Who is considering TTC in 2011??

Just curious who else is considering TTC in 2011? We are on the fence, but its definitely an option.  Who else????

We are on the fence too. If we don't do it in 2011, we probably won't do it at all.

That is exactly the same as us.  My DS was born the same month as your oldest, but he's our only right now.  Part of us really wants him to have a sibling, but part of us wonders if we've waited to long at this point.  We always wanted more than one, but now that DS is already 4, wondering if it makes sense to "start over".  Such a tough decision.

We are!!!  I'm soooo ready!  We would have tried this year, but I'm going on a "girls trip" in Feb and I don't want to be preg. for that!  It's my first trip with friends since college!  I'm nervous....we put our house on the market in June and just took it off b/c it wasn't selling.  we live in a small townhouse now, so I'm worried about being overwhelmed with all of the STUFF of another being.....but we have decided it's baby time and new house time will have to wait awhile!  Good luck everyone!

We might be towards the end of 2011, depends on a few things.  If not we will in 2012.

Nope...but we may start adoption process which will probably take years since we'll probably do foreign.  We will have another kid eventually either bio or adopted...but I need a longer break between this time (I have 3 all 2.5yrs apart or less).

I understand. We had ours 22 months apart and sometimes I think of all the positives we missed out on if we had them further apart. I feel like DS1 had to grow up so fast when DS2 came along and looking back at pics of that time, I can see he was just a baby! I feel like I missed out on so much because I was adjusting to a newborn and having two to take care of. I guess my point is there are benefits to doing it either way and no right or wrong time to have them. It IS a tough decision. Good luck with yours!

We are! This was actually our first month trying - no luck. There will be at least 4 years between kids, and it certainly will be like starting all over again, but I think we're ready for it.

We will be after some testing from the OB.  I had 2 miscarriages last year and would like to try to see if their is an explanation for it before trying again.  Hoping this year brings us luck.  If we don't have a successful pg this year then we are probably done because my oldest is 6.  Going to need lots of thoughts and prayers for this!

Maybe, maybe not.  We're not actively TTC now, nor are we TTA.

Thanks!  You are so right about pros and cons to each age gap.  We'll see what happens.  There are some days that I am decided yes, then other days that I think we shouldn't.  Although its highly unlikely that we'd have a suprise pregnancy, sometimes I think that would be fantastic, because I know we would not be disappointed and it would relieve us of having to make the decision!  LOL!  Good luck to you too!  Your boys are such cuties!  They look like great buddies in your pics.

I hear you on the surprise part. It's not likely to happen, but it sure would relieve me of some obsessing! And thanks, although partners in crime is more like it!

We are going back and forth too, and can't seem to make up our mind. I really wish for a suprise IUD pregnancy just so the decision is taken out of our hands:) Since that is not going to happen it is up to use. We are going on a trip for just DH and I to Jamaica in the end of April so we won't TTC until May. This is fine with me as I want to loose 10 pounds to get back down to my pre-jack weight. Good luck to everyone in your decision.

I want to, but I'm not so sure if DH wants another one.  Well have to wait and see, I'm not going to bring it up until after the New Year ( I know right around the corner) probably around February/March I'll bring it up to DH and see what happens.  As of right now he doesn't really want to even talk about it, he's worried about $$ and being able to afford another one.  Which I know we can, but he's worried about college and being out numbered by our kids, right now DH can take one and I take one, we have a third, someone will have to take two.

DH and I go through similar feelings and never at the same time. We have 1 boy and 1 girl, so it's very balanced. Plus, I have always been very mobile with the kids and I fear that with 3, it just won't work quite as well. I too wish a surprise would happen sometimes just so we don't have to think about it either way.
