My girls are 18 months apart - the oldest is 19 months and the younger is just 1 month old. Honestly, I wouldn't make a bigger gap than 2 years, I think in the long run it's wonderful to have a sinbling close in age, and an 18-month old doesn't understand jealousy and doesn't express it. My older girl is fascinated with the baby and thinks she's the coolest thing ever. :) I know it's a lot of work, but I am managing just fine. The key is to take some time for yourself every day or so, just go for a walk when hubby gets home, etc. or to the grocery store by yourself. It's a nice refresher.
