Mommas of 2+

If you have 2 or more kids, I am just curious how you decided to have more after the first one. (I totally don't mean that in a negative way like it might read.) I keep tossing the idea around about whether or not we will try for another kiddo, but I am not sure. The NB days were a hundred times harder than I ever expected (and I am no wimp), and DS still demands a lot of time and attention. I don't want to wait a whole lot longer if we do try. Every time I think I'm ready to pull the trigger and ttc, we hit a long rough patch that cures my baby fever. I hate feeling so wishy-washy!

I got a very big surprise BFP #2, so I wasn't quite ready. However, I always knew I didn't want DD to be an only child. I come from a large family and can't imagine not having siblings to share my life with.

I always knew I wanted more than 1.  Both DH and I have 2 siblings.  Given my age (I just turned 39) and our issues with infertility, we started trying again when DS was 8 months old.  Imagine our surprise when I got a BFP a month later
