I want another baby.

Which is an insane statement as this one isn't here yet, this pregnancy has been high risk and stressful (and these last few weeks will  continue to be.)

But as of this moment - I know I want another one.  We'll see how I feel a month after this little guy is born though!  Stick out tongue
 

Wheee!

    I know how you feel!  I had dreams in the weeks leading up to having our son about being pregnant and doing IVF at the same time.  It was crazy but I guess that is how worried I am that we will have to do IVF again!
    It took over four years to be diagnosed with PCOS. We TTC #1 for 18 months, did 5 rounds of Clomid and finally moved onto IVF...which worked! Throughout our IF journey, we suffered 3 miscarriages. We conceived both DD and DS without treatment.

    I want one very badly.  We aren't doing IF tx again, so the chances are beyond small it will happen.  DH isn't really wanting another one, but I think he could come around on that.

    I wanted another one the day after I gave birth!  I was supposed to go back on the pill for my PCOS but I haven't yet...Part of me thinks hey it took meds to get Reed....a surprise baby might be nice!

    LOL don't make any decisions after one month.

    I was pretty sure I wanted one more until this week, which has been a teething, cold/cough, lack of sleep extravaganza! I keep reminding myself that weeks from hell aren't when one should make life-altering decisions :)

    The newborn weeks (months) cured me of that feeling really quick and in a hurry but THANKFULLY, not every baby is high maintenance.

    Nothing is impossible Lucy! :)

    Oh me too!  I know that I'm going to want another soon after we have this one.  Unfortunatly for us there will never be an "oops...surprise" since my tubes are tied.  Luckily though we have 8 snow babies waitng for us!

    Even with my high risk pg and kinda difficult delivery, I was ready the next day.  I still feel that way almost 3 months pp.  I got my first pp period today and I was sad, it feels like its really over now.

    lol I feel the same way as you!! But I just need to slow down a bit!!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    I was just like that right after I had Lilly. And it took me WAYYYYYY too long! I hope your second one is conceived much faster than your first. As this is my last pregnancy, I am relishing in all the kicks and punches I am feeling right now. I will TRULY miss being pregnant!

    Beleive me, I know how you feel. The day our son was born I couldn't help but feel sad, like this might be my only chance at this.

    Fast foward two years, we've now done three more IVFs which have all failed, and I'm starting to wrap my head around the fact that this really really might be *it* for us.

    That said, it doesn't stop me from wanting another child with all of my heart.

    Not crazy at all!

    One of the down sides to IF is that a lot of us are already mapping out a game plan for TTC #2 before #1 is even born.

    We kinda have to, ya know?

    And don't worry - any normal person would be saying "no way!" while in the thick of sleep deprivation.  I'm sure the drive for #2 will still be there when the sleepy fog lifts in a couple of months.....

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
