I don't think you're ever 100% ready for number 2... Or at least I wasn't, we just got to a time where it felt like the 'right' time. I had always had in my mind that I didn't want an age gap of much more than 3 years and the way it's worked out the gap between DS and this bub will be 2 years and 9 months.

I think what I am learning is that you can't pick the right age gap. I'd initially thought that our age gap would be 'perfect' because DS would be through the worst of the 'trying two's' and his language would be really well developed when bubs arrived. Now that we're getting to that point his language is great, but there are a whole host of other challenges that come along with the age. I can't say now that I expect this age gap to be any easier than it would've been if we only had a 2 year gap, or an 18 month gap. But, I do know that we're ready to become a family of 4, and to me that is the most important thing.

Not sure if I was much help. I guess I'm just saying that you'll know when the time is right.
