Hellobee Boards

Oh yes, big time baby rabies! I see a newborn at the store and I have to know all about it! I loved the baby stages, but Cam is such a blast now at a year. I feel like we are finally communicating, but I want another too!

I've always wanted two kids but since having LO, I had been contemplating being one and done since pregnancy had been so hard on me and LO is not the best sleeper. But for some strange reason, since LO hit 9 months, I've been feeling like I really want another! I find it so weird because nothing has changed but I suddenly really really want another baby.

Here I am!!! (was I the instigator... oops!!!) Even having phantom pregnancy cravings... hahahaha!!!

This weeks cravings:
- watermelon
- chocolate pudding
- buffalo wings
- Chinese

LO is 10.5 months - his first birthday is in 6 weeks!!!!!! I am soooo ready for another one... I just wish $$ would allow it we're in a 2-bedroom apartment and to rent anything three bedroom is SUCH a huge price difference. Of course if it WERE to happen by accident, we'd make it work by the baby being with us for awhile and having LO and #2 share a room but that's definitely not ideal for us.

What is holding everyone else back from TTC #2 (or 3... 4... 5?)?

Wait, why exactly is cowbell again?

@mrbee:

@HLK208: haha I meant, metaphorically.

@mrbee: haha I was going to say, I don't know anyone who hasn't seen that!? It's baby fever and the only prescription is more babies!

But really...I'm not sure how possible that is for us because with 2 kids already, we've set up college funds but I don't think we can contribute to 3 college funds, our personal savings, retirement and pay for the kids sports, clothes, cars, bedroom sets...the list goes on. Babies are expensive!

@HLK208: haha I can't believe you linked me to the more cowbell video. Have a little faith sister!

@HLK208: well be grateful sister because we have NONE of that... no college funds, minimum retirement contributions, we barely make our bills each month so nothing left for extra toys/clothes/savings etc... everything is a stretch and it's stressful but we deal and just hope that one day DH will start making more and hopefully I can finish school and get a job. I think that sometimes people think they need to make SO MUCH MORE for extra children, but really there is so much you don't need, you know? Like personally we don't plan to pay for our kids college education unless sometime in the next 15 years DH starts making A LOT more...it's just not feasible for us! But I do know that if we had another baby we'd just make it work!

@lemondrop: I'm there with you! Wouldn't it be cool to be preggo buddies again?

@regberadaisy: Baby fever is dangerous, huh?

@Mrs. Pen: oh for sure. Haha we haven't contributed much to their college funds, mainly just opened accounts for them at this point but on the other hand, I want to give them basics to start them out. Nothing extravagant but enough so that I can relax at the end of the day knowing that we've done our best. It's so hard having B and E share a room right now...he wakes her up 3 times a night! We don't need a 4 bedroom house but it would make us feel better about having another child. If I got pregnant right and and we don't sell our house, we would make it work. It just wouldn't be as comfortable as I would like.

I have the fever!!!!!!!!

DS is only 3 months old and I admit I've got a bit of baby fever! Ha! I don't think we want to try for #2 until DS is 1 year old tho. I want to make sure to BF him until he's 1.

I can't wait for #2,3,4...Sophie is not even a month old yet and husband said two is his limit but I'm hoping he'll reconsider, if not I guess two is enough. God willing we are even blessed with a second, either way we are NTNP (when we get the okay from Dr.) so we'll see what happens...and how soon. (:

I had the fever.... Until I got an awful week long migraine that reminded me of what its like for me to be pregnant. Not only was it a week of pure pain, but a week that I couldn't take care of and barely got to see lo. It sucked. Seeing a pain management doctor tomorrow..... Hoping hell have some answers. Or my pregnancy fever might turn to adopting fever.

@regberadaisy: my bad haha.

My fever is so high I need to go to the hospital!!! We want to wait until I go back to work before trying again, and part of me wants to wait until after my NOLA trip with my sister in June, but MAN, baby rabies hard core in the Prettyhouse right now.

I have the fever but am definitely holding out! I want to be better off financially and be able to spend more time with just LO. At least till he's 18 months.
