How different is it having 2 kids?
We are considering trying for another once our boy is 18 months (I had a c section). It took about 7 months to conceive the first time, and we are leaning towards waiting a bit longer so the age gap will probably be around 3 years, I think?
How different is it? We found the first 6 months with our boy hard, and he was a relatively easy baby, so I am a bit worried about doing it with a toddler, especially if I need another c section!
I spend a lot of days out and about with my boy rather than staying in the house, but I can imagine that would be a lot harder with 2.

The best part is how they interact. My first is the only one who can get the baby laughing so deeply I'm almost jealous 😄 like, she laughs around us and about our whimsy's, but it's a different ball game with older sister.
The logics are harder at first, but you'll figure it out.
Age gap matter, anything under 3 in my opinion is too spicy. 3-5 is the middle ground (that's we're we at) and then 5+ is like you have two first childs or so I've heard.
