Anyone completely not ready for number 2?

EuroChick · May 2009

Honestly DH and I both want three kids but for the time being I am savoring have one soon to be toddler. ?We have our schedule, she is more independent, and I finally have my body back after the pregnancy and almost eight month of breast feeding. ?We will probably TTC early next year but I am not looking forward to it. ?We went to a friend's how last night and they have two month old, all I could think of was thank g-d DD is past the tiny baby phase. ?Does anyone feel like me or I am completely alone?

Me! My brother and his wife just had their 3rd - I went to visit and my first thought was "glad it's not me with a newborn!"

Not even close to being ready.

I am tooootally in the same boat. We will not TTC until 2010, but it seems like a lot of others are rushing around. I didn't get my body back until just recently and I have no desire to experience sleep deprivation again anytime soon. DS woke up every 2 hours from the time he was born until he was 5 months and we did ferber. That and I am enjoying my wine and caffeine!

totally agree.

I know we are definitely planning on at least two (I want three though), but yeah I'm nowhere near ready! I sometimes miss the little newborn phase, but I'd freak out majorly if I'd gotten knocked up now. We're waiting till Sasha is 3 or 4 to TTC.

Same here. Every single one of my girlfriends IRL is pregnant (all 7 of them) and I'm soooo happy I'm not on the train right now! My baby fever comes and goes but realistically thinking, I know DH and I both want to wait a few more years.

Not even close to being ready! Still breastfeeding, not sleeping thru the night, and very high-maintenance. I wonder if those that are ready have easy babies?!

The older and older that DD gets, the more I'm OK with just having one child for now. I'm really enjoying this phase of her life, I finally have my pre-PG body back, we've established a good routine with her, plus we can really only afford one right now. When she was only a few months old, I had baby fever something fierce, but as time goes on, that fever is getting to be less and less. Maybe in a few years.

This is funny to me, because all of the reasons you ladies have stated for NOT being ready, are why I'm hoping I'm ku right now. I know we're only having two, and I really want to just go for it. DS gets easier and easier all the time, and I know if we go too much longer, there's no way I'll start over again! But that's just me, that's how I am with most things in life.

We didnt want our kids closer together than about 2.5 years. So at 11.5 months, yeah, I was NOT ready to get pregnant again! Obviously, it's all about what works for each family, but I cannot imagine having two under two.

I think I have a pretty easy and mellow baby and we're nowhere near ready yet. A friend who had a baby 2 weeks after us is PG again, due when her first is 13 months. I would be sick if that were us!

Me! Although I do miss the cuddles I also remember how much work it was and with how much work he is now, I can't imagine it. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be ready for #2 but I am sure it will come once DS gets a little more independant.

Kentuckychick_8201 · May 2009

I often miss my newborn, I miss being pg and I do have a case of baby fever but when it really comes down to it I am so NOT ready for #2. We can't afford it, and I don't think I could mentally handle it. I love watching her grow up but the older she gets the easier my life gets and I am so not ready to start over. If we have another one it will be at least 3 years from now (probably more like 4-6)

rach312 · May 2009

We want 3 too but I'm no where near ready to do it again. I'm just starting to like the way I look.

Amy Schramm · May 2009

Me. ?I LOVE having my boy and focusing all my attention on him, getting to know him, taking him everywhere with little hassle. ?I love being back in my pre-pg clothes again and I hated being pregnant.

I'm not entirely sold on even having another one. ?I'm sure I'll come around but I have such an easy, cool kid that I fear I'm due for a tough one next go around.?
