Same here, and it kinda really breaks my heart. We wanted 2, and I still do. But I've felt like such a failure for my complete inability to fix everything and adapt to the ever changing craziness that is motherhood. Every new phase that pops up just kicks me down that much more. Saying it's been rough is a complete understatement.

We are entertaining one and done. If we were to have another, we won't start trying until DS is 2. That way we'd only have one in daycare at a time. The fact that I'm being so pragmatic about it tells me I'm not really that into the idea of another one yet.

We are going to start trying for #2 around the holidays.

Tubes are tied so we are DONE. lol The age difference between my two are 2 yrs and 9 months and I really think it was a great age to do it. My oldest was old enough to kind of get what was going on and help out and was just way more independent than what she was when I first got pregnant.

Ive been on a Bump hiatus for a long time, but Hi June mamas! And I just posted about our upcoming vasectomy on O&D. It's weighing on me, despite thinking we were SO done.

We plan to try around DD's 2nd birthday or so. Don't want two in diapers.

My DH deploys at the end of the year for 6 months and I would rather not be pregnant alone. We will be trying for number 2 when he returns from deployment.

Plan on trying starting October 2014 -- It all comes down to our insurance. (long story) If we were able to have another right now, I think we would, although I love being able to spend LO's baby years solely with her.

I'm torn. I would like more kids but the reality is that daycare is expensive. We will probably try again but they will probably be around 4 years apart.

DH thinks the sun rises and sets with DD. He doesn't think he could love another child as much as her but he wants a boy. I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

As my mom told me, your heart expands when another child is born. So true! My world revolved around DS, I never thought I could love someone as much as I loved him....until DD was born.

I wish I could have more, but given my age (almost 40) and the fact that my GD was worse with my second pregnancy, we are done.

We are like everyone else. My heart wants another but I don't know if I could handle it. For some, being a mom is so easy.. For me it's been a source of anxiety. I've never loved like this before and suddenly the world is such a scary place. For this reason I might be done..

We can't have another one while we live in this house - it's just too small. So we aren't going to start trying until we're actively looking at houses, and we aren't sure when we'll be able to afford a new house. Hopefully around this time next year, though.

EMOmamma · May 2013

We are 90% sure we're done. 2u2 was very hard and now that it's getting fun I don't think we want to go back to the dark days. I am really glad we had 2 though - I can't imagine my life without both of them. They're so different and I love both of them so much.

I got Mirena after DD and when it's ready to come out we will reevaluate - another kid or the big snip.

We are definitely waiting for our second. Besides that fact that medically speaking it will be twice as much since my insurance no longer offers a PPO plan, we will need to be financially prepared. Also, our house is kind of small and it would be great to be in a position to buy a larger house before having another LO. And we have a really great situation with daycare, but I don't want to pay double for it right now either--not to mention I hated being pregnant (totally did not agree with me)!

I also have Mirena in and don't want to have to get it removed yet. We will probably start talking about number 2 in a year to 18 months--hopefully we will know what's what by then.

DH keeps telling me "if you got pregnant now we could have a jan baby ... feb baby...etc"... I however am not ready yet. I think we will be trying about Nov/Dec ish. 26 months seems to be a decent age gap and that is what I am aiming for.
