While I think I'm crazy, DH and I have been on the baby 3 train the last few weeks. (We're not actively trying), but I think we're not done with our two. 
Which is COMPLETELY weird to me, because I never really had the fever with DS1, DS2. More like "sibling fever" or "ready to have a baby"
Do you currently have baby fever?

Yes! We were supposed to start TTC this month but DH said he wasn't ready and needed a couple more months. So I wait......

OMG no.
I have a 2.5 year old and a 5 week old. No.
98% sure we are done, but if we ever did become open to a third it wouldn't be until the toddler was in kindergarten. I cannot do this with two toddlers and a baby.

I'm currently pregnant with #2, who's due in March, but DH and I have totally played with the idea of #3! I feel like we're becoming more and more receptive to the idea of 3 kiddos. However, we're going to wait and see how things go with 2 first. Ha!

No. Taking care of DS all day and WFH during all of his asleep time is all I can handle right now!

I do, but it's completely not realistic right NOW so it's just all in my head!

Yes, very much so! Probably won't try for #2 for another year, so I'll be battling the fever for awhile.

I don't really have the fever, or at least I don't in the same way I did for lo, but I am very excited that we just decided last week to start ttc 
It's more like I feel like we're at a place where we're ready, the timing would work with grad shcool, and I don't want too much of an age gap, haha

Nope! We're in a really nice groove and I'm getting lots of sleep...no desire to throw a wrench in that.
ETA: I do have pregnancy fever on occasion, though!

No, not even a little bit! My friend has a 7 week old and when we're together I think "oh she's cute but thank goodness I don't have one of those."

Not at the moment, but it comes and goes. My 9 month old is going through a rough patch with teething/sleep and so it's hard to think about a third, though I do want another eventually.

I'm so ready to be pregnant with #2 again. T is at such a fun age and I feel like now is a good time more than ever to add to our family. I can't wait!! Every time I see little newborns I get the fever so bad.

Nope, nope, nope. We just put our old queen bed in our guest room (4th or 5th bedroom how you look at our house). For some crazy reason, it felt like our family is complete. We have our awesome master bedroom, rooms for the kids, a guest bedroom, and an office for my DH. We're all good here.

I have a 5 week old haven't slept in months. We're 100% done!

@lovehoneybee: You're in the fun time!! The lack of sleep isn't fun, but the snuggles are awesome. I dream feed LO #2. I love the snuggling, snoring, and burps when do this late night feeding.

Yes! DS is 14 months and I want to TTC sooo bad but not financially smart right now. Stupid money. Stupid daycare bill.
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
I kind of do. But I know DH is 110% done, so I just shut it down 
pomegranate / 3863 posts
I waver back and forth! I don't have baby fever, I have more of sibling fever for DS. I don't really have a desire to juggle a newborn and a toddler but when I think of our family down the road, I really feel like I want more than one child! But then we have weeks like last week where I am done done done due to nasty preschool illnesses. We TTC this month so we'll see what happens. I'm open to the possibility of being done, but my mind and heart are definitely always flip flopping back and forth about the subject!

Yes and no Yes in the sense that I want one more and love having a little baby in the house. No in that memories of morning sickness are still very fresh and I want T to be a bit older when/if all that starts up again. I would not be able to enjoy his babyhood if I am like I was with my other pregnancies, so I would like him to be one before that.

I totally do! I've had it for a couple of months, and LO is not quite 10 months old! I must be crazy, especially since I am solo-parenting for 1 1/2 weeks, and am absolutely exhausted!

Comes and goes but 3 is plenty and DH says he is done!

Just like Sorry Charlie. I am ambivalent but unless my husband has some kind of huge 180 degree epiphany it's not going to happen. some days I'm relieved but some days I am sad

@petunia354: Same here! I go back and forth, back and forth. We always said we were one and done and I think 90% we are but .... I am so sad thinking all the phases that are passing now with DS are over forever

@nana87: yay!!!
@Smurfette: we just had to push back, too. I'm super sad.
ETA: yes, I have it so badly, but now we have to wait until October. I found out today that I have to have back surgery, and we can't try for 3-6 months after that. I'm having a hard time with it (all of it, really) right now.

@LovelyPlum: oooh I'm so sorry to hear about your back! I know October must feel like forever away but it'll come 
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@LovelyPlum: I'm so sorry!! I know it seems so far but I bet it comes quicker then you think. All that matters now is you recovery and heal first!
