DH is on board for #2 (something I think he just came around to recently... making comments about saving things for our next one), but I don't think he's in any rush. I'm not in any rush either, but I probably think about it more than him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1236503 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:53:27 +0000 snowjewelz 1236503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think sometimes it's age... DH is mid 30's so he is definitely very ready (he always laments about being too old to run around w/ his kids lol). I am in my last year of 20's and surprisingly I do not have baby fever, but I know we want kids and sooner rather than later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194475 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:53:34 +0000 chibee 1194475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm actually really surprised to see that the poll is split pretty even! I was ready for a baby before we even got married, and if I hadn't pushed the issue I don't think we'd be trying for another 5 years - he is in no hurry! But since we had our loss he has realized that this is definitely something he wants sooner than later, but I still don't think his baby fever can ever match mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194373 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 08:51:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1194373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure. Hands down. He was already having the baby itch before we even got married. Then once we were married, it got kicked up by 10 fold. DS was barely a month old when he started daydreaming about LO #2!!! No sir! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194300 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 07:52:31 +0000 Ra 1194300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine! DH doesn't have a clock :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194268 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 07:27:58 +0000 Mamasig 1194268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely his - we both wanted kids. But he wants more and closer together in age. I'm 4 years older too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194242 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 06:42:29 +0000 Dandelion 1194242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were both ready to try to for S at the same time...after we lost her, it was me who was ticking, but now that I'm pregnant again, we're both on agreement that this is the last pregnancy, and last baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194236 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 06:14:01 +0000 Cherrybee 1194236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess we are pretty equal - we have times where I'm running slightly ahead and times where he is but it all evens out! </p> <p>At the moment, he is further ahead. He is looking forward to TTC #2 and has mentioned that he wants our children to be close together. But for me - ugh - no freaking way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1194198 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 01:49:05 +0000 loveablebee 1194198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure! He talks about it non stop and keeps buying cute things he sees. I am fine waiting another 4-5 years. He gave me a max of one year. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1176370 Sat, 26 Oct 2013 19:30:49 +0000 theonewhere 1176370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it's too close to call. We've been together 10 years and accomplished 95% of our "things to do before having a baby" list, so that "what's next on the to-do list?" part of my personality has been triggered. But he is the one holding up his phone to show me a picture of someone's costumed baby at least once a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1022969 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 01:00:06 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1022969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: i totally identify with that cheating on your baby feeling!!! it's what makes it easier to wait but i definitely one at least one more *hopefully two more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018536 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:55:08 +0000 yellowbird 1018536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>neither </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018516 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:52:24 +0000 Maysprout 1018516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mine was at first but then when it becomes a reality of TTC he's always ready before me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018482 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:48:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 1018482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His clock was running before mine but he was fairly controlled not to vocalize it since he knew it wasn't the right time. Now that we're both on the same page, there's plenty of vocalizing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018470 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:47:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 1018470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were equally the first time, moving up our timeline because we were both ready &amp; the second time he would now I bet if I said I was ready. I'm a bridesmaid in April and I don't want to be pregnant for that wedding, and honestly would be okay with waiting until June/July/August but I think April is when we will start trying for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018448 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:43:42 +0000 Pink Champagne 1018448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH with #1, and with #2 now. He can't wait for us to have another baby. I'm still enjoying the one I have, and I think it's going to take me a little bit to get excited for #2. It makes me feel like I'm cheating on my baby or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018434 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 08:41:45 +0000 MapleMoose 1018434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH definitely. He wanted us to start trying while we were engaged. I wanted to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018040 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 07:22:02 +0000 MrsTiz 1018040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure. He already talks to me at least once a week about LO #2 ....while i'm still growing the first! His timeline before I got pregnant was for them to be three years apart. Now, he's dead set on two years apart. Yesterday he said that we should start trying before LO is even 1. </p> <p>Slow down, buddy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1018021 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 07:15:18 +0000 heffalump 1018021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm younger, so we have time. But DHS clock is done, after this baby comes he wants to be finished. I wouldn't mind more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017886 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 05:42:54 +0000 pui 1017886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was definitely faster. If it were up to me we'd have started trying as soon as we were married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017845 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 04:05:38 +0000 illumina 1017845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ready to get married first, but DH was ready to have babies first. We would have had our first years ago, before marriage, if it were totally up to him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017836 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 03:43:45 +0000 GrapeCrush 1017836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine always was faster than his. After #2 arrived, I think we are equal in that we are done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017818 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:44:51 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1017818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of our clocks are about to blow at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017809 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 02:38:54 +0000 MrsF 1017809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's been ready to TTC #2 for months now and I'm totally not. I think it's easy for him to say though because he knows I'll say no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017795 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:51:21 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1017795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine!!! Hubs would wait s bit if we could before #2 but I'm 36. He is 31 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017787 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:44:06 +0000 autumnlove 1017787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think DH's clock is ticking a little faster than mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017784 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 01:31:14 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1017784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are basically the same age (a year and 2 weeks apart) but I have always wanted things sooner than him. Getting married, getting a puppy, buying a house, starting a family... we always get to those things but not as soon as I am ready. He does want them but he is more level headed than me. It has worked out for the best! He keeps me in check and we are able to get to major life moments at the right time for both of us, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017709 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:59:19 +0000 PurplePeony 1017709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH was ready long before I was, and I now think he's more excited about the pregnancy than I am! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017680 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:37:42 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1017680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was at the beginning of our relationship but his has eclipsed mine at this point. He's also 8 years older than me. His youngest sister is currently pregnant with her 3rd child so I think he's feeling "behind" right now. </p> <p>He's 37 and has a bit of complex about getting older and being an "old" parent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whos-clock-is-ticking-faster-yours-or-sodhs#post-1017653 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 23:16:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 1017653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His was before we started TTC E. Now mine is for a still-hypothetical-not-yet-agreed-upon #2. </p>
