How did you know you were ready for baby #2?

I would love to start trying for baby #2, and my husband would too, the only set back is our 7 month old is still extremely clingy to me. Like I can barely get anything done as a SAHM, because he screams all day long unless I am holding him. Literally screams bloody murder. But we were discussing that maybe he would get better about it by the time I gave birth if we were to get pregnant at any point past now because he would be about a year and some months. Suggestions please??

P.s. Sorry if I post this in the wrong group.. not really sure which one it fits into.
