Pros and Cons?

Chick7806 · April 2011

I know you ladies get this all of the time, but if you have a good post you can link me to, that would be awesome. Or if you don't mind answering once again... DH and I are considering putting the BC aside and letting nature take its course... which could obviously lead to baby #2 in the near future. We want them close together. We originally thought we'd like to space them 3 years apart, but we are so in love with our daughter and want to go ahead and add to the family now.

So, what are the pros and cons? What things should we be considering? We have the money, but it would be tight. And we have enough space. I will probably get to work part time, and my mom takes care of my LO now while I'm at work. Thanks again for your opinions and ideas!

Things to consider: Temperament of your first LO, how well do you multitask, how well did you recover from L&D with your first one. It is harder n the beginning having a newborn and a young toddler, but I think it's hard to bring a newborn in the house no matter what age your other children are.

As you can see from my siggy I enjoy having two under two. I don't find it very hard, but different people have different experiences depending on their situations.
