Its been years since I have had baby fever. Before my son I had it but after his birth I was traumatized and wasnt sure I ever wanted to do it again 
Then my daughter was born and she made me fall in love with babies again. She is just so sweet and snugly and a much easier baby then my son ever was in every way. I really dont want another one yet as she is still so little (almost a year!) but part of me wants to be pregnant again and to know a new little person will be joining our family. DH is kind of like if we get pregnant we get pregnant whereas I practically feel we should wait till our DD is close to 2 to savor and enjoy her a little before shoving her into the middle child position. Its hard for me to imagine her not being my baby as well as once I have my next being done with babies for good but I still want to be pregnant some days...trying to hold out til at least next year to try. Anyone else trying for a 3rd?
You might also enjoy...

Yepp!! I'm kind of the opposite though- I'd love another little baby but I really don't want to be pregnant again soon. I also want to savor my little ones more before adding another one to the craziness. Butttt I do want more babies and I have the fever lol.

@Running Elley: you, my friend, are crazy for having the fever!! Good crazy, but crazy
I want three, but I don't blame you for not wanting to be pregnant again so soon. That stuff is hard work!

@LovelyPlum: I know. I'm completely cuckoo. Seriously haha. I want 4 and the plan is to wait to TTC #3 until DD is 2 but I have a feeling I won't be able to hold out that long! And DH can be easily swayed
-
@Running Elley: I wish I could get DH on board for 4 but alas no. I do think if we had 4 that would be my limit as well. If money wasnt an object Id have way more than 4 but Id like to adopt most of them and only have maybe one or two more of my own. I think part of its sad to think I might be done with the reproductive part of my life soon. Like I know Im not that old but it feels like it when you know you are done with kids in some way. Is that weird?

@Running Elley: You are completely nuts.

I am waiting too...there just isn't an ideal time so I think we will lose the BCP in a few months and go with the flow.
-
I would love, love, love another--but it would mean quitting my job, new cars for DH and I, and a bigger house. It would be a huge lifestyle change for us. It would also be risky for me to have another based on my past history of very precipitous births. Scary because we aren't using birth control (I'd rather wait until I'm done breastfeeding), just pull and pray...if we did have another I think I would have a heart attack. We really need to wait until the other 2 are in at least kinder.
-
I'm waiting until after #2 comes in January... But yeah, definitely not done growing our family.

Since @matador84: posted, I will too
Yes, we want a third, but probably not until E is 2 1/2 or 3. I want to enjoy the boys for the next few years, and definitely need them a little more independent before spending my first 20 weeks vomiting again. 18 months between pregnancies was just not long enough for me!
I really, really dislike pregnancy and am not excited to go through that again. Plus if we are going to help with college, we need to time it for C to be out of college before we have another entering.
But E is such an easygoing fella, I'm definitely looking forward to one more baby.

I am!
We probably will wait for another 2-3 years, though. DD2 is only six months old but I ABSOLUTELY go through phases of having the fever.
We need to wAit until we move into a bigge house before we can start even thinking about a third.
I want three, but I don't blame you for not wanting to be pregnant again so soon. That stuff is hard work!
