Quoting thechelseamonster:" Landon and Oliver are like night and day. I've noticed a trend in first babies being totally crazy and second babies being really laid back and "easy"."

This is good news!

Glad to hear you got everything under control, ppd isn't anything to mess around with!


Baby fever!? I feel like I won't ever get baby fever again, at least not the way I had it before I was pregnant. Knowing what I know now has ruined that I think! LOL I too, have my days when I think we should stick to 1 but as ds gets older they are getting fewer and farther between.

We live 800 miles away from the nearest family member so we don't get date night as it is. I guess my only reason not to would be to not have to go through the first year again and that's not a good reason because what is a year in the course of a lifetime? Like nothing!

We had actually planned on ttc starting in March 2013 (our 10 year wedding anniversary) but we are holding off for now. Hopefully I can convince hubby before this time next year because I want to be done having babies before I'm 30 and that will be September of 2014.

That is very true a year is nothing compared to a lifetime! I even tell myself I'm crazy for having baby fever from time to time. I too wanted to be done by 30. So if its 1 then so be it, but it makes me sad to think that when I'm 30 DS will be like 7  but if I were to have another by the time I'm 30 that baby won't be a baby anymore either lol. It's just hard when I literally have 2 mommy friends, but my one friends DS stays with her exs grandma on weekends(BD is in jail) so she of course want to go out and stuff.

Yeah, I know what you mean! My hubby and I have been together for 13 years and waited 11 years to get pregnant. We had our fun. It's still nice to go out and have a nice dinner but when we were your age it was just party, party, party! You have PLENTY of time to have another baby before you're 30!   Or 2 or 3! LOL

When you were my age? Your NOT that much older than me!  lol and no...def. NOT 3! LOL.
We still like to have out fun, I'm for sure in need of a date night!

I was figuring you were 22 or 23 so 5-6 years ago! LOL It probably just seems like it because 8 years away from 30 feels like forever but less than 2 seems like tomorrow.   You are never too old to have fun but my definition of fun has changed quite a bit since then! I could use a date WEEK! LOL

I kind of am in the same place. I have a 15 month old. She is a royal terror. Into everything, very busy/active. Sweet heart and the love of my life. She is a wonderful sleeper and super attached to me. But we have our routine and our system she and i. We can both just up and go out. she's a doll, loves being out.

She doesn't eat much, she's a PAIN IN THE ASS. no kidding. she hardly eats a damn thing. Talk about picky eater. she's going to kill me with the food tantrums. i'm terrified of another.

What if the next is just as bad, what if she gets more wild, what if shes' too hard to control and i can't take the two out at the same time. What if I can't cope with it???  

See, Madison was WAY easy. I lucked out seriously. Taylor on the other hand, has been rather difficult. Even if it had been the other way around, I wouldn't have doubted having a second kid. I wanted two kids. They are babies for such a short time, and then you get new struggles. Who knows, Tyler might be insanely laid back later on, or your next kid might be easy at first and very trying later on when it comes to doing things his/her own way. It's never perfect, but each child has their own personality. And considering you do most of the parenting, I think your husband's point about Tyler being difficult is invalid. He really doesn't have a clue sometimes. LOL. You know I love Chris, and he's hilarious, but your'e the one with Tyler all the time.  

Only you and Chris can make this decision. Nobody else.
