hard time waiting...

[kayla93]

Hey ladies,
Is anyone else having a hard time waiting to have another baby? My LO is only 9 months old and I really want another baby! I loved being pregnant and I love kids! But currently, we are waiting because I am right in the middle of nursing school, and I graduate in May of 2015. Having two would be so hard, almost impossible, and yet, I want another one so bad!
Does anyone else feel this way??

A few months ago, yes I did. I got really upset a few times because of it, and it's silly really as I know I'd be silly to have another one now, as much as I wanted a small age gap (18 months is what I'd have liked).

I don't know what it is now, but it doesn't bother me as much that I can't have another any time soon. I'm still broody all of the time, but not half as much as I was a few months ago.

Yes! Absolutely. DD is 4 months, but OH and I are already discussing if / when to have another LO. Like you, I want to wait awhile... But it's so hard! We currently have our own place, but I'd like to wait until we move into our first single-family house rather than a townhouse, get married, and finish up my degree (also in nursing!) so it'll definitely be awhile before we TTC. It's super frustrating, but I just keep reminding myself it's in everyone's best interest.

... That still doesn't stop me from looking at tons of baby stuff on Pinterest, though!

I am! I'm so broody. But, I've held out 3 years, I'm sure I'll survive another 2735294 years

I am so glad to know I am not alone! I do the same thing Caitie44! I always am looking on pinterest or at stores looking at all the baby stuff! It gets really bad sometimes. I just keep trying to remind myself that nursing school is hard enough with one baby and that two would make it even harder, but then I have those days when I say, nope, I dont care, I want another one! A year just seems so long to wait, and then there is passing NCLEX and getting a job too... urgh lol

I have a two year old & some days I want another baby SO bad but then there are my days where I honestly don't know how I even handle one child. I honestly would be ecstatic to have another baby but my gut tells me now's not the time. I know it's important to go back to school or at least be financially stable for me to stay at home and take care of another child.
