I know everyone says "if you wait till you can afford kids you'll never have them"  but how did you know when you were ready for #2?  DS is 9 months and i look at him and all his activity and think there's no way i'm ready for #2.  I want to enjoy him for awhile and he is just TOO active.  But then I read posts from 1-3 tri boards about feeling the baby move and I see belly pics and i miss all that.

    I think I like the idea of it, but when I start thinking about how day-to-day life would be with DS AND a newborn, it scares the bejeezuz out of me!  Just little things like going grocery shopping with 2 or getting 2 out of carseats.  But then again, I felt that way when I used to think about 1!

    thats how i am.  and i think about how easy it is to have my parents watch DS if we want to go out.  i know it would be as easy, for us or them, if we had 2

    We're ready now and will be trying this week for #2. I had a fairly easy pregnancy and felt great most of the time, so I don't mind being pregnant at all. We want our kids to be close in age like DH and his brother. I don't think we know how we're ready, but we are.

    When my first DD  Cailyn was about 2 yrs old is when i really started getting that baby itch again, it took us almost 10mths to get pregnat with our second daughter Macie.  I really felt like i was ready at that stage and that i could handle another baby....until i peed on the stick and it was positive!  Then i was nervous,  but you know what you just do it.  You may be exhausted and life at times can be tiring and hard but i would not change a thing.  I'm really happy that we waited to have our second and i think it was a blessing that it took a long time to pregnant.  When Macie was born Cailyn was such a big help, she was 3yrs old, she understood what was going on that it made everything easier.  Anyway, you will know when you are ready so don't stress about it.
