Any moms have a big age gap in their children???

Meagan • Pregnant with my second baby. I have an 8 year old son. We are so excited for this new addition coming August 2016 😍
My son is almost 8 and I am due with my second son in August. 
Some people say omg that's such a huge gap, some say it's a good age because my older son can help and it won't be so stressful. 
Any moms in the same boat?? Let me know your thoughts 😊 thanks
