We have 3 (7,4 and 8 months). My wife worked from home with our first son, but it starts to get REALLY hard between 9 months and 1 yr when they become mobile...just a heads up. She quit work when we had our second. And hired a fulltime housekeeper / nanny when we had our third to do the cleaning, shopping, laundry etc. She found her whole day was taken up with that stuff and she felt she was missing out on time with the kids.
The first one is overwhelming, but it gets easier
And IMHO....it didnt feel like a family until we had our second. I didnt have brothers and sister growing up when most of my friends did. There is something so cool about the interaction between siblings. So if you want more, but are scared away by the workload, Id say go for it. The second one (while it is more work) is not as overwhelming. Your first is such a fundamental life change it can be hard, but the second was not as tough. You will already be in kid mode so its really about the logistics.
