I got pg with dd2 when dd1 was 5, and she was 6 when she was born.   Pros: I really felt like I fully enjoyed both girls' babyhoods, (dd1 was in kindy when I had the new babe at home, and I loved that time) I nursed dd1...

We live with my MIL, and there are a few things that make it work well in our case:   -When we bought this house, we were leaving a rental and MIL, who we were very close with, was diagnosed with cancer and we didn't know her...
