BearWallowSchool Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have two children already. They are 3 and 2. Friends and family were shocked and horrified when I found out I was pregnant with #2 so soon after #1. :glare: (My age does not help matters, I was 20 and 21 when they were born) Up until about a month ago I was not ready, but I think I'm getting ready. I've been looking at baby things, thinking about baby things, I even have a maternity skirt in my Old Navy shopping cart. :D I've been doing some pregancy math and even if I got pregnant right now the kids would be about 3 and 4 when the new baby comes. I guess I just know, no matter when I announce pregnancy #3 everyone is going to respond, "So soon, oh my! Doesn't sh already have her hands full." :001_huh: I just want permission from the hive to have baby fever no matter what my mother or my MIL, or my sister.....think! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 go right ahead!!! When I told my dad about #3 he said "oops." Then when I told him about #4 he said "you figured out what causes that yet?" I suppose he has that baby boomer assumption that 2 kids is enough for any one. I just laughed and told him we were excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have 3, 2 and 2 1/2 years apart. It's harder at first, but it's so nice to have them all in a pack like that now that they're older. My kids are as close as any siblings I know (I mean, they fight like crazy sometimes, too, of course). And it makes it much easier to find things to do that appeal to everyone. Oh, and adding my third was a breeze compared to going from one to two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearWallowSchool Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh, and adding my third was a breeze compared to going from one to two. That is good to know. I just got my oldest fully potty-trained. Our wallet was not happy about two in diapers. I would like to wait long enough to be assured that I could have #2 trained before #3 comes along.

blakereese Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Baby fever is always good! :001_smile: You can catch some from me! My youngest just turned 1, and I have had baby fever for 6 months. :lol: I think I will always have it. Don't worry about what your family thinks. I always wonder why people can't just consider a baby a blessing and bite their tongues?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapsetmom Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Have you ever regretted your other children and wished they weren't here? Does your family truly wish they weren't born? Of course not! Have baby fever all you want; don't worry what others think. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Don't worry about what your family thinks.

Of course, then my screen name would be incorrect. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachmejoy Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have a 6 yo and a 3 yo. I have wanted a baby all year, but dh says it's not practical. :glare: (He didn't have a job for over a year because he was training as a missionary pilot) He has used every excuse in the book... I can't change his mind. Praying for a miracle??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyej Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I desperately wish I'd had more when my youngest (9 in a week) was 2. Or 3. Or 4. Or... You get the idea. :) Assuming you have a strong marriage and are stable enough financially to give your kids the basics, I say "Go for it!" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athena1277 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Our baby nephew was born yesterday and i got to hold him last night. It has given me a bit of "baby fever", but we don't know for sure if we want another. If you know you want a 3rd, let the fever begin!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: does baby fever always result in baby reality? If so, I think I'm going to have to stop giving in to this baby fever; I'm just not ready for baby reality! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I think I'm going to have to stop giving in to this baby fever; I'm just not ready for baby reality! :lol: For me, "baby fever" = hormones + ovulation= unprotected (married) sex=ds2 :001_smile: So there is a good chance of the one causing the other.

sewingmama Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Question: does baby fever always result in baby reality? If so, I think I'm going to have to stop giving in to this baby fever; I'm just not ready for baby reality! In my case it did. As soon as my kids got over their newbornness (around 6 months old) I would start feeling baby fever. I got pregnant when my first was 6 months old and then again when my 2nd was a year old. I also got pregnant when my 3rd was 9 months and 18 months but miscarried both of them. I am not the best person to be having babies so close together (I'm terribly short on patience) but the baby fever ALWAYS wins :lol: Plus each miscarriage I have only makes it worse andI get more desperate to have another - even though 3 probably really is a good number for me to stop at. I'm a terrible family planner :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom4him Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You have my permission.:001_smile: When I got pregnant with our second my mil had a fit! My mom sat across the room from her and with a very somber face said, "Well, one thing that was for sure with my babies, there was always at least 9 months and 15 minutes between them." She never cracked a smile but the gleam in her eyes was priceless AND my mil never said another word.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at your blog once or twice, too, and totally appreciate your photography skills (mostly because I have none) :) But that baby...oh, my! I'd eat her up if she got anywhere too close! Oh, and thank you for contributing to my (tiny, but growing) baby fever...if I get prego, I'll tell DH it's the Hive's fault. (Because, of course, baby fever is what causes pregnancy...I learn new things all the time here on WTM!) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
