Answer 1

If you feel ready..then you are ready. Good Luck!

Answer 2

me + you right now baby

or just ask him

Answer 3

now would be a good time there is good spacing between the two children the 5 year old can even help. Now the question is do you guys have some money set aside for the time you will be home recovering? also, if your husband can afford the bill while your off on leave. if the answer is yes, congrats on your soon to be pregnancy.

Answer 4

Wow put some thought in it...one was fun but two is more like a job....LOL a full-time job, but on the other hand a job you absolutely love (I'm on my third) only you know the answer to that!

Answer 5

Eeek, another baby and you guys don't own a house yet?

Makes me nervous. If you get pregnant, you'll have to take a maternity leave afterwards. Will your job be OK with that? Who's going to take care of the baby for the first year of their life?

Answer 6

Waiting to be financially ready for another baby is like waiting for eternity to end. I have wanted kids for a long time, and always said I wanted to be financially stable before I had kids. Then I watched my aunt at 36 finally have a child. This is way to late in life for me to have a kid. Other's it may be a great time. But it left out precious time for her to have another. They only have one child now, because of waiting so long to be financially stable to have one. I have twins and I'm 24, the perfect age for me to have kids, and we don't have a lot of money, we just barely get by. But this is the time I'm happy to have them. That way when I'm in my 40's, I can enjoy myself once again and be around for my granbabies to grow up.

Answer 7

You are more ready then I, Do it, you both have good jobs and medical care and seem to want another one.

Answer 8

YOU SHOUlD HAVE iT WHEN YOUR READY♥

Answer 9

There is no good time to have another kid....some range from 1-3 yrs apart.....It is whether do u guys want another? Can u afford another? Not only that, u've got to get ur 5 yr old son on it too. He is old enough to think......

Answer 10

I think there is never a true "right" time to add to your family..if you keep waiting for the right time to come, it may never...you and your hubby seem to have it together and if you think you can provide well for the baby then it probably is time...good luck
