I want another...

[sezzyscratch]

Hi all. I had my first baby and she's going to be 6 months soon. Now I have always wanted more then 1 as I think in the long run a child with a playmate is less hard work. So I don't really want a big age gap, and also I'm 37 in a couple of months so time is not on my side! I was planning on starting to try again after my birthday. I don't expect to get pregnant straight away at my age so I think it will leave enough of a gap between my pregnancies. But what is it really like having two, a very young toddler and a new born?

To be honest everyone relished in telling me what I was letting myself in for with my first. Sleepless nights, exhaustion etc... but, touch wood, I've had it pretty good. I'm lucky that she sleeps well and she's not a fussy baby. Of course that could change and change just as I'm dealing with a new born. But thinking like that I could just delay it forever and miss my window.

Any experiences you can share will be appreciated, and useful tips for dealing with two!
