Thoughts on a second little bundle?

Ok ladies feel free to toss in your opinions, own thoughts, and anything else. I am 18 months apart from my older sister and love that we are so close in age. When I think about it I don't want to have kids with huge gaps in between and I am over 30 which means I am close to that mark of high risk pregnancy. So knowing all these things and that it takes 9 months makes me think I am ready to start . But then I look at Isaac and he and I have so much fun together and I love watching him grow. i don't want to cheat him of any of that. And then there are all the fears I never even thought of when I was pregnant with Isaac like...can we afford it...can I split my time enough...should we move first...can I do it again...will my DH not be as helpful after the second...and on and on. Oh and of course the selfish parts like I like being able to fit into my clothes and being able to drink coffee...

So has anyone else gone down this road yet?

Oh Girl!
I think we've had many conversations about this and several ladies are pregnant now or trying to get pregnant!
I know for me personally I'm not ready. I don't know if I'll ever be ready!
For now, I'm just trying to enjoy Owen. If I decide in 3 months, a year or two years it's ok with me. I'm not going to rush it!
What does your hubby think?

hey hun , we originally thought we would start trying in jan 2009, as it took us 15 months to conceive Kyrah, however fate had its way and we fell i nov/dec unexpectadly and i was stressed that Kyrah wouldnt have enough of our time etc i was really scared and then i started to think of the positives, they will be close growing up, baby stil sleeps during the day when your tired in pregnancy, your already in baby mode with nappies etc
however we lost the bub and then we were excited to try again, however this time we are waiting a couple of months purely for my body but i cant ait for Kyrah to have a brother or sister, i KNOW now that i am ready, i wasnt sure before

Maybe just go for it and see what happens lol good luck xoxo and its normal to have hesitations, i wonder how could i love another baby as much as i love Kyrah , its impossible lol but all my friends tell me its possibel hehehe

DH would have a hundred more. He has been ready for months. I do think that I am worrying and thinking to much about it. Other people manage without any problem but after you really know how life changing 1 is I cannot begin to imagine what 2 would do.

I totally understand!

I want to be a teacher and I want to teach for a year before ttc #1.
