Already mommies (and others who want to freak them out a bit)
So with all these babies turning 1....are you thinking of number 2 yet?! I know most people want them around 2-3 years apart of each other and when you think of a 9 month gestational period that means you have to start trying again in 3 months to make it 2 years!! HOLY CRAP!! By the time some of us starting having our first round, you'll all be on baby 2!!!

Re: Already mommies (and others who want to freak them out a bit)
funny you mention this and even though i'm not quite a mommy yeeettt i had to share.. Serg told me he wants to get right on #2 as soon as possible and that he was thinking about having 3-4 kids. I told him when he can carry them for 9 months i'll glady jump on that boat
bahahahhaa.I've always wanted 2-3 kids but the way i feel this pregnancy, i'm not sure how i'll be able to go through it again especially while having to be on my toes with #1
Also, it just makes me laugh because he had so many concerns about having #1 and now he's already thinking about #2!? Hes out of his mind
We were going to possibly try for our first in the fall. But i think its pushed back till late spring 2011 due to lots of weddings this year... the last one is in st thomas and i want to take full advantage of the all inclusive. ;-)
does the lack of nothing mean something
LOL, we'll first try in spring 2011 too! this is my first month off BC and my hormones are all messed up, I'm crying at everything!!
I can't believe I'm even typing this.
We were considering trying in January 2011 (if I have a baby, I want it to be born in the fall). However, the thought of possibly being PG a year from now makes me want to throw up. So, pretty sure that will be pushed back to at least 2012 (and then next year I'll push it back to 2013...) I'm not sure the H is totally on the same page, but he's not the one that has to be PG, so he can deal

HAHA, well I have a very limited amount of time that I can try and want to have the baby...so I have to aim for a December-Feb baby which means I can only try for 3 months each year...and unfortunately we're getting more towards the age when we wanted to start having kids....where is the time going!?
If cancer hadn't ruined my life he'd have a sibling in the oven by now.
Oh honey! Cancer did NOT ruin your life at all! ::big hugs:: Dex will get a sibling!!
Our plan right now is to start trying in summer-fall 2012. But that might be pushed back a year or so. That just seems so early to me, haha.
We are going to start trying again for #1 in February. Dr wants to run lots of tests in the next couple weeks. Try to avoid a future m/c. One baby is scary enough...how are we going to afford everything and have enough time with the baby.
Then there is the thought we can't wait forever to have #2 because my husband isn't a spring chicken anymore. Need to also be done having kids before step daughter get married or has a baby.
OH MY LORD!!! What did I get myself into!!!! (said with a dramatic voice while laughing!)
In the end it will all work out. I know this is one thing I can't plan out every tiny little thing.
I agree with Zilla. Life isn't ruin. Plans for being knocked up were ruined! This will give you a year to spend spoiling Dex!
OMG I can't wait for you to have a baby. You are going to have BEAUTIFUL children who have the best sense of humor!
WOW...my eyes are totally bugging reading this Andrea!!!!
Actually, this past weekend Eric told me that he feels that I'm ready to be a mother. I looked at him and smiled, but I was like but you're not right? Then he laughed and agreed...and then I was happy again. I feel ready and I'm so not ready at times....give me till Sept 2011, or after my Italy trip...then we'll talk some deadlines. I just know...that I dont want to be pg during the summer!
Hahahah. Believe me - I am not the initiator of these deadlines!
The H wants children 100 times more than I do. Though that's not saying a whole lot considering my desire for kids is next to nothing right now.

Awww thanks! In time. If we have any accidents before then, though, you may have to take up custody with Elisa and Gerry

Kevin is already for baby number two now LOL since Collin so cute But I told him my body needs to heal and I'm not sure what my dr is going to say about how long we should wait.
Kara got to witness Kevin saiyng he wants another one now LOL
But I'm thinking we're going to start trying for number 2 this time next year since we had some troubles with this one I just want to give us enough time to heal and make sure we're good to go for the second!
WAIT WAIT WAIT!!!! What happened to you dont want more than one? Oh so excited Mia will have a sibling!!!!
haha. i still haven't made a rock solid decision on this yet, though. it's still highly possible that i don't have another. i go back and forth every day.
Gerrie! CANCER DID NOT ruin your life...it just made you appreciate it more! Plus, we have Gelisa.
Tiff!! AHHH!! I am so glad you are considering #2!
Andrea, you are going to make the cutuest pregnant lady!!
We plan on starting for #2 this coming April or May. But I have swore to myself that I wil have lost all the rest of B's baby weight before I get pregnant again. This time, I will do things differently re: gaining weight/exercising.
woohoo! so looks like I'll have some prego girls along with me possibly. You're already off the pill then? I waaas thinking of getting off this spring for a possible fall start date... So now I was thinking getting off in late fall for late next spring. Is 6ish months not really enough time then?
Yep, mainly because we have such a SHORT window with my job so we have to plan ahead. I'm thinking it will take a few months for my body to get back to normal and then when the time is right I won't have any worries LOL. But if we don't get PG in 2011 then we have to wait until 2012, we're pretty ok with either. If we don't get pg in 2011, we'll try aggressively in 2012 since that'll make us more towards our original target ages.
This is more involved than parts of my biz plan!
That's exciting, to see everyone's plans. It's interesting to see who is going for #2 soon. DH doesn't seem to want a #2 within a couple years of #1 (whenever that happens). We'll see. We're tentatively looking at starting in March right now. DH admitted in November he has baby fever now.
Call me weird, but I wouldn't mind a bit if I had twins
Not sure why, my brothers are twins. Maybe it's from constantly watching and taking out my brother's 4 kids (that are almost 5, almost 7, 8 and 9 yrs old), that twins don't seem that terrible, lol.
Even though I wouldn't mind them, I'm not going to pay a doctor to ensure I conceive twins. Whatever happens, happens.
Oh yah, you guys def have to plan plan plan! I couldn't even imagine being 8-9 months pregnant, trying to stand all day taking pics at a wedding.
We were actually going to do some smart planning also. We were thinking of attempting to get pg during dec/jan/feb of some year so that I'd have the baby in sept/oct/nov. So that when I go back to work, its tj's slow time at work and theres a better chance he'll be home for the baby instead of a babysitter/daycare. And we were hoping his boss would finally let them claim unemployement during the winter months already so he'd be there all the time!
so much planning goes into all this! But I guess we really don't have the final say lol.
