I think I want another baby....somebody talk me down.

And please tell me there is no way in heck that I can handle another! lol

I guess I just never I thought I would get to this point again. This was about the point that DH and I decided to start trying for #2...when DD was about 13 months. Now, DS is almost 13 months and I have the itch again. NO WAY can I do it though. If we have another we won't even try for another 2 yrs probably.

Someone tell me I am crazy...please.

lol that damn baby fever itch huh!   You might be slightly crazy but talk to dh about it and see what he says.  Me personally cant handle kids close together in age.

You're crazy.

You're just being sentimental -- you said it yourself, 13 months is when you started trying for DS and he's almost that age now.  You want to try again because the timing is proof he's no longer a baby. (not really, but in your mind).

All that said, I feel exactly the same way.  We actually found out we were pregnant around this time and then miscarried.  This month is a bit tough for me in that regard.

We're planning on waiting a little longer between DS2 and the next one, though.  More like 2.5 years, maybe closer to a 3 year gap.

Just think if you wait a bit longer how much easier it will be.  And your DD will be close to going to Kindergarten and your DS could go to preschool and it would just be you and the baby at home for several hours each day.

Stretch marks, feeding every two hours around the clock, possible colic and endless hours of crying, 9 months of second guessing everything you eat or drink, changing a gazillion poopy diapers a day, sleep deprivation, sleep deprivation sleep deprivation ....

Yep, this is the month that I got pg also....and them miscarried mid-February. You are right....I think we need AT LEAST a 3 yr age gap between #2 and #3. This 2 yr age difference is for the birds.

Uh, yeah.  WTF were we thinking?!  It was just started to get fun and DS1 hit the godawful threes.  I'm ripping my hair out daily.

Yep. Me too. The CONSTANT whining and fighting with her brother is wearing on me.  I am on the verge of losing my sh!t daily. lol Thank GOD my parents live next door....I just send her over there for a little bit to cool myself down.
