Dilemma

yale

So DH and I are talking about trying for baby #2 in March/April. We want our kids close in age. However, we agreed to a family trip over a year ago (before we even knew about DS) to celebrate my parents 40th wedding anniversary. If we get pregnant right away (like last time) the timing will work out where I won't be able to fly. I feel terrible about this. I know my parents would be thrilled with the news of another grandchild, but they never travel. And I mean NEVER. They are so good to us and I wanted to go on this trip with them and help them celebrate. My brother is starting to look at rentals and my mom is working on getting in shape, etc, etc. A part of me is really torn... should we put off TTC for a few months so we can for sure go or stick to the plan? I have a feeling we're going to have to commit to a condo rental soon and I'm starting to think I need to have a talk with my mom.

I would put off TTC, but thats just me.

I never really got the whole planning when the child will be born. Probably because it took us a year and a half and tons of tests to get pregnant. If you are concerned it wouldn't hurt to wait a month or two before trying, you might get pregnant right away you might not.

The time you would get with your family is priceless and would mean so much to your parents. Putting off TTC really won't put your kids that much further apart in age.

i would just put off TTC for a couple months. What difference would it really make in your lives if your children are a few extra months apart?
