Question of the Day:

What are your concerns when thinking about having another LO?

I just worry about affording 2 in daycare full time.  I work full time and Dh works a ton of hours.  I also worry about spending enough quality time with DD if a LO were to come along.

 

KYRN

QOTD: DH and I work opposite shifts, he had been laid off for 18months and just went back 1/2 time.  He currently works 40 hours every other weekend Fri-Mon from 8:30-6:30, so every other weekend I've got DS basically by myself for 4 days and nights after working a full week.  He'll probably be back full-time by this summer, and the nights/times could be variable .  I worry about the amount of time spent as a "single parent" with an infant and toddler  I think back to when DS was a baby I was working full-time days and DH was working M-F nights so I had every night with a newborn/infant that didn't STTN and had to do it all alone and then work all day.

Update: got a BFP on an hpt, but beta is low at 28. Going wednesday for beta #2!

ela81

QOTD: What are your concerns when thinking about having another LO?  Well right now one of our big concerns is, will the next baby have any of the problems Isabel has. We are waiting to see what we are going to do until after her appointment with the developmental pedi next month. We will go back to the RE this year but, plans may change if she is on the spectrum (autism). We will have another but we will want to make sure we have our ducks in a row with her first. I also worry about child care b/c my mom said she will not be able to watch 2 kids full time (she gets really tired keeping dd), she keeps Isabel right now so we would have to work out some other child care which will cost a lot more and we work weird hours so that limits us as well (I'm sure my mom will still help out). Sorry, that got long.

CONGRATS on your BFP Barefootshannie!!!

QOTD:  I worry if I can handle another baby. My DH travels A LOT for work, so most of the childcare duty is mine, plus I work a fairly demanding full time job. It is all very managable most of the time now, but when Henry was younger, it was super hard. I don't know if I can handle a toddler and a newborn by myself. I'm also afraid that I'll start resenting my DH if he doesn't buck up and help more.

My concern is 2u2...and DD still being in stages of development when she really needs me and my attention when I have to tend to a newborn. And that I won't be able to pour myself in LO#2 the way I have done with DD. I worry about my mental and emotional ability to deal with what will inevitably be a LONG couple of years. But yet we plow forward, because we want our kids to be close in age when they are older and because we know time and insurance are not on our side. I know we will be able to do it, but I know it will be tough.

QOTD: mainly that we won't be able to have another And a bit of fear that if we do, DS will have to share attention and he's used to being #1.

Can you add me to the list?  We are currently trying on our own.  I just made RE consult appt for April and we'll be doing IVF this summer if unsuccessful by then.
