Hi ladies! I've been MIA for a while. My September B/G twins are now 10 months old and keeping Mommy and Daddy on their toes with crawling, trying to walk, talking and something new everyday!
As busy and exhausted as I am I LOVE being a mom and have the baby itch!!! We conceived our twins via IVF with nothing frozen, only 2 embryos to transfer and they are both here!
IVF is not and option financially and medically for me so it's all natural or medicated IUI's for us! I want to start TTC again in December.
I have a huge pageant in October and I want to enjoy the holidays with our amazing babies before possibly adding a new addition!
Are any of you TTC again yet?

BFP 1.5.13 - EDD 9.5.13 - Ysabella Sofia born 9.12.13
Right now, at almost 3.5 I feel like he is 100 times more able to understand and explain things than last year. He's finally excited to help with his sister and likes to say he's a big boy. It also helps that he can now feed himself a lot better and play more independently than one year ago. He really needed me a lot at that age and because I EBF the baby there were huge periods of time each day I just couldn't help him. I'm sure in the long run it was good for him but there were lots of tantrums and we both cried many tears those first few months. He just happened to be in a very tough toddler stage when the baby came along and I couldn't give him my full focus to help him work through things. I'm actually a little traumatized and have tons of mommy guilt over it so I'm determined to do something different with the third.

We are two and done, for sure, I love the 21 month age gap between my kids, we are of the mindset of two parents/two kids, don't want to get tag teamed . Also, I have been pregnant or BFing since 2011, I want my body back, I am counting down the days until DS2 is 1 year and I can phase out BFing.
Having two under two means there is much less jealousy as the 2 yr old doesn't really remember a time before the baby, it's a lot of hard work, and they are really too young to help themselves, or understand that the baby can't do or cope with certain things. Right now for example,DS2 has started playing with DS1, and DS1 wants to play roughly with DS2 and ends up pushing him over, ending in tears and time out.
I wouldn't change it though, they are already such good friends
