Sometimes the desire for another child is very strong. However, my kid will act clinically insane and I second guess my desire.
Does this mean I probably don't want another kid? It seems so silly but I think about it.

over half of it to me before the marriage and guarantee he’d be dead in a
year.” - Bette Davis
We're one and done. We originally both wanted a couple kids, but between my pregnancy issues, my c-section recovery issues, and just general exhaustion bordering on insanity, we're good with just having DS.
I feel similarly. When my kid acts insane, I move from the "yes" camp to the "no" camp, but fairly quickly return to the "yes" camp. Unfortunately I think DH is done with having any more kids.
I am having bouts of serious baby fever lately, but then again there are some days that I am like...no effing way.
In all seriousness, DH and I have decided that we are going to start having a serious conversation about TTC #2 in May, when he finishes school. I have decided I DO want DD to have a sib and I am getting old as h3ll.

I'm terrified (points to ticker). Just like everyone else on good days I can see it being wonderful. On cranky days I'm already going insane just thinking about lugging around another kid. I keep thinking when they're 10 and 12 it's NBD, but the next few years will be challenging for sure. I"m going to keep a bottle of wine ready at all times....lol
I don't think anyone who has had more than one child was 100% sure 100% of the time they could handle it. If they say otherwise I call them a big fat (emphasis on fat ) liar.
No, that's completely normal! Everytime I see a cute little baby, I want one! But then my DD starts acting like a crazy person, and I'm one and done haha! Deep down I know that I DO want another, and I want DD to have a sibling!

No, I think it just means you're normal!

I don't know. I think it's pretty normal to go back and forth between wanting another and pulling your "Team Snip Snip" shirt.
