Knowing When You're Ready to Have Kids

On when I was "ready" and how I knew it was time for a second baby.

Because of my age, I decided it was time in spite of the fact that I had just gotten married and would have loved a year to travel and enjoy being married before facing the realization that we were going to become parents.
