When to have baby #2 or 3 or 4 or whatever you are on!

Hi Mama's!

So hubby and I were discussing the other day when to have another baby. Brielle was our first ( well together, he has a 12 yr old dd) and we are thinking of having 2 maybe 3, and thats a big maybe. We just dont agree when the best time is. I refuse to be pregnant or at least huge in the summer, April was enough for me! so in saying that I would like to have the 2nd baby between Jan-April. February would be perfect! lol to bad things dont work out as planned normally. I do not want to get prego next summer so I think we will probably start trying right around the time Brielle turns 2. Then the next baby will be born right before she turns 3.....again if I get preggo fast like with Brielle.
Connor would love to try now, I am sooooooo not ready to be preggo again, Really not ready, plus given the chance I would like to enjoy Brielle before having # 2. if we got pregnant so be it ,but I prefer to plan!

what have you ladies decided? or done!

I loved being pregnant, except for my high blood pressure at the end and having to be induced at 38 weeks...but up until then everything was perfect.  Hubby and I have talked and he was ready to have #2 right after Reece was born.  A second is in the plans, but not that close.  I want 2-3 years apart, so I can enjoy time with Reece before handling another baby.  I wanted 5-6 years, because I wanted to be able to spend time with Reece when he started school and be that mom that participates in every field trip and class projects...but 5-6 years is more of an age gap than I wanted with my kids.  So, we set on 2-3 years, but know that it will happen when it's meant to happen.  With my past, I'm sort of scared to try again.  We had 2 losses and 8 months with a fertility doctor to get Reece.  But, I've already talked to the nurses at my fertility doctor's office and they told me to just give them a ring when I'm ready to get pregnant and I'll come back and go through them again.  Which I loved!  Since I've rambled, I guess I'm trying to say, you know in your heart when the time is right for you.

I will be trying after June 4th 2011 my brothers wedding. because I was pregnant with my dd in my friends wedding when I was only 5 weeks pregnant with her and her twin(VTS) and I was already showing lol so I don't want that to happen again. so once I get the IUD placed we can start to have sex and hopefully this birthcontrol lasts longer then 9 months if not i will be having a baby around may of 2011 which would not be in my plans.

I feel like Aaron and i having been talking about having #2 since Kyra was born!!  I really miss being pregnant and other than having some problems at the end truly loved it the whole time.  If Aaron had his way we would be trying right now, but I know i need to enjoy this time with Kyra while we have it.  So we decided to start trying again next spring and just see what happens.  I am birth control right now and will stay on it until next year and because i plan on breastfeeding until Kyra is 1 it is hard telling when my body will get back to normal.  While i know you can get pregnant while breastfeeding i just won't be planning on it happening as quickly as it did last time.  I just worry about being able to handle two little ones!!  Right now i feel like there aren't enough hours in the day and i only have one, but next year i will become a SAHM so i hope that will make things a little more managable...Wow just thinking about makes me not want to wait anymore!!! :)
