend with two close in age who feels like they are more competitive, and clash more because of the small age difference. So I think the ideal spacing varies greatly based on personalities, etc. [ Reply | More

16 months for me. So happy! Both out of diapers and easy having them at the same stage. I would never want to go back to the infant stage now and youngest is only 2.5. [ Reply | More
