+OPK/-thoughts

OK- I finally got one. Now Im freaking out. DH and I have discussed this ad nauseam. We are ready for #2. I'm 34 and we want at least 2 more.

Just like when we conceived #1, I have all these doubts about whether we can really DO it. I know we can (life is actually pretty good), but at the same time I am terrified.

DD is STILL not sleeping through the night, I'm still getting used to my new career, and money will be slightly tight until I start working full time (which won't happen for a few years). Plus- I'm still trying to lose the baby weight from DD.

I know I'm being silly- DH and I have DISCUSSED all this. I am just SO terrified of change- every major life decision I have ever made has always thrwn me into a tailspin.

Sorry- I guess I just need a pat on the back and a kick in the @ss telling me it'll all be FINE (or at least tell me to stop being such a wuss).

Here are my thoughts. The fact that you and your DH have discussed this at length shows that you two are mature adults who can handle what life throws at you. People who live with EXTREMELY limited means do it all the time. From the little you have shared, you seem to be level headed and prepared. You can do this!!!!

It will be fine! you sound like you and DH are totally prepared to have another baby. The fact that it is a major life change is true - yet having a family is one of the most wonderful things in life.

So yes, money will be tight and you will get no sleep but you are adding on to your beautiful family!!
