BABY FEVER that is! 
DS is 8.5 months, we have no plans of TTC until at least next year! And while I had a pretty average pregnancy, average birth, and super 'easy' first baby, I'm in no rush and haven't had any bouts of baby fever...
THAT IS, until this wknd!
I was out at Target, and a first time parent couple were in front of me in line at checkou with their sweet newborn baby boy. I literally thought about DS beign that tiny and had to cool myself off on the drive home!

I don't think I have full-on fever, but Hubs and I always said we wanted two babies close in age, and the plan was to start TTC for #2 once #1 was 6 months. Xander's now 5 months, so I think about it ALL THE TIME, even though I'm not really desperate for a newborn or anything, haha.

I have it bad right now. Ever since I found out one of my friends is pregnant. We want to wait until DS is 2 but at the same time we aren't exactly preventing...

I was doing great until @Matador84 posted about her BFP! (Our LO's have the same birthday!). Now, I can hear my clock tick-tick-ticking, and it is so loud that it sometimes manages to drown out the fact that I had a miserable, complicated pregnancy and delivery, and the fact that LO didn't sleep much at night until around 9 months (and she is just now 11 months!), and the fact that I don't know how in the world I would ever manage a second baby!

I had it in the recovery room after my first LO was born. It got really bad at 3-6 months PP.
I don't have right now...toddlers and babies are exhausting!

I had it. Pretty much as soon as LO was born. Then it went away from months 6-11. Now it's back!

Nothing so far. I love seeing the sweet little snuggly newborns with their mommies, but I don't want my own again for a very long time (I'd be 100% fine with one and done, but DH wants more)

I actually didn't get baby fever until the first round of TTC. I realized how bad I wanted a baby when AF showed up after that first TWW. DH already had baby fever at that point, in fact he had baby fever since we were engaged lol!

@MsLipGloss: I would just like to say it would be a disservice to the world if you don't have another one since you make such pretty babies. Lightning can't strike twice on a terrible pregnancy and delivery right??
I was fine until one of my BFF's just told me she's preggers. I oscillate between being crazy jealous, and being so glad it's her and not me! HA!

The very first time? When I was 16 and read 'The Baby Catcher' by Peggy Vincent. OMG, I wanted to experience birth so bad! Of course, I wasn't even exactly sure how babies were made, so it wasn't even a sexual urge, just wanting to experience that power and intimacy. And I did, 4 years later.

I had it around the time LO was 6 months and then it went away and did not return until LO was 1 years old. I would really prefer to get pregnant after our Germany trip in September.

@MamaMoose: I have had those thoughts myself! >.< And yanno, as he was stitching me up (after pulverizing my abdomen, which I swear hurt worse than delivering LO!), my OB looked up at me and said "If you have another child, I can pretty much guarantee that your delivery will be easier." /facepalm Part of me really (really) wants LO to have a sibling, and the other part of me says whaddareyounuts?!
But at my age . . . tick tock tick tock.
ETA: And thank you.

Not until 28, but it was raging until my little guy arrived when I turned 30. It let up until about the time he turned 1, now it is outta control! I swoon over babies again!

Want a second CHILD, but as far as newborn babies go? I don't know that I'll EVER really have it. But my newborn experience was terrible.
