Another friend is pregnant ladies.. She is pregnant, and i will be making her carrier and diaper stash for her. So much squish overload..I know i CAN'T be pregnant right now, but can someone please remind me why that's a good thing? Lol. o_O

I'm joining. I really want one more squish but I really want to wait until next summer to try and my DH is on the fence so I want to wait until he us sure also. I want more fun time with DD, I want her potty trained and in her own bed before we pop out another. I want to enjoy my body and what's left of my boobs before wrecking them again. Every time DD and I cuddle after bathtime when she us all snugly and warm I want to cry about dividing her time but then when we go to the park and see the kids there playing with siblings I want to cry the other way. I want to mentally prepare for the c section recovery and sleep deprivation. I want a real vacation with hubby to solidify why we are making babies in the first place. I want to save up my vacation time at work so I have plenty of time home. Etc etc etc... :-)

Last night DH didn't get home till late.  I was trying to put DS down, it was going great until DD came in because her dolly's tights wouldn't go on right, then she had a total meltdown when I told her it'd be a minute.  The screaming and crying jolted DS out of his sleepy state.  He then refused to go back down. I ended up having to throw both in the stroller and go for a little 3 mile walk at 8pm just to get them to settle.  2 can be fun, but also really trying. And expensive.  Like we're going to have to buy new cooler weather clothes soon - for 2. It adds up.

So yes we are TTA.  DH is actually getting sniped because I can't do hormones, and I'm allergic to copper so it limits our BC options.

Oh honey.. On the one hand i wish i could buy you a drink or a pedi right now.. On the other hand you just won the "Why i don't want another right now" awards. So.. Yay? Either way, you are amazing, and a great mom, super woman. ((Hugs))

This is me exactly.

I'm in, we are still undecided if we are one and done or if we'll try and give DS a sister or brother. The end of this year is our deadline to decide. Until then, I'm not going to be pressured. I'm just going to enjoy my family of three!!

This is what I posted on OAD the other day. The thought of going through the terrible newborn sleep again makes me want to run screaming to the OB to get my tubes tied.

ETA: Stupid bump won't let me cut and paste my comment from OAD. Grrr.

I'm not sure we're going to have another, we're OND fence sitters.

I know people say you love both kids equally and it's just you learn to love more instead of loving each less but... I don't want to have to love anyone else. 

I think maybe when DD is 4 or 5 we'll reconsider because she'll be in school and it would be easier to divide my time. But then again, DD will be a lot easier and restarting with a newborn sounds overwhelming.

We also love traveling and it's pretty easy with just one.
