Ladies who already have babies. . .
Just wondering since I saw Aria's post about saving up for a "boy".
When do you plan on trying for #2? Or are you not even sure if (or when) you will add baby #2 to the fam?
Just being nosy. In a perfect world I would love to have 4 years between my two kids.
Re: Ladies who already have babies. . .
We decided that we'd start trying again after Scarlett's first birthday (my 33rd) at the end of July. We will probably have a better handle on our financial picture by then.
There may be some postponing, because we will have to consider I won't have nearly as much paid leave time saved up. I want to have him (or her) before 35.
And then I AM DONE. No matter what J says. I miss my sleep!
We thought we would start trying before Evan turns 1, but now we have no idea. With the move (and the sleep deprivation, and the "oh, god, can't imagine having 2 kids right now" conversations) we'll wait until we see how our finances look before trying.
But the idea is to have 2 under 2 (yup, we're crazy like that... but mostly we want to them to be close together so play together, and we want to be done with it sooner rather than later)
I don't totally qualify yet, but...
our plan at the moment is to TTC for #2 around Christmas 2010 - so ours would be as close as 14 months apart - but if it takes us a year of TTC again, they will be closer to 2 years apart.
Right now, we've decided that we won't try for #2 much past DH's 40th Birthday in January 2013.
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
I don't have any babies yet so have nothing to add to this but just wanted to say that I love the St. Patty's Day pictures of your little one! She is so adorable.
I want to enjoy Bebe for a while without adding to my responsibilities . . so if we decide to have another baby we won't be trying until she is at least 3. I'm 32 now, so I hope mother nature will be kind to me and go with my plans.
Theres almost 10 years between my brother and I . . . I love our age gap . . . and want something similar for our family. We never competed with each other and are really close, so I'm hoping the same will happen for my own children.
FWIW, I think you are all CRAZY for thinking of a #2 so darned soon! I can't even imagine!!!!!
We are on the younger side of things (I'm 24, DH is 25) and I can't handle 2 under 3. So probably around fall of 2012.
But I have the fever and have to remind myself to sloooow down.
It's an age thing for us. DH is already diabetic, his family has a history of heart attacks, and I didn't exactly hit the genetic jackpot either!
Also - If I am going to take a career break to raise the babies, I'd prefer if they were closer together, so I can get back to my career sooner when they are past the infant stage.

I can understand that. I love the idea of doing 2 really fast and being done, or spacing 3 babies out 5 years at a time. But I also have baby fever like I mentioned. At this point, I wouldn't be devastated to have an accidental BFP.
Thank You!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaah Freaken Lillian!! She is to adorable for her own good!!! lol
Thanks, Agent!
