Babies on the Brain

Introduction

Hi all :)  My name is Alicia and I have a 2 and a half year old son.  I had my IUD taken out last week, and we would like to start trying to have another child in the next month or two. 

When my husband and I had our first, we sincerely believed that our son would be an only child, and we were both completely content with that.  After the loss of both of my in-laws, after sudden and quick illnesses, we reevaluated our lives and realized that we would like to have a second child and give our son a sibling. 

Being completely honest, I am very nervous to have two children in the home.  I grew up as an only child, I was very content to play by myself, read, I was very quiet.  My son is very active and I love it, but having two is going to be a very different experience.  Perhaps any words of advice or encouragement to a mom who is a little nervous to embark on this new "mommy of two" adventure?
