Well I think this question would change depending on who you asked. Some people like having all off there kids close together, but since you asked me, I would say that I like only having Alex right now. When he gets older, maybe in kindergarten, we will think about having another. I feel pretty strongly about this, of course if something were to happen and I got pregnant earlier than that it would be OK. I like the idea of having Alex old enough to where he had all of mommy's attention when he was a baby, and now when he is at school I could give the new baby that kind of attention too. I would like to have Alex out of diapers too, I think it would help a lot.

Also I think that when they are older the enjoy being the older brother/sister to where they can help out their parents, and teach the new baby how to do things. I have an older brother that is 6 and a half years older than me and I wouldn't change a thing about the relationship that we have. Maybe that is also why I'm partial.

You shouldn't change when you think it is best for you to have your second child based on anyone else opinion. When you feel you are ready and your other child is ready, go for it and best of luck to you!
