Hey,

I have 2 of my 4 kids that I want. I therefore only have limited experience with how the wanting to ttc happens except for me I was really truly 100% ready to TTC my second. I think thats the way to go. I have 27 months gap which I find perfect. I know that we are not ready to try and think we'll have two "batches' of children. Wait a couple of years and then have 2 more. So at the moment, even though i KNOW I want more children i am not desparate to have one now..

As far as number 2 coming along and what it means for number 1... I think its a little bit personality dependant but I just feel as though having two kids made the house more love filled. I make sure to "join" them, so if I need to pay attention to one who's upset I talk to the other about why and invite them (usually DD) to help me give love to the other. They reserve the biggest smiles and laughs for each other. Their relationship makes me so proud.

I think given my experience of 2 pregnancies and planning more that you will know when you're ready to TTC again.
