XP: Mixed emotions

RJHarmon

I have always wanted my first 2 to be close in age. We are going to ttc this summer. I definitely have baby fever! However, I have this awful feeling that I am cheating Delaney out of time with DH and I. Every time I look at her and think about adding another baby into the mix-I feel soooo guilty.

Did any of you feel like this before baby #2?

I feel like a total nut and I don't want to talk to DH or family about this because I feel like their first reaction will be to tell me not to have another one until this goes away.

I think it's normal.  I felt like this too, but I think you'll be giving Delaney a sibling.  Everyone on here says they won't remember a time without a sibling.  And after seeing how close many siblings are on here, I think having them close is a good thing. Although my boys aren't playing together yet, I'm glad they're close in age.
