More children?

I was so set on one and done, but I guess what they say is right.. eventually you might want another one. How many of you “one and done” mamas are considering another baby?🥹 I definitely wanna wait until my daughter is three to try. She is almost 15 months now. It goes so damn fast. But then part of me is scared to have another because what if the next baby is hard..I’ve been very blessed with a really good easy-going child who has slept through the night since three weeks old. So 😅

The more time goes on the more I feel like one is perfect for our family. I do not have to split my attention and I can be there for her in all the ways. I am a very hands-on mom, so I think my high anxiety would cause me to feel guilty if I could not dedicate the same amount of time to each child. Sometimes this makes me sad. But one day at a time.

@Stephanie I feel exactly the same way, some days I’m so sure I want another but the other days I’m like maybe one is a enough😅

I feel the same way as @Stephanie plus I really do not want to go through the newborn stage again. I know it’s just a phase but it’s one I don’t want to re live, especially with a toddler at home. Our hands are plenty full with one.

Another thing for me is like taking her to the pool. I legit can’t imagine that with two kids. Swim diapers, showering, etc… walking in, carrying them… And I have head that if a newborn cries then the other baby/toddler wakes up… and I just don’t think I could stomach watching my daughter have a regression… or be upset. And so many forms I have read “it gets better after 6 months.” But like…. 6 months!?? Women are lucky to have mat leave for 12 weeks in this stupid place we call the land of the free… like I didn’t hit postpartum depression till my daughter was 8MO… Whew. Rant over!

And as I write this message, I am enjoying the four minutes it takes for her bottles to heat up while my husband is playing with her upstairs. I am enjoying the quiet few moments and my theragun Lol.

Last thing worth mentioning…I am an only child and was always fine. Was in many activities and grew up in the “fun” house…

@Stephanie man. I wasn’t even thinking about all that. That is such a valid concern. You’re totally right. I couldn’t imagine my daughter being woken up by a new baby. I’d feel so guilty.

@Amber I don’t mean to be such a poo!!! If you choose to do it, I’m sure it will be great! People obviously do it all of the time. You know yourself best :)

Lol ohhh noo not me. More than one kid is for strong people, I'm weak!!! One for me is plenty, husband feels the same way, luckily.
