baby making

colinsfebmommy · September 2014

I had no idea what to call this. With so many BFP and new babies....those who are not prego yet.....just wondering if you have a time frame in mind when you are going to start again...

We are looking at the middle of November

draeray · September 2014

I hope to get it right this month as I would love a late May or early June baby. I don't really want to be pregnant through the hot summer and I wouldn't mind having the entire summer off for maternity leave. If this doesn't work, the next best thing would be to have a November baby so we can have the entire holiday season off. Either way, I'll take the baby when it comes but this is just the project manager in me coming out because I love to plan!

I'm really thinking we might be OAD.

I feel like I need to go to therapy for it, though, because it's a selfish decision that I'm starting to struggle with. I'm healthy, we can afford it, but I just don't WANT another baby. Maybe someday, I guess...

I don't think it's selfish. There's nothing wrong with only wanting one.

That isn't selfish at all. You have to do what is right for you family. I ultimately want 2 but when I start to think about trying sometime I get so worked up to tears because I have SO much fun with my LO now and I already am a working mom so I am on limited time, I have trouble thinking I will have less time with him and it bothers me.

thanks. I struggle because, until I had a baby, I wanted three kids. and then I discovered that it is SOHARD at times, so I want to keep my life as easy as possible. And for now, that's just one kiddo.

I'm right here with you! DS is just so fun right now the thought of the infant stage again...YUCK!

singingsea · September 2014

I said we'd start around Christmas but I'm wanting to be pregnant...like NOW.

I'm thinking the husband and I are going to have a chat tonight

laketide · September 2014

I am right there with you @luxannie‌! I just don't want another right now but I hope one day that I do. I love that right now both DH and I are able to spend all our time with DD. Shes just so fun at this age and pregnancy and newborn stages were not ones that were my favorites to say the least. Right now I just love enjoying the baby I have

We're trying for #2, on cycle 5. I'm hoping this is our month, I really don't want to be hugely pregnant through the summer but if it happens I'll still be happy with it.

you changed your name, you sly one, you! I thought I recognized that avatar...

Yes! I didn't want to have the boys name in it and I don't want everyone IRL to recognize me on here

The picture will stay the same, I just love when he gives the side eye.

Congratulations, @Sterling13!!!

We were thinking about July but then chickened out last minute (thank goodness with everything that went down in August), then we thought about last cycle but the craziness in the rest of life hasn't settled yet, so we decided to hold off for another cycle. Right now the plan is to start TTC next cycle.

This. I'm on the fence about a #3 (leaning toward would like one), but DH is pretty much done with 2. Not sure how this will all play out, but it looks like we'll be waiting for awhile, if ever.

Congrats @Sterling13!

We will probably start NTNP next summer, but are still very much in the air about it. I really struggled with late pregnancy and the newborn phase and I think it will take a bit more time before I am ready to actually try to go back down that 6 month rabbit hole. At the same time, I can feel myself getting baby fever whenever I am around squishes and I know that I would be excited about a pregnancy. DH is ready for another one now, but he also doesn't have to deal with carrying it for 9 months. We'll see

Oh my goodness yes about the rabbit hole. With both girls I had a bit of a breakdown - with DD1 when she was about 5 months old and with DD2 when she was about 4 months. I sort of write off the first 6 months and for the next one will give myself a free pass on... pretty much everything... for that time. Not a fan of the newborn phase over here.

mishka29 · September 2014

Congrats @Sterling13‌ !!! Note to all: no thread jacking allowed to announce a BFP! That requires a brand new post!

SidraJedi · September 2014

Congrats @Sterling13!

We are talking about this time next year. We don't want to have them too close or too far apart. Right now we both think that a three year age gap between children sounds about right for us.

I agree that this age is so fun compared to that first year and that I am scared of juggling my attention on two.

I feel ya, @luxannie. I'm thinking we are along he same lines, here. DH has 2 DDs from his previous marriage, so there are other kiddos, but from me, I've been feeling that OAD is a comfortable route for me. If we were to try again, it would be in May 2015. These past few weeks, I've been thinking about just stopping here. Things are good and I feel that we can provide enough for all of the kiddos. Even though my SDs aren't from my womb, I still treat them as mine and want to provide for them in the same way I will provide for DD.

I dunno, so many thoughts in my head right now. :-O

tamarar5 · September 2014

Congrats @Sterling13‌!

DH and I are pretty certain we would like one more... but we don't want to start trying for like 18 months ( making sure we don't have 2u2 again).
