Am I crazy for wanting another kid right now? We just got our son to start sleeping through the night. We can start getting full nights sleep again. Granted we've got decent sleep for awhile because he'd only wake up once through out the night. Its tough having a toddler running around and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of both while everyone is at work or that I really won't have any time to myself. We know we for sure want another baby but I know there are pros and cons to having kids closer in age and farther away in age. Any moms with 2 kids about 2 years apart share your experience with me? If you had a choice would you have waited longer or love it?

I only have one, but I think having kids in general is an adjustment it will most likely be difficult at first, but you’ll adjust. I hope to start trying when my son is 2, if you and your SO are ready for another those are the only opinions that really matter.

From a mom who has a two year old and struggles with infertility. I would love having another one already. My son is 2 and I really wish he had someone to play with. I say do it. They grow up fast. Even if it is hard for a few months it will continue to get easier as they grow and become more independent. ❤️❤️

@avahcruz yes its true I know it will be hard to adjust at first thats what worried me but, I'm realizing that by waiting or trying now it will be hard either way at first. My husband and I talked and we wanted to try this month or next but decided to try this month incase it took us awhile.

@brittgale thank you I think we will go for it! I'm just scared for the 3 month adjustment period lol

My two older girls are 19 months apart. I wouldn't have it any other way. I wish I could have another so the baby has someone close in age to play with.

No, you’re not crazy. I am planning my second pregnancy and my son Maximus will be 11months in 2days. I say go for it.

I had my two boys (technically 9mo apart) I just say 10 months though, Erick was born December 17th and AJ turned 1 Feb 21. Its definitely hard but I'm looking forward to them growing up together and being so close, and no it wasn't planned to have them that close Erick was a surprise and then he decided to be born at 35 weeks and 1 day.

@ashb9689 I couldn't imagine what it was like having 2 under 1 for a bit they will be best buddies I'm sure.

@aylenrose honestly it went by so fast and I was so exhausted that I truly don't remember it it was just a blur, as it is my days still blur together
