Well, we're still uncertain, but now that DD is almost 11 months old, she's a little more independent and doesn't demand every single minute of our time anymore and now I can actually see us doing it. We said that IF we try we'll wait until she's closer to 2. But since it took us so long the first time, we might try earlier? No real plans yet though. loveisstrange on "How old was your LO when you started TTC #2 (or more)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-your-lo-when-you-started-ttc-2-or-more#post-796931 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:27:32 +0000 loveisstrange 796931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Pen: It would be freakin sweet if we were pregnant together again. lol.

We're pulling out right now so it *could* happen earlier than that. I hope it doesn't.

That can all change, though. I'm more than happy to hold off for professional reasons, but I also fully anticipate another "oops". That's just how the cookie crumbles in this house, hah.
