@anonysquire: At 25, you are still pretty young. I don't see why you need to rush into making another baby especially if you don't feel ready for sex and are already mentioning turkey basters. Why not wait until you physically feel ready?

@LindsayInNY: For real 10.
@MrsMcD: Oh sorry, I was being sarcastic about the turkey baster!
-
@anonysquire: I thought the turkey baster was funny!

@Ash:

@anonysquire: Phew! Thought you were serious.
Best of luck with whatever you decide.

@anonysquire: how are things with your ILs?
-
@MrsMcD: Thank you
@Mrs. Jump Rope: Well according to DH they threw a fit when I said they could not come for the actual birth, and now that we are getting ready to have her baby blessing (like a christening or baptism and pretty big in my religion) we have given them 2 different weekends we could do it and all of a sudden no one wants to show up. Which is fine, but then why throw a fit that you didn't get to come when you wanted to come? Anyways baby Zuma has some awesome local grandparents who gush over her every move and sound and toot. That is all she needs

@anonysquire: we had major problems with my ILs and it put TTC talks on hold. I was given the OK to try for another at my annual, I was 14m PP, and it wasn't something we were ready to do. It caused a lot of stress and anxiety for both of us and wasn't a situation we wanted to bring another child into.
I would enjoy your sweet baby, figure out a long term plan on handling the ILs and work out your anxiety. Didn't you recently mention your MWs wanted to fire you? Postpartum hormones can mask symptoms of depression and anxiety (not always, but can) and if it were me, I'd want all my sucks in a row before trying for a second -- mental health, family, reducing stressors, etc etc. marriage and individual counseling, etc

My doctor strongly encourages a year between pregnancies for optimal health and healing, physically and mentally. She also mentioned recent correlation between back-to-back pregnancies and specific developmental delays. Of course, opinions differ on this front, but I'd personally take some additional time to process. We were riding high on endorphins that first month or two, but have totally mellowed out on our timeline, since.
