well i have one that is almost 23 months and we felt the same way at first

but know he is older and sleeps thur the night. we just cant see ourself

going back through it all again. it was fun why it lasted. the only thing i can

say is if your ready and want to take on that responsiblty again then go for

it. the only thing is the your 8 month old child will be nearly 2 and you know

about the terrible 2's. just do whatever you feel is best for you and joe.

yes i agree with you. i have nieces and they were close together. but its not

like that having my own u know? id like to get kylee to use the big girl potty

first b4 we have another one but for some reason i feel that my clock is

tickin lol!

well i can tell u from mine and my wifes experience. we only wanted one when we had our 1st 9 years ago but as time went on literally. 6 years later we decided to have another one. when we wanted one we went for it. if u are stable financially and dont have any problems with the 1st then by owe means have another. dont have one to haone. dont make it a burden. took us 6 years to come to that realization even the though 1st wasnt a burden. but we have one now almost 3 and the 9 year old both girls that i love and adore. as for a 3rd kid it aint happenening. im getting to old for this. my 2 now are great and a 2 handfuls. i got one going into the style and i want the best clothes and wants a cell phone and all that good stuff that i was never worried about as kid growing up. but times are different and i understand that thats y she gets what she wants when she earns it. now my youngest is about to turn 3 in ctober so she is at the most irritating stage for a parent. my odest never had terrible 2's but my youngest is making up for it .lol shes like a boy in a girls body. tons of energy. makes me wonder if we need to see a doc about if it is normal. but anyways they are natural feelings that u are having but u need to make sure u both are having it. that advice #1. well i hope u guys make a good desicion and the right one. good luck to u and panam.

Hi there.

First of all I'm pregnant and due in November so maybe this is just my hormones talking or whatever but here is my opinion.

I don't think it's crazy.

There it is.

I said it.

I do think it is your option and we can just try to be comforting and welcome and help you in any questions you ask and try to do our job by caring and answering them the best we can.

I think I might try for another kid in a short while because I want to be a monther of 8 and I might be better in my younger years, lol.

I think it is great that you and your husband have the responsibility to talk about the future in various ways, now, the little future ahead, and the long haul.

I don't think it's baby blues, but maybe some of the other members are right when I'm not.

But if you ever need a new family, NDN forum is here to lend an ear.

I hope I gave you some insight and helped.

I didnt think she was going crazy either. The way i see is, the best is yet to

come. Kylee is gonna be walking and talking soon, so that something big to

look forward to. Right now, kylee is just always smiling and giggly all the time,

except for when she lets ou know she is hungry or her gums start to bug her.

I dont know nothing about this baby blue stuff, I just know i dont have any

of that.

REally is a ..look at your situation.... having more right away is the right thing to do for some and waiting is the right thing to do for others.

my boys were one year 5 months apart......this is enuf to be good and to be difficult at the same time.... you need to tackle the feat of splitting your attention up equally while maintaining your 24/7 surveillance on both. It can be done. just remember the commitment of family is in place already(big step) how big a family depends on your time, energy and finances..... It's wonderful...ty for your service to the community of earth.... may we all flourish and love each other greatly and OFTEN!

First let me explain "Baby Blues" the way I understand it....

The Baby Blues is another way to say Postpartum Depression.

So I am going to say no, what you are feeling is not the "Baby Blues."

I could explain it but I found a site that I think you might find interesting.

Nonetheless you will have a complete understanding of the illness.

The site is credible, up to date and written by a panel of doctors, that

include (Ph.D.'s, MD.'s) several of them. The sources are listed.

So here ya go

In my opinion I don't think you are crazy. I also believe that this is perfectly

normal. I also think that one and a half to two years is a perfect age gap.

I think that Woohoosue's advice to you is absolutely golden. I would advise

you to take it straight to your heart.

When you said yesterday Kaylee was a newborn and today she is almost

eight months old.... I had to let out a big sigh... I can relate to you like we

are in the same room, seeing the same thing. As for me I have two

precious daughters.... and like you, I feel that just yesterday they were just

babies and then I too blinked my eyes and now they are 19yrs and 24yrs. I

am not kidding by any means. I have no idea where the years went.. but

they went, and they went fast. So cherish every single moment you have

with your children.
