My first 2 were C-sections and I bounced back pretty quick, so I am definalty keeping fingers crossed for the same this time around. My main concern is lifting certain children into highchairs and playpens.

I think that I am leaning towards what you ladies are suggesting and waiting until a little bit to get my new monster settled before I take on a new child. Unless I found a slightly older, self-efficient child, I may consider them as well. On one hand it would be nice to have a calmer day with the newborn, on the other hand, he was 1 of 2 full timers, so it does hit the bank.
