Im 10w3d pregnant with my 2nd child also, my daughter just turned 6 and personally i think the age of 5 and older is perfect timing to have the 2nd because you have one in school instead of them both being home. Also a 5yr old is able to be a big help with the baby also and the fact that they are independent and able to do for themselves makes life easier compare to those that have a newborn with a toddler. Im nervous about going from 1 to 2 and having to care for another life but I cant wait. A lot of my friends and family have 2 kids and had them a lot closer together than I am and most found it to be more difficult but I really have a feeling that I will have it a lot easier than they did. At least this time you know what to expect and do and you are not a 1st time mom anymore so that has to be another advantage. Best of luck to you Im sure you will be fine!
