We didn't officially start trying till LO was 18 months old. I feel like that extra time gave me more time to "be ready." </p> <p>We are living in our "forever" home and just had an amazing trip to Germany. So, I definitely feel ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1448104 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:35:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1448104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm taking my time warming up to ttc#2 because of this fear!</p> <p>i'm slowwwwly catching the fever though and i think will be ready once we h it our planned timeline of spring/summer.</p> <p>DS will be 17 months+ and I have my mom nearby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1448096 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:33:16 +0000 Aimed 1448096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Not TTC #2 yet because I have a million things to do first! #1 was conceived a little faster than we expected so I am determined to be more prepared the next time.<br /> My list is that LO #1 needs to be potty trained and fairly independent, we need to be more financially secure and my career needs to be in a good place. So it may be another few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1448095 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:33:06 +0000 sandy 1448095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only reason I'm saying no is bc I waited to start TTC until I felt like I was ready. For me that meant waiting until LO was a bit older (we didn't start trying until she was 20 months). I had all day nausea and exhaustion from week 5 to week 25 so I didn't want to be carrying around a LO and I really wanted to be done with diapers. I figure the rest of the stuff can happen during the pregnancy - getting her moved into her big girl room, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1448051 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:21:12 +0000 yin 1448051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My list consisted more of prepping DS1 -- potty training, sleeping in a big boy bed, and gaining more independence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1448012 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 11:08:24 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1448012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: exactly! It will never feel perfect. I kind of wish we had started sooner because this whole nursing and cycles thing cost us a couple before I realized there was an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447941 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 10:42:18 +0000 immabeetoo 1447941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: I was more relaxed before #1; now I know hat I'm getting myself into :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447745 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 09:42:17 +0000 petunia354 1447745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: You're not alone!! I actually think it's completely normal and am surprised there aren't more of us :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447696 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 09:29:22 +0000 immabeetoo 1447696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: Ok, finally someone said Yes haha!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447672 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 09:21:58 +0000 septca 1447672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I'm ready. Ideally, I'd like to move before #2 arrives, which means fixing a few cosmetic things around our house and actually moving, but we are currently looking for a "forever" house... so if we don't find it before we have #2, that's okay, too. I am trying really hard not to stress about the housing thing - there are pros and cons to both moving and staying, so I am just trying to take things as they come.</p> <p>I feel like if I tried to get everything exactly perfect, we'd never be ready for another baby! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447626 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:55:50 +0000 petunia354 1447626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! We are not TTC until December at the earliest but I need to lose 20 lbs and we definitely would like to move before we have another LO. Luckily we are pretty flexible with our TTC timeline but I'm just overwhelmed with all that needs to get done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447616 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:52:04 +0000 NurseMommy 1447616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're not quite there yet, but for me, the biggest things are getting to a healthier weight - especially knowing that breast feeding doesn't melt the weight off for me - and getting my home cleaned/organized. I just get too overwhelmed with the amount of STUFF we have. I know that being financially prepared should be a big part of it too, but it's not. Perhaps because I feel like my first two goals are insurmountable anyway. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447565 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:30:39 +0000 edelweiss 1447565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we're not TTC for #2 yet, but my first priority would be to move into a bigger place for #2 arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447558 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:26:47 +0000 littlek 1447558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: @Radish: Same! The pregnancy part was not bad for me. Up until 34 weeks I had a super easy pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447539 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:16:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1447539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are definitely things I have on my want to do list but pregnancy wasn't (isn't) terrible on me so I still feel like I am getting to enjoy my toddler even though I'm pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447529 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 08:10:12 +0000 Radish 1447529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But I had a very easy first pregnancy. There is also nothing I want more than to have them close together. I'm really wishing we had started sooner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447444 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 06:01:01 +0000 littlek 1447444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all. My son is almost 2 and is ready to be a big brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447379 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:56:19 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1447379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go from feeling like you mentioned to panicking that it will take me forever to get prgnant or my fertility is suffering. It's a really hard place to be because I really want another baby but I would love to be more laid back about it and I so would be if I could guarantee I would be pregnant by the time my son is around 2 years old. I would love more time with him Just us and to feel less pressure to possibly wean. Unfortunately there is no such guarantee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447377 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:52:11 +0000 googly-eyes 1447377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're almost ttc #2. Not quite. But yes, I feel like everything has to be "set" before we can have the next one. We have a lot of big transitions coming up with moving so hopefully we settle quickly and then we will be ready (to ttc, not exactly for the baby!). Anticipating that in a couple of months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-youre-ttc-2#post-1447371 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 00:36:16 +0000 immabeetoo 1447371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you feel a mad panic to get anything done before you get a BFP/the first tri/having a newborn again? I feel SO MUCH PRESSURE to get a huge list of stuff done while LO is asleep, and soak him in 100% when he is awake just in case this is the month, where I get a BFP, get super duper sick, and then become a zombie, and then have a newborn...</p> <p>AHHH! It took a solid 6 months before I felt like "me" again so the prospect of shaking everything up again has me burning the candle at both ends to get stuff done now! </p>
