I am also going to try for #2 next months which will make DS 8 months old. I know it will be harder this time as with my first pregnancy I gave up work at 8 weeks and so could just sleep, relax, eat whenever I wanted. But at the same time I am looking forward to it as well. I too want my kids to be close in age, and I guess one bonus for me is that I will have my family and be done with being pregnant soon and then I can enjoy my kids as they grow together.
