Want to hop on this crazy train... advice?

XP from Jan 2013 BMB... For the past few weeks I feel like I have baby fever again. I absolutely
LOVED being pregnant, and now that DS is here I am absolutely smitten.
My heart wants to have another LO right away, but my brain is not so
sure. DH and I only want two, and I love the idea of them being so close
in age. I also love the idea of them being in similar stages, ie out of
diapers around the same time, using similar gear at the same time, etc.
They will be sharing a room regardless (we are planning on moving in
about 5 years which is much longer than we would have waited to get pg
again anyway), and I think having them as close in age as possible will
make this easier once LO #2 is STTN. I also can't see waiting a few
years and doing the whole NB thing over again. DH is on the fence about
it, and considering NTNP and just kind of seeing what life brings us.
His biggest gripe is that DS is a really good baby, and "what if baby #2
is difficult?" He is also concerned about money (of course) but I feel like having them close will allow us to use (most of) the same gear which will help in the long run.
I know that there are a lot of posts like this, but I am hoping that you wonderful ladies can shed some light on if my logic actually holds true once LO#2 arrives as well as any opinions that you may have on room sharing. I REALLY appreciate your thoughts!

I would personally give it a little time and adjust to the family you have now and let your hormones and body regulate a little more. The only reasons I would hurry was for medical reasons or because of age.
