Hi, welcome to the forums!
Well, if you don't have any negatives, especially ever with Chase (or WaMu or Providian), you might want to app for the Freedom before the Blue reports. Chase will probably pull EQ instead of EX, so they won't see the AmEx inq. (I'm rusty here, so I'm perfectly prepared for a ton of posts telling me that I'm wrong. 
)
Then I would stop. 
Let the two new cards report for at least 6 months before doing anything else. You have a perfectly fine collection of cards now, despite whatever advice you might soon be getting.

If the inqs are on different reports, it doesn't matter.
Inqs only count on the report being pulled.
What does matter is the presence of a new account, and since AmEx is famously slow to report new accounts, it's a good time to jump in and pick up another, before the AmEx shows up, which it will do on all three reports.
But I would definitely stop after the Chase and let the dust settle.
It will be pushing it by waiting that long. My BCP reported in just a couple weeks. I say your fine. Amex is usually E and Chase EQ, I say go for it.
