I've heard that it's harder to go from none to 1 than it is from 1 to 2. Moms of more than 1 can prove or debunk the theory (I cannot, I am OAD).
i mean, it's not hardER, but it's still hard in it's own way.
the sheer logistics of having two has been a pain for us. G is a pretty good, easy baby, but carting them around, working around different schedules, etc. has been more than we thought it would be. but, keep in mind, that's just not a thing i'm breezy about.
i keep telling myself that the baby stage makes all this harder, and that i won't even remember this in a couple years.

We're one and done for medical issues, but I have to admit, it's pretty nice only having one. What's the saying? One kid is an accessory, two are a lifestyle? Since you like to travel a lot, one makes that easier. He has plenty of friends, cousins, and neighborhood kids to play with, too.

Ok, ok. I will change my answer. I'm the oldest of 5 and DH is an only. He says he didnt mind growing up as an only and it was fine, but now that he's an adult, he wishes he had siblings.
So yeah, have one more! It's not like you hate kids and can't stomach the idea.
On the other hand, I'm about to rush home to see her little face for just a half hour with her before I go to dinner with friends.
It is a toss-up indeed.
Everyday. Everyday, I can't wait to see them, only to find myself counting the minutes until bedtime. lol.
It's a wild ride.
Tritto! My favorite moments of the day are seeing my little girl's smile when I get her first thing in the morning (bc my toddler often welcomes me into his room with "No!") and right after they're both down for the night.
Yes! because you are smart (gotta fight the good fight against idiocracy) and because you are rich and can afford it (keep in mind my H is a grad student and I am teacher, so all y'all bitches are rich as far as I'm concerned). eta: No skittles babies for poor people(?)
A friend told me when I was trying to decide-you may regret not having a second one and wonder what if, but if you do have a second one you will never regret it once you meet the little one. Hope that made sense.
I vote no due to feeling like dying several times a day. I have closed up shop via iud (and abstinence) until I am less overwhelmed. There is a terrible thread on MMM about toddlers if you want birth control.
I need the link for this!
I voted yes. I've only known life with 2, but I love that they always have a playmate. It's so much fun seeing how much they love each other.
