I must be crazy!!
Posted On: 01/21/2011 08:45:27

OK So I may be a little bit nutty. I had my 2nd child 9 months ago and I really want another one. I really never thought I'd say this - especially since pregnancy for me is not easy but I actually miss being preggo! Maybe its because I am getting older but I just cant shake the incredible urge that I really really want to have one more.

I waited 10 yrs in between my children. My son is 10yrs old and my dgtr is now 9 months. The affect she has had on him is unbelievable. He has been doing so much better in school, he has become so much calmer, he absolutely ADORES her. When I asked him what he thought of us having another baby he told me 'no thanks, I don't want to take any love away from Stephanie'. This from the kid who BEGGED me for 10 yrs to give him a sister! LOL

For now the door for another remains open. I would like to begin trying when she turns a yr old. Although having a new born with a toddler is not something that I really want to do - I don't have much choice either. I'm not getting any younger! On the plus side - my son is amazing and helps me so much that I think it would be ok!

Just babbling..... don't mind me!

U're not crazy. Just ur nurturing instincts rearing up. It happens. But, like admin said u're the only one who can determine what u can handle. Good luck.

Hello,


He IS one of the best big brothers I have ever seen and I'm not just saying that because he is my son. He holds her - he plays with her- he truly CARES about her. I check his homework and just about all of his stories that he has written are about her!


My husband is on board with me. We both want one more... but will really discuss it in April when she turns a year. After we had our son, I refused to even entertain the thought of another baby. I did NOT have a good labor, 55 hrs and then ended up with a C-section. Had a panic attack on the operating table .... was just an all around bad experience. Although the pregnancy was rough with my dgtr - the whole delivery process went much smoother. It was a scheduled section, my doctor was amazing and I didn't panic at all. Granted I'm 10 yrs older and knew more about what was going to happen to me but still - it was much easier. I got to see my dgtr minutes after she was born where as with my son I had to be knocked out due to the panic attack I was having so I did not see him till much later in the day! :(


Here I go rambling again! LOL

Hi and welcome to the site!

Your son sounds like a fabulous guy and a wonderful big brother.

You know best what you can handle in your life. Some people would be overwhelmed with just a 9 month old, some people can have 4 under 4 and not have a problem.

What does your partner think of the plan?
