I am one of two moms at B's daycare...

without a #2! Can you believe this? She has like 20 kids in her class and only B and one other girl don't have a sibling. I found this out on Friday when I picked her up and the woman in the infant room iontroduced me to all the siblings of the kids in B's class.

Sucks. Also, she went to buy chemicals with DH for the pool and they gave her a toy and asked if she had a brother or sister at hime so they can give her another toy, she said YES, I have a Boo.

It's all DH's fault.

Do you want to have another?

Why doesn't he want to do it yet?

She is a happy and loved little girl, sibling or not.  That's all that matters!

I know.  People keep asking me when we are going to give L a little brother or sister.  It's frustrating, but 2 more weeks and we will officially be TTC!  I hope you guys can start soon too!

xbrooklyngrl

YES, I've wanted one since she was two days old. FIrst DH just didn't want one. Now he's ok with the idea but there's no way in hell I can afford it. And trust me, I'm one of those "money will come" people, and even I know better.

Boo on your DH!! You make such cute babies..we need another one from you!

At Nat's school is seems like there are  TON with 3 kids and a lot with only 1 kid too. There are some with 2 kids too but 3 kids is pretty popular around these parts.

thank you for saying that!

BUT, I'd love for her to be a big sister

She will, she will!  Just be glad that you're still on the young side -- well, at least until November....

Aww, that is great that your DH is on board now. Hopefully, things will change financially for you very soon so you can start TTC! I know how stressful it can be- when I got pg with my second, my husband lost his job right after we told everyone(2 weeks before Christmas), it was a very nerve wracking time, now my dh just lost his job again and I feel like I am losing my mind again-money problems suck......I hope things turn around for you soon!

xbrooklyngrl

lol T, F U!

nettie, I'm sorry for you guys too! I really hope your DH finds something right away.

nettie

Thanks! I hate feeling so nervous and like I can't spend a dime!

She's still a baby, there's TIME!  And, the bigger she gets, the better the mommy's helper she'll be when the time comes.  Life changes FAST, in a few months, things may be dramatically different and you'll all be ready to expand!  And, I know you're a smart girl, you know that "What everyone else" is doing is totally irrelevant to YOUR life!!  Hugs and patience!

All of my friends that were pregnant when I was pregnant with DD have already had #2.  I'm the last one to move onto #2 and that won't even be for another 2 years, I'm sure.

We would figure it out if I got PG right now, but financially, it's better for us to wait until DD is in kindergarten and we get away from the preschool expense.

DD has never asked for a baby in the house and I'm just enjoying my time with her right now!

I know how you feel. A is about the same age, and I don't know how many times I've been asked if/when we'll have #2. We were TTC a couple years ago with no luck, and then the whole new job/lay off/new job $$ thing got in the way. We're just starting to TTC again. It makes me sad that DD won't have a sibling closer in age, but it is what it is. I'm sure there will be tons of great things about having a larger age gap. Brooke will be a great big sister whenever the time is right for you.

This totally ~ you are a smart girl & you don't want your family to have to struggle more by bringing another baby into it right now.  I know your time will come hopfully sooner than later but it will come.
