You know your pregnancy, labor, and delivery were too easy when...

You want to be pregnant again and your DC is only not even four months old.  Part of it is that I sort of miss being pregnant and part of it is that I feel ready for another baby (not immediately, but nine months from now).  I must be nuts!  I'm finally getting reasonably good sleep again.  Good thing DH has enough sense to want to wait until Caleb is at least a year before we start trying again.  Otherwise, I'd probably be ready to start now.  Man, I never thought I'd say that and have baby fever this bad this soon.  I must keep reminding myself of how I felt a month and a half ago.

    Aww, that's funny -  lucky you though! Is it weird after you give birth? I mean, now, my hands are constantly resting on my baby shelf and I'm always feeling movement. I can't imagine not feeling anything anymore.

    Maybe your DH can meet you halfway - start trying in two months!

    I've got it bad, too, and Madeleine isn't even sleeping through the night yet.  I'm sort of grieving over the fact that I might not have another newborn again.   I agree though, if I can pop out another one as easy as the last delivery, I'd do it in a heartbeat.  I swear I felt like I was at the spa during Madeleine's birth!

    Lol...I should have said good thing DH is the sane one.  I know it is best to wait until DS is a year, but that doesn't help me shake the baby fever. 

    I don't think that not being pregnant anymore was as weird as I though it would be.  I had an anterior placenta and never felt tons of movement.  I don't even know what I miss exactly.  I can't even begin to explain how I'm bursting with love for DS and I want to give that to another baby too.

    ha!  I've got twins and I'm ready for another!  Yep just call me crazy and admit me to the psych ward now.  But we will be waiting a while or we may be done.

    You are insane!  J/K!!!!

    I get a touch of baby fever every so often.  IF we do have another one, we won't even start TTC until Sophia is about 18 months.  I do not want two children in diapers and we would want Sophia to be a little more "self-sufficient) if you know what I mean.  I go back and forth almost every day about wanting another child.  If we have any more, it would just be one more.  I think DH is leaning towards Sophia being an only child.   We said we won't discuss it anymore until she's at least a year old.  We'll see then what happens!

    Also, I'm one of those mother's that remembers what the sleepless nights and frequent feedings were like.  So I want to enjoy a good chunk of time with her STTN and all.  I'm also weird in the fact that I feel it's "taking something" of her babyhood if we jump into having another one too soon.  I want to focus on her and enjoy her completely.  When I was pg, I had morning sickness the first trimester and it was horrible.  Everything else about my pregnancy, labor and delivery were great though!

     I could have written this exactly! I'm really looking forward to being pregnant again, but not the first six months of life with a newborn. Mine STTN from 6-12 weeks, but then teething started and she did not STTN again till she was 9 months! She's 18 months now and I still feel exhausted from both of us working so much. I'm looking forward to enjoying being three a little longer, but I'm also really looking forward to when our jobs, health insurance, and other security stuff is in place that we can get ready to have another. For a while I felt like I didn't want to divide my attention, but I'm really starting to feel that Susanna is ready for a sibling and I could handle it. Well everything aside from the lost sleep :)
