I must be NUTS...lol

ok, i know the other day on my other post i said I'd be upset if I got preggo again soon... but the more I think about it the more I miss it. I wouldn't want to get pregnant NOW however maybe in 6 months or so. I really want my kids close together at least the first 2.
DH and I were talking today and we agreed to try within this next 2 years if things work out right. see.... he wants a baby born on 1 of 3 chinese new years: monkey, dragon, or tiger.... so whichever year is next we try... even if it's next year! I can't believe he agreed to it. HE is the one who said it!

What do you think?  I'm not too worried financially because I figure it'll be easier if theyre both in diapers and not 1 school age and 1 newborn... because they could go to preschool/daycare at the SAME time as well as just using hand me downs from TJ if it's another boy. I already have girl clothes.  I'd only be worried in regards to stress with us, but we've handled this well so far. we haven't had too many huge fights (actually only 1 when this first began... and he made me cry and apologized)

I agree I also want to get pregnant agian soon I miss it. I had a complicated pregnancy but I miss it!

by the way... for some odd reason. I'm smaller than I was before getting preggo (2 or more lbs.. I find out the true amt tomorrow) and I actually have a waist now! I had no waist figure before cause I have a short torso.... but DH likes my body better now. lol, I can't figure out why it has reacted like that to pregnancy.... Ive always been one to pack on weight.

BTS: Yea... hubby actually told me Id have to get off and not tell him or hed freak and chicken out. :) hes wierd like that. he'd actually be ok w/it once I was pregnant after an initial freakout like w/this one. :) I hated depo and put on 50lbs on it over the 3 yrs I took it. I'm getting a Copper IUD and will get it removed probably fall of next year.that way we can have my next one by march or april before it gets too hot. I do NOT want to be preggo another summer.

well i have a twin sister and a brother who is a year and 4 months younger and i actually love being close in age with them both even tho my mom was a teen when she had us but my sister and brother are not only my siblings but really close friends. i think having your kids close in age are great. they will grow up being close and hopefully stay close through out there lives :)

lol...my hubby would KILL me if I had done something like that lol. I wanted off my depo ASAP when he got fixed, but he wanted me to stay on it 6 months longer just to be on the safe side....which didnt work anyways lol

I think having kids close in age is a good idea, and I also think that having all the babies you want early on in life is also a good thing. I know once I give birth to Conner I will be begging hubby to have his vesectomy reversed lol, but once Conner hits his terrible 2's I know it will be a swift reminder of why I am done having babies lol.

:) after looking it up turns out TIGER is in 2010. So we will start trying after June of next year. :)
Im kind of looking forward to it. My brothers and I are all clost together. 2 yrs except for me and my oldest younger bro which is 17mo.

When my mom got preggo w/my younger sister who she miscarried at 5 mo she wound up preggo by choice within  6 weeks.  that was my middle bro. :) So looks like I hve a plan. (and if dh is chicken I'll do just what he told me in the first place. get my IUD removed and not tell him. He TOLD Me to do it! lol)

Thats how I felt when I had my first child. Although she passed away, I wanted to try immediatley for another baby because I missed being pregnant. Then I had my son 2 years later, he is now a very healthy 4 yr old, and after I had him I thought I was done, but 2 years later I got pregnant with Aiden my youngest son, and after he was born I knew I was done lol. It was very very hard to try and raise both kids, but I had different circumstances as I was doing it on my own as hubby was deployed all the time. Hubby and I agreed that we didnt want anymore children so he underwent a vesectomy, and I had planned on staying on my depo for 6 months after his vesectomy, incase it didnt work. Well little did I know that my little eggy was one supreme b!tch lol, she was able to lure out 1 more good swimmer and sure enough im pregnant again 2 years after my youngest son was born. All my children are 2 years apart which is kind of nifty, but it is hard at the same time. Needless to say 4 children later I KNOW I am DONE! lol.
