So as my LO nears 2, we are starting to think about adding a #2. It's been on my mind a lot and I am happy to wait to make sure that it is the right decision for us - but somewhere I think I know that we will try but maybe I don't know why!

Don't get me wrong, I would in so many ways love another LO but I know my life would still be full if we didn't expand our family. I don't have that feeling of a face missing at the table that people talk about- I never did, even before LO #1 - and now I can't imagine life without him of course!

Sometimes I wonder if we are just considering #2 because it's the generally accepted 'next thing to do' - like get engaged, get married, have a baby, have another - almost like just waiting in life for the 'next thing' in this case a baby to happen.

Does anyone ever feel that the thought of having #2 is just another 'next thing' or should it really be a deep longing or am I overthinking it and being a little nutty!
