It took us 13 months to conceive S, so we are prepared and comfortable with it taking a while again this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-decide-when-to-start-for-another-baby#post-667245 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:00:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 667245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that I want a second (and a third! but I only have DH on board for 2, right now) but I can't decide when!</p> <p>I would love to have a house before #2, but I also want them closer in age (2-3 years) as opposed to 4-5 years. So here's hoping.</p> <p>I'm also terrified of splitting my attention...and how could I ever love another baby as much as I love my daughter? It's scary! </p>
