How old is your LO??

ETA - just reread, wow! You're crazy at 6.5 months, I couldn't imagine another!! I'd work on your marriage a little more before TTC #2. We hit a rough patch with adjusting to parenting and in our case, another LO would just exacerbate our issues (mostly household balance stuff!)

Girrrrrl. My one year old woke up at midnight, 3, and then got up for the day at 5, after all but refusing both naps yesterday.
The thought of another baby makes me feel like vomiting.

I'm pretty sure pregnancy fatigue, sleep deprivation, and chasing a toddler would kill me.

@Mrs squirreld: oh man, I just assumed you had one of those easy, magic sleeping babies I hear about. You are crazy if you have a bad sleeper like me and want another one. Seriously. How are you functioning?! I cry every morning! Ahhhhhh!

Look lady, I'm keeping out of it this time! I talked you into it last time and look what happened! He's 6.5 months now!!

Seriously though, you are CRAZY! I can't even imagine it right now!! I'm firmly with @Silva: in the makes-me-want-to-vom camp!!

I would make sure your marriage is rock solid first. Sleep deprivation with the first plus pregnancy exhaustion plus the second baby is a lot to soldier through on, without a firm foundation. No sense making it an even more uphill battle than it already is!

I know that it is hard to wait when you are ready but your marriage is 100% more important then the timing of kids. Another LO is just going to add more stress, worry, lack of sleep, and less time together.

I've had baby fever since DS was a wee lil infant also. Something about the small little babies is so precious!! DS is currently 8.5 months old and I love the stage he's in now, but he's a terrible, terrible, terrible sleeper. Waking numerous times at night. He's an awesome baby during the day, but the lack of sleep at night is killing me. This is one of the main reasons I've put off TTC, plus we're still BF so no cycle yet!

@Cherrybee: Thank you!
