My son is almost 10 months and my husband is DYING to have another one. We only want 2 kids and wanted to have them close in age but I'm worried this might be too early. He has been begging to have another since our son was about 6 or 7 months old. Him and his sister are only 16 months apart and are very close so he wants that for our kids. I'm just nervous about how much work it will be with 2 kids so young. Opinions?
Re: Baby #2?
Ours are 16 months apart and I wouldn't have any other way. It's true the 1st year is super busy, but we're really happy with our DD and DS. I'm on the 2under2 board sometimes. I have a lot of help from my family while DH and I work full time. If we were not financially stable or didn't have help from family, then our decision would have been different.
I'd say go for it! I can see how close our kids are and I love it. I wouldn't mind a 3rd at this point, but DH said we're definitely done. I love babies! They're growing up so fast!
But every family and experience is different of course!

I'm closest to my sister who is almost six years younger, and not as close to my older sister or younger brother, and we were all born within three and a half years.
