I realize I'm thinking about this too much; I'm too logical and like to plan everything!

[quote=Quiltforme][My kids are 3yrs 8 months apart and I love the age difference then our planned baby came 6 years later even better. It is amazing how the older ones want to help and still need you everything will happen in Gods time relax and enjoy each other for now! The family time will be even more special!
My boys are 2 years and 9 months apart and as Quiltforme mentioned, they both got along well (taking into consideration the usual sibling rivalry that goes one no matter what the age difference.)
We moved when the boys were older and that was a challange in itself. When we did move, we already had a house bought since my DH's company had transfered him and I was able to come over to house hunt ahead of time. I personally would wait and do the move first if you definitely know you will be moving. As far as health insurance, once you leave your job you will not have it whether you have your baby before or after. The medical expenses will still be there after the child is born. Unless you already have a place waiting for you when you move, finding a house hunting with a child might be trying, unless you have family who can help you watch the little one while you house hunt.
But that's just how it worked for me. Things probably are totally different for you, so all I can offer really is good lucky wishes.

Hi Deb,
I have a 7 and 10 year old. My husband and I are open to having more children. I haven't been using anything for over a year now and we're still not pregnant. Getting pregnant may take a while. Make sure you have insurance during the pregnancy, even if it means not changing jobs and moving as soon as you would like. Those with insurance usually get better care than those without. It may also take a while to sell your house. I wish you both the best.

I agree with Jan in VA I'm sure she has seen her share of both sides. Take the less stress road. Even if you think your not having stress if your preg. every little thing that was never stressed on before will be a big stress hormones just go crazy. So traveling with a baby will not be to hard if baby is healthy and you just take your time to get out and stretch and be able to move the baby out of car seat for a bit. There is nothing more blessed than a new baby and loving parents.
