Childrens age gaps

Ok so please hang with me and give your opinions.

I currently have 2 children one 10mo one 2yo. Their age gap is sweet but no lie it has not been easy.

We know we want a 3rd baby at some point but I'm stuck on when. Toddler years are HARD so part of me wants to go ahead and have the 3rd and just be done with the child bearing years and not have to stress anymore about preventing pregnancy. (Planning a vasectomy after the 3rd baby)

But at the same time these parents are tired and a bigger gap would be ok but like I said I also like the idea of stair steps and them kinda going through everything at once.

Also an add on we plan to move or build a home in a few years so itd be nice to be not concerned with child bearing during that time.

Any opinions ? Feel free to speak your minds lol
