[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple things.

Each pregnancy is very different.  Each newborn is very different.  Don't assume you'll have the same issues again but obviously talk to your doctor.

Wait and space at least 3 years apart and 4 is better.  Makes a MASSIVE difference.

100 percent get a nanny.  Don't fit it around daycare.  Just get a nanny.  Sounds like you can easily afford it.  That takes away a lot of the pain points of getting 2 kids out the door in the AM and getting somewhere to pick them up.  Way less disruptions for illness, etc.  You can put oldest in morning preschool.  Consider it an investment in your sanity.

I had 2 kids doing above with a husband who worked non-stop and traveled a lot when my kids were little and I held down a relatively demanding (but also time constrained) full-time job.

My kids are older now and no regrets.  [/quote]

I have 3 kids and agree with all of this except the spacing. My first two are 20 months apart and god it's perfect. They play together, are best friends - really, having 2 for me is easier than 1 would've been because they will literally play together for hours. Ymmv but I wouldn't suggest necessarily waiting.

You for sure just need a nanny. No more daycare. A nanny.[/quote]
