My post from last March...I'm close to you with regards to the separation between my son and daughter. One in January, then the second in July the next year. I like that they're close in age though. We decided to wait as well but when the time came to decide if we wanted another, looked at our lives, and with my son's autism, we decided it was best to stand pat. Got cut, moved on. I agree with Draegan though, when they're really young having them close together is fucking exhausting.
Two kids under the age of two is NO JOKE! It is known.Regarding having a 2 year old and a newborn. My boys are 18 months apart. A friend asked me if having two kids (under 2 years of age) both in diapers is twice the work, I replied "it is not twice the work, it is quadruple!" Enjoy it though, it goes by so fast!
EDIT:
And for any of you guys that have yet to see your wife give birth, here is a nice little warm up for you.
