I would sure do it especially if you are ready! i am afraid to have more children later on because our bodies are not as resilient the older we get along with me not wanting to be in my 50's or 60's and taking care of a teenager. but thats just me. how exciting you guys are thinking about it! ↑

I'm totally with evae777...I got pregnant right away...I have a 4 month old and am due is September so they will be 10 months apart!! I will tell you I'm a very in shape, energetic 31 year old and say all the time how I can't imagine being much older of a mother because it is a lot!! And I have a very easy baby. I'm glad we wound up getting pregnant so quickly for that reason...if you just put it off and wait, you're only getting older. PLUS, they'll be further apart in age which isn't so cool when they get older. Get pregnant now!! :):) ↑

Hi Amy. I currently has a son who just turned 2 and I am 22 weeks pregnant. My original plan was to have a second when he was over 3 so that he would understand what was happening and be semi-self sufficient. I am very glad that they will only be 2.5 years apart. I don't think I could go back to diapers, car seats, strollers, and all the fussiness if my son had been older. Just my personal opinion. ↑

I say do it right away - mine are all about 4-5 years apart and I wish I had done it closer - good luck ↑
