Who's ready for another?

atack · August 2011

I feel like I am most likely in the minority right now, but I just can't believe how great our baby girl has been and how easy everything was minus a small hiccup during my labor. I already can't stop myself from thinking about another. Not that I want Irish Twins or anything, but I could see us thinking about trying for another sometime in the spring. I just want my body to be completely back to normal before we go through the pregnancy process again. Anyone else ready to go through it all over again?

My little guy can be challenging at times but I love every minute of it! I can't believe he will be three weeks old tomorrow! I want another!!!

Aww! Thank you!!! I took it when he was 5 days old.

I always thought I'd feel that way. Then I had my son and I loved every minute of being a mom and I couldn't imagine having another so soon and not having all that time with just him. It was the exact opposite of how I thought I'd feel! I am glad we waited longer than we had originally planned. This will likely be our last, and I am already thinking about a few years from now when she's starting preschool how I know I'll want another!

I want another soo bad! We were going to start trying again in 5 months, but my Dr. advised waiting a year because of my cesarean :-(....I might meet him halfway and wait 8 months! :-p

WashingtonQueen · August 2011

O yes we want another! We are already planning it out. Unfortunately it will not be right away. We are going to be waiting to try to conceive for about 3 years. That will give us time to get married, get both of the older kids in school (one starts tomorrow and the other in 2 years), and give me some at home alone time with this little one. We now have 3 boys so we are crossing our fingers for a girl next time

We definitely want more. The taking care of a newborn part is much easier this time....it's the managing a toddler while taking care of a newborn thing that is such hard work. I'm sure we'll get used to it soon, though, an the newborn stage just flies by. Hopefully by the time we have a 3rd, DD1 will be a little older and able to help more.

Stellasmom · August 2011

You guys are nuts. Lol. I'm cherishing the newborn phase, but I'm finished with trying for babies. If God wants another one out of me, it'll be through a happy accident. Oh, an it takes two years for your body to replenish all of the nutrients it lost during pregnancy. Take your time to recover!

lovelymissautumn · August 2011

We definitely want more babies, but I can't imagine another one very soon! This is hard work! I'm thinking we might start trying in a year and a half or so.

JaysonandKristin · August 2011

I'd have a Duggar family, I swear. But, reality bites, and we can't afford to house, feed, clothe and educate that many kids.

We were finished after DS2, but DH told me the other day that when we buy a 2nd car (for me), we should get a Pilot rather than an Element because we might have an accident. And, he wasn't talking about a car accident, he was talking about a conception accident. I wanted to slap him upside the head and schedule his vasectomy right then and there.

As easy as my pregnancy was, and as much as I absolutely love my LO - having another is not on my mind right now. I want to cherish this time with Thomas and get my body back in shape.

measrn · August 2011

I keep telling DH I want to try for another girl. Luckily for him, I had my tubes tied during my c-section Stick out tongue I already miss being pregnant! 4 kids is definitely enough for us, though. Any more and I'd have to give up staying home with them

I'm trying to enjoy every second of Connor being a baby, but I swear every time
I wake up he's another week older!

+diana82+ · August 2011

We're definitely done after this one.

This. Although I am fairly certain that I don't want another, I definitely wouldn't want one anytime soon. I miss my body being my own. However I will say that the newborn stage isn't nearly as terrifying as I thought it would be.

Jelliebean1982 · August 2011

We are still trying to decide if we even want another! Even if we do decide to go for three we won't start trying for another three years.

randa0880 · August 2011

I love my 2u1 with all my heart, but IF we have another, it will be many, many years!

Leah678 · August 2011

I want another, but not for a couple of years. I want to enjoy this baby before adding another one to the mix.

daylight11 · August 2011

I love my son to pieces but I can't imagine wanting another for quite some time!

I have no desire to have 2u2 and definitely not 2u1! I'm sure those who do this are happy and love it, but it's just not for us.
Our current plan is to start trying again shortly before his third birthday. This will give us time to enjoy him on his own, time for me to save days for maternity leave, hopefully only have one in diapers at a time etc., etc.

This is exactly what we did. DH wants another, but I'm not on board yet. I'm getting the Mirena in a few weeks, so I told him we'd revisit the issue in a few years. I definitely want to be done before I'm 29 though.

davonnagreen · August 2011

We want another one in about 3-5 years Smile

catahoulatte · August 2011

HA! Ask me again in a year. I keep (half joking) toDH that DS is doing everything in his power to stay an only child :-)

sunandsurfmama · August 2011

I swore I was one and done but I was JUST talking to DH that I am now not okay with not having another one. He agreed.

He wants to wait until this one is two. Guess we will see.

Monsieur_et_Madame_Ha · September 2011

We always said we wanted two, but we're now considering having another. Not a definite "yes" yet, but we're certainly keeping the door open

Ryan&Kristin062009 · September 2011

We definitely want another (we have an easy baby too) but I want to enjoy the holidays, New Years and just my special time with our little guy before getting pregnant again. I am thinking next summer after he turns 1.. we don't want them to be too far apart.
