Lookback: 1 year after first kid born

“Enjoy first kid before second”

Everyone asks about second kid immediately after first is born

What I wish I knew
"Wait for first kid to grow before considering second"
If I could tell you one thing
"Let new parents enjoy first kid before deciding on second"
