Husband getting baby fever?!

Our August baby is now almost 14 months and I just went to the OB for my annual well woman visit. It was the same doctor that delivered our son and she said I was physically “ready” to conceive again if we wanted and was even asking when that would be. I laughed it off because LO only just recently started sleeping through the night, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a little excited. I also packed away all my maternity and nursing clothes, which felt so strange.

Anyway, fast forward to yesterday in the car with DH after going grocery shopping. I casually said that I thought we should wait until next summer to start trying again so that the baby wouldn’t have a birthday near LO’s and so that I have more time to establish my business (just opened my private family therapy practice). He joked, “way to take all the romance out of it!” And I was like, “well, if you want it to be more spontaneous I guess we could whenever you’re ready.” He looked at me and said, “so you’d be ready tonight?” And I was trying to hide me shock but I said, “I guess?” And he was like, “no, we can’t yet...” But I could tell he was joking/ sincere and he has been super lovey dovey since!!!

The reason I’m freaking out so much is because it took a few years to convince him to try for our first and only. He has always, since the day we met, only wanted maybeeeee one kid. I’ve always been very up front that I want two. It was an inside joke when I’d mention two kids and he would always say “one.” So I really think he has come around. He is such a great dad like I always knew he would be. He doubted himself because he didn’t have a great dad growing up and was worried he would continue that pattern, but so far he is crushing this dad thing. I’m just over the moon and wanted to share this with someone who might understand! :)
