Right now, we are thinking June to start- that would out them at least 2 years apart. DH is so excited about it and i'm thinking EEEK i feel like I am finally getting a handle on things. But in the long run, i do like the 2-2.5 age difference
My only hesitation is financial. We just bought a house, and want to get a handle on our new expenses before throwing another daycare bill in there. But I was ready like, yesterday.
DS is almost 22 months. Unfortunately DS will be having at least one major surgery this year (possibly 2, but that will depend on the timing of me being pregnant because we're able to hold out another year or two on that one)... its been very hard to focus on TTC #2 when we have 9 million appointments with DS.
But I'm old and always wanted 2 kids, so its now or never.
Maaaaaaaybe late this year, more likely early next year and most likely middle to late 2015.
I'm starting to think about it, but we're not ready on a lot of different fronts. 2014 could have a lot of big changes on the job/ moving/ house selling and buying front. We'll get through those first.
And I want to be able to drink at my sister's wedding in June.
I said later this year and then promptly crossed my legs without thinking about it. DD is 7 months. We will probably TTC soon after her 1st birthday.
This is us exactly. DS will be 7 months next week and we plan to pull the goalie (aka mirena) around his first birthday. We ended up getting fertility help and conceiving DS via IUI so we figure we will try on our own for 6 months before seeking help again, if needed.
I have a few friends who had babies the same time as me and they've either already had #2, are pregnant or are ttc.
The thought of it scares the living shit out of me. Im no where near ready to consider it, although the debate of whether or not to have a second, how we'll pay for another in daycare while still maintaining our lifestyle, and basic logostics of another kid, etc is something I think about every day.
We had a smidgeon of a scare about a month ago, (I had some odd spotting even though my period hasn't returned,and a nurse suggested I POAS to be safe) and DH was waaay too excited. I was like, um, no, I want to enjoy my current baby before I have another thanks.
I'd rather wait until DD is 1.5 to even go off birth control. That way the kiddos are at least 2 years and some change apart. I'd rather a 3 year gap in a perfect world. DH wants them back to back. Too bad DH.
