Hello- I am looking for your opionons and some adivce on the subject of having another child. I have thinkning about having another dc for sometime now and feel like I spend way too much time worrying about this. My ds is 20 months old he will be 2 in March and is the best kid in the whole world. Not a day goes by that I am not gratful for being able to be a SAHM mom , ok anyway my point to my question. I have been thinking about ttc since July and have been tryong but not trying since Aug. I have the attitude if it happens that would be great but I am not stressing over it. I know however the only way I am going to get pf is if I do an OPK kit and every month think about buying one and then I chicken out. I guess my real question is how do you know when you are ready to have another child? I know I want another child but I think I am scared. DH says whatever I decide is ok with him since I am the one who does most of the work(waking up at night the bf and taking care of Cambre during the day). I am worried that maybe Cambre is still to young and a baby but whenever I say that everyone reminds me that he will be 2.5 by the time the baby is born. I said I did not want to worry about this because I did not want it to consume my thoughts but it seems as if I think about all day long. Oh also I am in school for Psyc and won't graduate until 2008 or 2009 but I know I don't want to wait that long. DH says there is no reason to rush he knows I don't want to go to work until I finsh school and all the kids are in elementry school, it is very important for me to SAH and now he has realized it is important for him too. Well thanks for litenting sorry it is so long. Any advice I would greatly appreciate. Thank again.

I guess you have to look at your goals and what you can physically and mentally handle.

honestly, we didn't plan any of our pregnancies. We never used birth control, and just let it happen when it was time. We were married nearly 5 years when we had our first, there are 3 1/2 years between her and my middle child, and just over 2 years between her and the youngest. I'm "fixed" now that we've decided we're done ;o)
I guess you just have to decide what is best for you... whether you want to finish school or not first. You are definitely on the right path by not stressing about it. Having children should be a joy :o)
