I've talked to a few people who waited longer (either by choice or bc they had miscarriages), and then the older child was potty trained and eating
We got pregnant on the 2nd cycle this time as opposed to the 10th with DD. We were in the same boat as you. I wanted a summer baby again, but had no idea how long it would take.
