s/o Thoughts of another

in Parenting after 35

I was leaving daycare when I saw another mom I know whose youngest son (they have 2 boys) is a bit older than DD coming in.  She is pregnant now.  I don't know why that flipped my BSC switch but suddenly I wanted a baby.  Badly.  I'd never been less than 65% sure we were done and I spent the day with massive baby fever, hovering around 30-35% sure we were done at 2 and ready to throw out the pills and have baby-making sex.  

Then I was driving the kids home from daycare, still daydreaming about a third.  Passed the mailbox, slammed on brakes and reversed the car to the mail box.  

Why?

I needed to pick up my BCPs that had come in the mail that day to take the first one last night.

    You need to set your alarm for the next few nights for random times several times a night.  Get up, sit up for an hour, and then go back to bed.  Repeat.  If you can still function, get with the baby making sex.

    Seriously, I can visualize you slamming on those brakes & reversing to the mailbox, lol!

    We've always known we've wanted two and we were thinking of starting to try in late spring/early summer. An issue come up (nothing major, but not ready to talk about it here just yet) that I want to talk to my OB about at my annual in April, so we're leaning more towards late summer/early fall.

    The BCP's I'm on have completely thrown my cycle out of whack (aren't they supposed to, um, regulate?). At one point I was 2 weeks late & POAS, and I was so scared when I did it because I really didn't want to see "pregnant" just yet, but I was so disappointed when I saw "not pregnant".

    I really enjoyed being pregnant. I wasn't terribly uncomfortable & GIH issues aside, I enjoyed it. It was a happy time for me. My first night home from the hospital, I cried (literally) to my husband that I missed being pregnant. And then some PPD issues hit later, which led to me nonchalantly telling MH that I wished I had had my tubes tied while I was still under for my c-section. These days I'm glad I didn't :)

    That is awesome advice! Seriously.

    I am so excited about my new baby coming, but every once in a while I think about what a crappy sleeper was and how tired I was his whole first year, and I shudder.

    Borrow one or two of mine for a weekend, and decide if you want to have another. If you survive. And do the alarm thing too.

    I've always hoped you'd have another. :) Your babies are so beautiful! I know your pregnancies are so hard but it's only a short time :::insert big, cheesy, smile:::
