Re: Can you afford to have another baby?
No and no.
It sucks, I would really love to have another one right now.
No and No, hahahaaa
"Scared" to go on formula b/c of the cost! Babies and dogs are expensive!
Ditto.

Maybe, but we wouldn't be able to save and I'd most likely have to stay home and not be able to finish my grad degree. I'd love to have my kids close in age, but it isn't going to happen (well, hopefully it won't!). I have great insurance so yes, this one is "paid for."

Yes and NO
DH wants to TTC in July...I laughed!
we had over 6,000 in MB this year! DH knee surgery and baby..
we could do it but it would be tight...and I really dont want to be stressed about money...so I told him he needs to make more money if he wants more kids.. then he laughed
I want to wait till DD is 2
yes and yes!
We would have to buy a bigger car first...I think the only other option from here is a van. Going from 3 to 4 people, we fit, but 4 to 5 is a no go.
TTC#2 October 2011. June 2012 diagnosed with mild PCOS and both tubes blocked.
10/1/12 miracle BFP 11/12/12 missed m/c (9w2d), baby stopped growing at 7 weeks
1/16/13 BFP, EDD 9/27/13, m/c 1/19/13
2/12/13 BFP, EDD 10/25/13 Please stick little one
A stowaway on board!
I doubt it, but we don't want another so in that regard we're fine.
We haven't gotten the bill yet. Online it says we'll owe about $800 (plus the $150 for the drugs.) Thank god for insurance, in total it cost about $40K to have this kid.?

Holy smokes! Is that what it normally costs to have a baby in the US?
No med bills ....
I don't think my sanity could take another one ....
maybe when the twins are about 5 or 6 I'll think about it
Yes, we could afford #2, but we'd need to be on a stricter budget since I'd SAH if we had another soon.
We haven't gotten DD "paid off" but that's because the bill hasn't been completely processed yet. I think we'll end up paying our out-of-pocket max ($1,000), which is a bargain since DD's 23-day stay in the NICU will be around $90,000!
I think we'll start thinking about TTC after DD is 1.

Could we? Yes, but it would be hard...especially if it was a girl. I SAH, so we'd have to cut back more than we already have. We'd definitely have to move....we live in a small townhouse and his stuff is already overtaking the living area. I couldn't imagine a swing, bouncer, exersaucer, jumperoo...and other toys floating around here all at once. lol
Have we paid off medical bills? Yes. We paid as we received. DH tries to avoid having bills around...so we paid those off and cut back for a short while.
