#2 or #7?

I’m having a struggle. Max said we could get another puppy to raise once Carter is 2 years old. The problem with this is that around the time Carter turns 2, I would LOVE to be pregnant again with our second little miracle. So the dilemma I’m facing is, do I raise another puppy pregnant, get another puppy sooner so I’m only pregnant for part of the time, or push off raising puppy #7 until our youngest child is old enough? Hmm… all these things to consider. What say you?
