After a year of trying, I finally got pregnant with my son who is now 19 months old. My husband has really been wanting to start trying for baby 2 for a while, but i wasnt quite ready yet. Now I think I am ready and about a month ago made an appt for this Monday (9/30) to get my IUD out. I haven't told my husband about my appt and plan on surprising him with that news on our anniversary on 10/10.

When I talk about having another baby it makes me really excited but also pretty nervous (OK if I'm being honest it makes me really nervous). I am a cronic over analyzer so of course as the date of my appointment gets closer it becomes more real and then I start questioning if this is the right time to start trying, what will my son think of a sibling, will we be able to give both kids the love and attention they deserve and so on and so forth.

So all that rambling was just for me to ask, for those who have or are trying for another kid, how did you decide when the time was right to start trying and were you nervous too? I realize the answer will be different for everyone, just looking for personal stories / advice
