if you had a baby in 2012, when do you plan for next LO?

    @lindseykaye: same here!!

    I had my son February 2012. I am nowhere near ready for another but mostly because of finances/job. I am working a decent job but I am going back to school and hope to start nursing program next fall. Which will be another 2-3 years of college. And then at least a year into having a nursing job before having another one. Crazy, I know. That puts us at 2016-2017. J will be in kindergarten.

    We had a Feb 2013 baby in December 2012....I am still horrified by the whole experience so we won't be trying for a long time!! Maybe TTC end 2014/early 2015....

    Mid 2016 (if I can convince my husband we should have another!) Only one in daycare at a time for us, so F needs to be ready to hit Kindergarten. I'd ideally like to do mid-2015, but we'd have to figure out a way to afford two daycare tuition payments for a year. If I can find a way to make that happen, I will!

    we are thinking of TTC this winter/early spring. originally DH wanted to in the fall, but we have so much going on with finding a house, etc, that we think its best to wait!

    We are already ttc, our December 2012 baby needs a sibling (: We've been trying with no luck but shooting for an early/mid 2014 baby (:

    Tor was born September 2012 and the "plan" is to start trying for his sibling somewhere between January and June of 2014. I guess that means end of 2014 or later depending on how long TTC takes. I'm a bit nervous to actually "try" for a baby. I will be 37 in June.

    Had DD in June 2012 and would like a second in the first half of 2014. So far no luck though!

    DS is February 2012 and DS#2 will be here December 2013 (though I'm due in 2014, it will be a c-section). It seems like one of my LO's hit the 12 month mark and my baby fever kicks into high gear!

    DD is May 2012, but we won't be trying for quite a while. We want a November/December baby. We will either try right before her 3rd birthday or right before her 4th birthday. So, we are looking at late 2015-late 2016.

    I just found out I'm pregnant. So my DS (2012) and this new babe will be 2 years apart! We didn't really plan just went with the flow. I'm happy they'll be close in age, but def already dreading the sleep training and breast feeding/pumping, which doesn't feel so long ago at all!

    We are in the exact same situation as @FUTUREMRSMCK. I'd like to try for 2.5 years age difference which would have us ttc spring 2014 but DH isn't totally onboard with a #2 yet. In the long- term he likes the idea of 2 but in the short term he's concerned about cost of child care for another (and I think he is still recovering from our tough first few months!).

    C was a January 2012 baby, and #2 is due March 2014, so just over 2 years apart

    I am so uncertain! Part of me really wants to start trying this fall. Another part of me wants to wait, lose more baby weight, build up our savings, wait for DH to get his promotion so he can be home more often but that could put us out until fall of 2014. I feel like by that time, I'll want to be back at work! I'm torn.

    @lindseykaye: @Mrs. Pen: Same!

    We had C in April 2012. We're looking at another in 2016-17 or so, it all depends on job/finances. DH is exiting the military in the spring, so we have to get back on our feet and settled back into civilian life first.

    We want a 4-6 year age gap. C needs to, at least, be in preschool.

    The plan is to start trying sometime next year for a 2015 baby!

    @loveisstrange: @Mrs. Pen: @DillonLion:
    Since LO was born in the fall after our school entrance cut-off date we might even have to wait an additional year if we want her to be in kindergarden when we have LO#2 That would mean waiting until Summer 2017 to TTC for a Spring 2018 baby.
    That is TOO FAR AWAY. Maybe we can swing it by 2016 with LO in VPK and part-time preschool or something. Or maybe my little girl will be so smart and amazing that the county will let her enter kindergarden at 4?! Hah.
