and its not an april fool's joke.
My baby fever is raging bad. I really want to give Michelle a sibling closer to her age. I have this crazy thought of Michelle being all alone when she's much older since her siblings are at least 14 yrs older than she is.
He's gonna call the insurance co. to find out how much benefits we have left for IVF. Its a start he says...its not a definite. We are just gonna talk about it and also get some info about my chances of getting complete placenta previa.
Ok now go ahead and say I'm crazy and all that crap because I'm wearing my flame proof suit

Re: Ummm DH is open for discussing TTC
A few things...
#1- why would you be crazy? If you are in a healthy, comfortable place, then what is wrong with wanting more children?
#2- what's the issue with complete placenta previa? I know if you happen to have it, you have to have a c/s.....can you not have a c/s or something?
I don't know, my mom was a little younger than you but thats what she did too. My brother and I are 30 and 29 and my little sis and bro are 13 and 10. She wanted my little brother to have a sibling closer to his age.
She was 36/38 when she had them
So I say, go crazy! Your DD's will probably think you are nuts though...I did when my mom told me!
I often feel bad that Madelyn has no siblings close to her age (ss is 13). Maybe guilty is a better word. But she is happy and content, and i am to darn old to be getting up every 2 hours at night and still working!
Good luck with your decision!
Not crazy at all! If my kids were that far apart, I'd want another one, too! Good luck! (And by the way, whenever my DD sees your siggy pic, she demands that we just sit and admire your dog.)
Hey we are rednecks and thats what rednecks do lol
There are 13 years between me and my youngest sister, and I grew up with my nephews and nieces. It was like being an only child at times, but as I grew older, I got closer to them.
My parents were 45 and 46 when I was born, and it isn't ideal honestly. (I don't know how old you are.) But you cherish the time you have.
I'm close to you in age and no way would I have another child. The one we just had was nerve wracking enough! Parenting at this age is GREAT, but all the worry about the chances of having a baby with a genetic mutation is just not worth it. DH and I would love a third child but we both agree we feel like we got very lucky having two healthy children at our ages and no way do we want to push our luck.
BTW--Michelle won't be alone--she'll have a niece whop is so close in age, they'll practically be like sisters. Not quite the same, but they could be really close!
I want to ask a question, but I'm not sure how to phrase it without it being offensive
(because I really don't mean it to be!)
But, if you don't mind sharing (and I will totally understand if you don't want to).. how old are you? I don't follow the board very well, but I believe you said you're a grandmom?
(apologizing if this sounds terrible)
My grandma was 45 when my dad was born, so I don't think you're crazy at all. He is younger than some of his nephews and nieces, too, and it wasn't ever a problem (other than he'd get called "Uncle" if he was being a pain). Also, my grandmother passed away when I was 19, and she was around for all the important stuff. It has been tough on my father that some of his (much) older sisters are gone, though.
