To try or not to try

So DH has really started to pester me about having another one.

DS is 19 months old.

Part of me is like, just go for it------you're not getting any younger (I'm in my 30's) but the other part of me is concerned about the financial piece, the fact that my ILs already watch DS for us plus his sister's kids..........and she's trying to TTC as well...........


I also know this sounds selfish but I have so much love for DS that I don't know what it's going to be like to share myself with another child IF it happens.

I don't know what to do!!!!

Re: To try or not to try

I understand your reservations about sharing your love for him. DH once said something really cute to me and it always sticks in my head: When it was just DH and me I told him that I love him so much I felt like I was going to burst, what was I to do with all that love? He said that's the love that goes into our child. So now I am bursting at the seams with love for DS.... I'm going to put that love into our next DC

Re: To try or not to try

It's a difficult decision to try for a second. I know we discussed it for almost a year before deciding we were ready. And at some point I really just say to myself "Just go for it, you know you are going to love all that another child brings".
