Do I???
My biological clock has been ticking super loud again and I’ve been flip flopping on wanting to try for baby #2. To be honest both my hubby and I have been flip flopping. We weigh the pros and cons. Obviously the child itself and the work that goes with it is not a con, so don’t think we are going there. We are thinking cons would be we wouldn’t be able to spoil our daughter the way we do now, we wouldn’t be able to go on nice vacations with them like we can with just one, we wouldn’t be able to give them the best we can give. They wouldn’t be able to be in any sport or activity they wanted to try because we couldn’t afford multiple interests for both. And, we feel as though there wouldn’t be enough time in the day to spend “enough” time with either of them and that bums us out. On the pro side is our daughter would have a sibling, close in age, to grow up with, and of course, another little person to love on. We know our daughter will make friends and she has “cousins” that are 3 years older than her that absolutely adored her that she’ll grow up with, it’s just not the same though. Then there’s the problem of having enough room for 2 kids. We’d have to either rent or buy a 4 bedroom house because my mom lives with us. The two littles can share a room until they hit close to puberty, but then they’d need their own room. Feeding, clothing, diapering, and loving and caring for them are not the issues. I know it sounds superficial all the concerns we have but I guess it boils down to how much we want to give our daughter and what kind of opportunities we want for her. Annnnd.... I’m not gonna lie, I really want to be preggers again. One of my friends who has a daughter who is 5 days younger than mine just told me she’s almost 6 months pregnant and I’m honestly a bit jealous (friendly jealous, not malicious). And I’m trying to cope with the fact that my baby girl will be a year old in 20 days 😭 So much going on, so many feelings. Picture just because she’s adorable 🥰
