I only have the one right now and he is nearly 18 months. If we had fell pregnant with #2 when we originally wanted to, I'd be having he/she by now. In hindsight this would have been very difficult for us! He is a very full on little boy, and though we love him to bits we're glad when it's bedtime He's not bad or naughty - he just likes our attention, loves going out and doing new things, and at the moment is very rough and NOISY. Even though this is all normal I'm exhausted by the end of the day, can't imagine how it would be if I had to look after a newborn with the sleep deprivation that goes with it!

It's really a family choice, if we had a little newborn we'd obviously make it work. But I think for us just that little bit more of a gap is going to be more beneficial. Good luck!
