Thoughts/Advice Needed From Moms of 2+

Hi!
I'm usually a lurker but wanted to get some advice from you ladies. I thought we were in the one and done club after I had horrible PPD and my daughter was a difficult newborn. Out of the blue last week I started bawling when I thought about not ever having another baby around. This really surprised me since I had been so adament before about not having another child.
If we were to have another child it would make the most sense for our family to have one sooner rather than later. My daughter is 9 months old so we would have two under two.This brings me to my question How have you all managed with this? Do you find you still have time to yourself and with your husband between working, two kids, and household responsibilities? That is probably my biggest fear. We have developed a very nice routine where we have plenty of time to spend with her but I still have time for myself and to spend with my husband. I am afraid that there won't be enough time for everything if we add another child to the mix. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!!

Side note - if you had severe PDD I highly recommend looking into placenta encapsulation. It helps decrease PDD symptoms and/or prevent them from occurring altogether.
To answer your questions- we do what we have to do. I get 'me time

I think the amount of time you would have with your husban
