do you worry that you wont be able to handle adding another LO to the mix?? I have two boys and my house is CRAZY at times! i worry that i will be overwhelmed...but at the same time i want them all to be close enough in age.

Of course worry!! :-) I have a one year old, I would have tried a lot sooner but I ended up with a c section (thanks to his giant head that was the size of a 3 months old). So I waited to TTC for a year. I'm excited!! Me and my siblings are all close I'm age and we love it!!! I feel I'll get the baby stages out of the way lol I like toddlers better. I'm crazy I know. It might have to do with me healing as well. :-) but I do get nervous!!!

My biggest fear of adding a 2nd is paying for daycare. Ahhhhh!

My boys are old enough now that I'm pretty sure that the craziness should be at a minimum. They're 9 and 6. The oldest is constantly telling anyone that will listen that he wants a baby sister. I think my biggest problem with him will be that he'll be too helpful.

I definitely worry about what it will be like with 2 kids. DD is nearly 2.5 and it's still tough and overwhelming sometimes. DH is a cop and works odd hours, which is hard on me too. But, in the end, the excitement of another baby wins over being scared. I try to be realistic about it--it's going to be hard, but also wonderful. And, I also think the 2nd time around will be so so different, which is exciting. Easier in some ways bc we kinda know what we;re doing, but also tougher bc we have another little one to deal with. Lastly, I'm so excited to see what we'll have the 2nd time around. I will truly truly be happy either way. I'd love for DD to have a sister (and we have tons of girl stuff) but I'd love to experience having a son. So it's win-win.

Yes! the excitement def wins over being scared!! Boys are great!! I would love a little girl but a healthy baby is all I need ; my hisbands family is all boys so a girl seems impossible haha! the second baby is so exciting because you get to watch them both interact together. It's amazing to see!!

This is me too. I stay at home right now but I would like to go back to work eventually. Daycare is expensive especially for two.

I have moments where I get scared and wonder if I'm crazy, but the excitement definitely out-weighs it. I know I'll love having 3u3.

I think my recent miscarriage makes us more certain that we want to add more children to our family. As painful as it was, and as difficult as the newborn stage can be, the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Wenbsp;will have 2u2 if we are blessed with another one. So,nbsp;yesnbsp;I'dnbsp;have to say the ideanbsp;ofnbsp;adding anothernbsp;LO to the mixnbsp;so soon does evoke some anxiety! How has it been for those of younbsp;that have more than one LO?

I have two boys and they are about 23 months apart. It was def hard but I have to say it wasn't as hard as i anticipated! I feel like it was its hardest as the youngest started to becomes mobile! So worth it though...watching them interact with each other and seeing how much they really love one another is amazing!! Worth all the chaos ;

Yes!! I think about it often, and we only have DD. My job is demanding and I work long hours. DH works part time and is home more, and while he is good with DD he is not good with house stuff. We do have a cleaning service which is wonderful. Ultimately when I picture our family in the future I see two children, so while I think the first year with a new baby will be challenging, I cannot imagine not having another.

This.

However, I have a lot of concerns related to how it will affect DS because we are a blended family (this will be MH's first bio child). I know that I will be able to manage the chaos, but I worry that DS will feel left out on the weekends that he goes to his dad's.
