I'm Making My Own Thread to say...

I so do not have the baby fever.
Don't get me wrong, I get super nostalgiac for my little guy's younger days, but I can tell that I'm wishing to hold MY squishy baby boy, not a new squishy.
And DH and I are so not ready for it financially or emotionally or parentally yet, so I can proudly say that I will live vicariously through you all and remain firmly on the half of the board that is not pregnant or TTC. (Knock on wood.)
Who is with me?
Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.

Re: I'm Making My Own Thread to say...
Even though I have a NB, can I still remain with you? I am all done having babies.
Pretty please?
ETA: You can always come hold my new squishy.
Edited to make more sense too.
Me, too.
Honestly, the very thought of being pregnant or having a newborn again sends me into a panic attack. It's bad enough that we may be done having children altogether. I love my little guy, but he's a handful. I don't need or want another one in the foreseeable future. Luckily, DH is in exactly the same place.
Do I respond here or make a new thread?
I'm with you. I miss the days when DS was a newborn, but the thought of holding a newborn AND dealing with DS at the same time makes me want to sit in the corner, rocking and crying.
I'm with you. Frankly, I don't even really miss when my girls were little babies. I love the ages they are now so much, and I especially enjoy the sleep.
I know I want a third, but not now or anytime soon.

Bahahahahahah!
I am totally with you! DD just turned one and I have been super nostalgic lately, but like you said it's not for a new baby, it's for the baby turned toddler I already have. I really thought I would be ready by now, but DH and I are just so...not.
We were going to start TTC next summer, but we have been talking about delaying it for another year. I just started WW and have been doing so well, I would like to get to my goal weight before TTC (I have 80+ lbs to lose). We would like to save more money and most of all just enjoy DD.
me too!!

me too!
That was specially for Kit.
But I must say, I know so little about you, franny...what side are you on? One and done, waiting a while, or getting it on like teenagers trying for a second poopy pants? You can answer whichever way you choose (here or in your own special thread)...I'll still read it.
I'm fixed and ecstatic. I'm not a fan of the newborn stage at all.
Ahhh.
I'm in the "I still havent figured it out yet" group. Im just kind of going with the flow of things for now.
I guess this is kind of where most of us are.
Like others, I though I would want to TTC by now, too, to have mine 2-3 years apart. But it's just not happening. Maybe in a year? We'll see.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one...I was starting to be afraid of the water at TB with all the BFP posts lately!
We are SO not ready for this (financially or emotionally)! We were not TTC but this little surprise came before AF even showed up!
There are plus and minuses to having them close together or far apart. I just hope this LO is not like DD in newborn stage! She had horrible reflux, colic and could not be put down. I literally walked and bounced her for 3 months day and night! I will die if I have to do that again with a 16 month old.
SAZZIE!!! Congrats! Woohoo!
Haha - I just saw this thread.
Still TTC over here.
I would love to have 4 or 5 more babies, but with all of the traveling DH and I do, I can't envision it right now. The au pair has her hands full as it is!
This-I could have written this word for word. ::shudder::
The idea of a baby sounds so fun, sweet and exciting but the thought of actually trying to conceive and raise another one scares the crap out of me. So much so that I told Dh not too long ago that instead of TTC this summer maybe we should postpone til next summer.
In all honesty, I do not think I will ever be 100% ready for baby number two although I know I do want more than one child. I am either going to need an oops to happen or go into it not 100% ready and just trust in DH and I that it will be all alright in the end.
DH: 31, no issues
4-6/2012 100mg of Clomid + trigger + IUI/TI = BFN
7/2012 150mg of Gonal-f + trigger + IUI = BFN
8/2012 Surprise unmedicated BFP!! Due May 8, 2013
Yea, me either.
I'm having too much fun on my all wine and hot wings diet.
lmao! This! It's going to be fun dealing with a (barely) 2 year old and a newborn. Way to make a gal depressed ladies...
