Anyone planning to TTC in May?

I fell pregnant in September last year and started shopping for more baby clothes and other items (a whole medium suitcase full). Sad...

How to know when ready for baby #2?

I always thought I'd want a second baby, but now that my LG is here I'm just not sure. She's a happy baby who sleeps well, but I'm still permanently exhausted and overwhelmed because we have very little support.
