Jumping from Toddler board

I figured this would be the place to ask since either you already have two or are on your way to two. Did you feel 100% that you were ready for number 2? I am planning on having two, I want two, I know that with all of my heart, and I even feel ready, but then I always have these what if hestiations. With my first I knew for sure no hesitation. I think the biggest issue now is knowing it will also effect my son where as before we were just thinking for two. So basically, I want to know, was anyone 100% or did you always have that oh *** feeling...

My 2nd was a complete surprise. We had to go to a fertility specialist to have our first, and my OB told me I would not need birth control. I got pregnant when my DD was 6 months old. We always knew we wanted a second, we just looked at as ok, our plans just happened a little earlier! I always knew 100% that I wanted 2, and I knew I wanted them to be within 2 years apart so they'd be close in age at school and could have many of the same friends so I was 100% ready when it happened, although it was sooner than we'd planned to try.

We were excited, ready, and trying, but the first couple of months with BFN's I got a mingled sense of 'damm' and 'whew.'  When I finally got the BFP, I was hopping up and down going 'YAY!' while thinking, 'OMG what did I just do??'  I still go back and forth even now, but as it's getting more real, it's just starting to feel like how life is supposed to go. 

I am dreading the newborn stage with a toddler though.

We weren't trying for #2.  When I got the positive test I was pretty scared/nervous and a touch disappointed.  As time went on I became more and more excited and confident.  I can't imagine things any other way.  I think that's always what happens - life throws things at you and before you know it, you can hardly imagine anything different!
