We waffle back and forth weekly. I think a #2 is probably in the plans eventually, but we're so overwhelmed with one. Plus I agree that I can't imagine adding another child into the mix since DD #1 is so special and perfect for us. I'm scared of the new dynamic that a second child would add to the mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1462515 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 00:07:26 +0000 keiki_mama 1462515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I was undecided and DH had baby fever. We decided to throw caution to the wind and try. Got pregnant on the second try or so. Now I'm freaking. the. heck. out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1462487 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:39:52 +0000 heffalump 1462487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wanted a #2, but I did worry about that too. It helped to think of the long run. Yes, lo would get jealous and not be my one and only, but shed get a sibling to play with and to love when she got older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1462459 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:14:13 +0000 Ra 1462459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: This is my concern! I don't know if I really want another child or if I just like the idea of another child. My DH is also set on being one and done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1462454 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:10:42 +0000 fancyfunction 1462454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we are totally undecided! M is almost 15 months and I know I wouldn't want to even try until she's at least around 2 or so - so we still have some time to decide, but it's something we both waver on a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1462450 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 23:07:45 +0000 Katrocap 1462450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Completely! I think I want another child, but then again spending time with DS is so perfect. And at 14 months he still doesn't STTN and I am ALWAYS exhausted, so it seems like it would be difficult for everyone if my time were split between two LOs. But like @mrs.chocolate said, I know I'd fall in love with a second LO instantaneously and it would be lovely to watch DS interact with a sibling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461717 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:38:59 +0000 lawbee11 1461717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: LO is only 7 months old, but I feel the exact same way and this is why I'm 90% sure we won't have another one. DH and I both work and I already struggle with only spending a couple of hours a day with LO during the week. I know I would love a second child just as much as I love her, but I enjoy being able to devote all of my attention to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461695 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:22:01 +0000 sandy 1461695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: very much the same. This is why we waited so long to try for #2...I just feel very complete with LO and didn't have any crazy baby fever like I did when we were first trying. Now I kind of regret waiting bc now we're on cycle 8 and I would like to have at least one more child. But part of me is already thinking how far am I willing to go to get pregnant again...bc while I would love to have another child I also feel very content with my LO (she's 2 years 3 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461694 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:21:07 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1461694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I felt the same before I had my 2nd and was so anxious before her arrival and then I fell madly in love with her Its also so sweet to see my DS with her and how much he loves her even if he is mean and doesnt share and shoves her around sometimes lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461692 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:20:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 1461692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going back and forth about it right now. D is pretty set on only wanting one, but I think if I still want another in a few years he'll go for it. I'm not sure if I actually want a second child or if I just want the *idea* of a second child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461689 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:18:05 +0000 hilsy85 1461689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are definitely going to try for LO#2 sometime this year, but I have similar thoughts...I can't imagine loving another baby as much as I love LO, and I hate the thought of him having to share attention or not feeling as loved once a new baby is here. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461687 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:16:11 +0000 MrsScallop 1461687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I definitely do. Not so much because of our LO now, but because of where we are in school and work. It is a hard decision! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461684 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:14:10 +0000 MoonMoon 1461684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, very much undecided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-else-go-back-and-forth-about-2#post-1461681 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 16:13:23 +0000 pinkcupcake 1461681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2 yo now and for the past couple months, we've been trying for #2. My husband is very adamant about wanting at least two kids - he's got crazy baby fever right now. </p> <p>Me... I don't know. I keep going back and forth. I never thought I would be as happy as I am w/my LO. She's really the sweetest, most perfect (well, to me.. haha) kiddo and I don't know... the thought of having to "split" my love and attention breaks my heart. I want to just focus on her and only her, and the thought of having another baby almost feels like... cheating on her? Right now, our lives revolve around her and it makes me so sad to think that she might get pushed to the side if there's another baby. </p> <p>Okay now I just sound crazy :T Anyone else feel like this? </p>
