So my first, was likely my easy kid, and then when I found out I was prego when she was 3 months old, I was like..."Alright, another healthy baby, that'll be a breeze!" HA! My second one was/is kind of hell! Mostly because having to deal with 6 different doctors for him, and it was just stress. But here I am prego with number 3, and still dealing with his 6 different doctors, and a H E L L of a lot of other issues with me, but I wouldn't have it any other way!
Of course my son has always been a happy baby, and it's just the lovely road and journey to go down to raise good kids. I you really want another baby, and hubby does as well. GO FOR IT! The second, third, and so on become a lot easier because your not brand new parents, you have experience, and trust me, everything that your going through now with TJ will definately keep you more sublevel if something happens to the next. I never thought i'd really beable to be so patient, and yet I have so much patience it irritates some. (For instance, it irritates the mil)
=)
AMY~ Definitely. I think that's how we feel. I mean, did you have a second baby? was it easier?
It has to be. we've been thru the ringer with TJ, seriously. I would only hope the next one is a girl.... I haven't talked to DH about it yet, but I may... I 'm still thinking about it. (if it's something I even truly want to consider.)
I've never had this happen but LauraB was just posting on another question (when/how did you get pregnant) and she mentioned that she had sex during her period thinking she couldn't get pregnant...SO, I'm just speculating, maybe she had it at the end of her cycle, then ovulated a day or two after and the swimmers were still up there for the egg and voila...she'll be welcoming her baby Jaxson in the next couple weeks!
So, it could be totally possible especially with all the stress your under...even everyday stress can affect a woman's cycle!
Hang in there!
I am not sure what to tell you...other than I have noticed that stress can TOTALLY mess up my cycle!! I'm sure with everything you are going through, that has a lot to do with it!!
I know my daughter's situation wasn't as dire as TJs...but she had horrible acid reflux and was a nightmare baby for the first four months of her life. Instead of having those issues push me AWAY from another baby, it actually made me want a 2nd child even more because I KNEW it had to be easier to have a "healthy" child. I bet you're feeling a lot of those same things and I can totally relate!!! :)
