s/o Baby Fever...

in February 2012 Moms

Jen made me think of this.  So many of my friends (and even myslef) have said they wish they could have twins and be done being pregnant.  Isn't it strange, more than I want another baby, I want to be pregnant again!

I think it takes a very special person to raise twins, and I know I am not that person (you twin mommas are rock stars!).  I'm also so excited that I do get to go through pregnancy one more time, God willing.

Funny how until you do it, you really have no idea what you are talking about!

    This is totally me!  I loved being pregnant, and felt more comfortable in my own skin than I have ever felt in my life.  I would love to be pregnant again, but I dont think I could handle another baby right now.

    I was the healthiest when I was pregnant and I can't wait for the next baby! We can't afford it yet, either.

    It's funny because a good portion of my reason for wanting another is because I would love to see how "easy" it would be to be pregnant with one baby and only have one newborn to spoil and dote on.  Of course, that's no reason to have another and we won't.  I also didn't like being pregnant and very often said to H "thank god we're having twins so I don't have to do this again!" but now I don't remember the crappy parts and think about feeling a baby kick inside of me and I miss it.  I feel like since I have a clue now pregnancy and those first few months would be SO much easier the second time around.

    And while you give twin moms credit, I give moms who will have 2 under 2 but of different ages credit.  I can't even imagine how tough it will be to balance the needs of a toddler with the needs of an infant.  But those moms will make it work for the same reason we did - you don't have a choice! Stick out tongue

    I was the healthiest when I was pregnant and I can't wait for the next baby! We can't afford it yet, either.

    This was my biggest concern, but honestly the expense isn't that bad.  If it wasn't for daycare I would say the cost difference is fairly negligible.  But at our in-home daycare the cost is the same for infants and older so having two now versus one now and one later wouldn't be that much different (except she gives us 20% off for having twins).

    I would love to be pregnant right now...but I'm not ready for the baby part! I miss feeling the kicks and hiccups. However, with Jackson not STTN and the financial aspect of it, I'm so not ready for another LO. 3 of my friends are pregnant right now and I so wish I could be pregnant with them...but then when I wake up in the middle of the night, multiple times, I'm so glad I'm not!

    I have no experience having twins, but I am a twin and I LOVE it. It's having a built in best friend. My twin sister and I are still totally obsessed with each other. We bought houses on the same street. We're 8 houses down from each other...until one of our next door neighbors moves!

    Our expenses look a little different. With a second child we will eventually need more space so we will have to start looking for a house and we can't afford that yet. Our health insurance has scaled back and we will have a bill with the next one so we need to have that beforehand. We also pay into a college fund for Nat so we will do that for the next one. Then there are just the monthly expenses of diapers, etc. We just don't have the funds to set up yet. We will eventually!

    That's so awesome to hear. They play so well together already and I'm hoping that bond continues.

    Same thing here.  We would want a bigger house, insurance changed, college savings...literally you wrote what I was thinking!
