When is the right time to have another baby? That is the million dollar question right!? If you ask 10 peole, you will get 10 different answers/opinions. We had talked about it before but not seriously, but it came up again the other day. I used to think I wanted to wait until Lola was 3 or so before we had another but recently have been thinking I want them to be closer in age. I think it would be nice to have another when she is around 2-1/2, which would be early next summer. Ryan, on the other hand, still thinks that waiting until Lola is 3 is the way to go.
Part of our conversation the other night: But you want to run the 1/2 marathon in October (him). Yes, I do, but I could still probably run it even if I was a few months pregnant (me). But are you ready to be pregnant again (him)? Will I ever be (me)? But are you ready to lose the abs you have worked so hard to get back (him)? Will I ever be ready to lose them (me)? But that would mean you would be pregnant towards the end of this summer (him)! Duh (me).
I think what he was really trying to say is that he is not ready for me to be fat again! Ha. Actually, what he is most worried about is Lola not being an only child and wondering if he will love a 2nd child as much as he loves his 1st. I don't have the answer to that, but I hear from people with 2 or more kids that they do indeed love them all equally. So we never actually came to an agreement on a timeline... I guess we will just have to wait and see!
hey jenny~ sorry i don't usually comment..but I thought I'd share my opinion on this one :)
ReplyDeletei think the closer you have them together, the easier it is for the older one to adjust to. my girls just turned 3 and if they had been the "only ones" until now, having another little boy, they would have some jealousy issues. But since they were not even two when their other brother was born, they are used to sharing attention, toys, love, time, etc. close is better i think :) glad to get to read your blog and keep up with you!
