I haven't told anyone we want to try soon but I've kinda hinted that I want another. The responses I got from my sisters, mom and grandmother were that I need to wait a little longer, at least until our boy is potty trained and around "3". I'm sorry but that's society's norm for baby spacing, not mine. My spouse and I really want another baby. Sure, life will be more hectic but I'm ready to brace it. I never thought me out of all people would want to be pregnant again (bc the first birth was emotionally horrible).
We still want to try soon but my family thinks I need to follow their advice and wait. I don't know how three would be any better of a gap than 2. Because quite frankly, my 3 year old nephew is a horror and has just recently been potty trained. My oldest sister doesn't know what to think because she doesn't even want more kids. One is more than she can handle..but I'm more family oriented and I stay at home with my boy, so my life isn't as stressed as hers or my mom.
So in the end do you just do what you feel like doing anyway? Because I am. And even if it means way less sleep and more work, my love for two will still be greater.
Thoughts? Similar situations?
