[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the helpful replies. To answer some PPs questions...we both work full time. DD goes to daycare. We have supportive family but they live a few hours away, so not available on a daily or quick notice. And yes, we are sleep deprived...in the way I assume most parents of toddler's are sleep deprived. DD is a lot of fun now and I would say we are not necessarily more stressed than any other busy family. I guess it's more thinking about the newborn days - they were a really TOUGH transition for us. Looking back, I thought I was busy and sleep deprived before I had a kid and now I can't imagine that I ever thought that :-). I think that's probably normal, but now, in thinking about adding a second to the mix - and going through all that again - it's just hard to imagine where there is extra time, energy, and attention for a second. But there are fun things too that I get excited in thinking about. IF we got pregnant immediately, DD would be just shy of 3 when the new baby arrived. But of course, no guarantees that it would happen right away as others have noted, and that biological clock keeps on ticking...
Of course everyone is right that it's a personal decision - but it helps to hear perspectives on the spacing and how much added chaos it really is. [/quote]
