    Pregnant with a toddler, hands down. I wouldn't want it so much for the pregnancy, but more for after the baby came. Two babies would be too much for me to handle, though a baby and a toddler isn't a walk in the park.

    Toddler. My kids are 2.5 years apart and I think its prefect and handling DS1 while pregnant wasn't too hard on me.

    I'm pregnant with a 6 year old and it's pretty nice because he's so understanding.

    @Dandelion: That makes sense! I might take advantage of that one though, "Hey child, can you get mommy some crackers and ginger ale stat?"

    @anonysquire: Yep...guess who gets the clothes out of the dryer? lol. He's so small, he doesn't have to bend down like I do, so it's easier for him.

    @anonysquire: When he was about a year old, I was ready for another...but life had other plans and I got divorced instead...so by the time I got around making more kids he was older. Now that he's older and I'm going through it, I don't know what I was thinking before, lol.

    We are planning on TTC when LO is 18 months old making the kids just over 2 years apart if everything goes according to plan (ha)

    My friends who were pregnant while taking care of a baby seemed to have a much tougher time than the ones whose older children were toddlers, not just physically but emotionally. I'm glad my LOs will be just about 3yrs apart.

    My LO is 5 months, and I'm nowhere near ready. I love having this time with just her. Our plan was to wait until she was 2 to start trying again, but somedays I want to wait longer. I'm sure I will get the baby fever again, but right now I just love having this special time to really get to know her.
    Obviously I would still love her just as much if I got pregnant...I don't know, there is something about it being "just us" that feels really nice right now.
    Plus, I'm totally exhausted...so I don't know how I'd deal with the crazy fatigue of pregnancy and still have the energy to play with her!
