Fuck it, I want to make babies
I go away for ONE WEEK with just my husband, and I want him to knock me up.
I knew this would happen.
So sometime soon I may be pregnant, if the fertility gods are beaming down upon me..beaming or just rolling their eyes because I'm an idiot.
Lets talk about second kids. Is this even the right section for this? I mean, I had sex so it kind of works right?

We're trying for our second kid right now, too. Your last line was so funny it made me spit out my m&m.

What'd you want to know?
I'll be honest, the first six-eight months with two kids was not fun. Partly because Sprout was a stubborn little baby. Partly because of my general non-appreciation for babies. Partly because it's tough to learn how to juggle two kids.
That said, Sprout is a year now and the Bean is 3 1/2 and they're getting along very well. It's heartwarming to see them together.

I've had serious baby fever for a while now. And, to my utter amazement, Mr. Shoes actually admitted that he's got the bug as well.
However, with no health insurance and an unstable employment situation on my end, my baby making days are on hold. We're having fun practicing though!
Good luck to you!

That's what I'm hoping for.
Heartwarming stuff.
I figure that the new hypothetical baby can not stink as much as Paige did as a newborn. She literally slept for 20 minute chunks and screamed until she was blue in the face..anything less than that will be angelic for me.

Good luck. Our first baby is 8 months, and we've been trying for number 2, with no success yet. I don't think anyone's ever ready, so my theory is to just fly by the seat of my pants!

My first was a screaming little monkey. Everything was tough with her. My second was an easy laid back angel baby. Fast forward several years and my eldest is an easy sweet little angel and my baby is hell on fucking wheels! She's learned to give and bend for him and he has become accustomed to wanting everyone to pay attention to his every move and love him damn it!
I wouldn't trade having two for anything. They love each other like crazy. And they can play together for hours with joy - as long as he understands to back off and give her space when she really needs to be alone, and as long as she always gives him his way.

Edamame...how old is Bug?
I don't have a big gap between the kids. But yes, it's weird to have to divide time between two of them. I mostly spent my time with the Bean and very little with Sprout. Only now after a year, do I feel that I'm developing a relationship with her.
This is a weird analogy, but it's kind of like eating at a buffet. You don't get a large helping of any one thing, but smaller samples of lots of things. I don't have as much time one on one with either of my kids, but I do have a lot of time with them together.

I am 10 and 13 years older than my brothers. I was SO excited when they were born, and we're all close. There wasn't much jealousy because I was old enough to express my feelings, so resentment didn't bubble over, and because I was busy with school and activities. But sometimes I was treated as Mom, jr instead of a sibling, and I didn't like that at all.

Does anyone else here have a huge gap between the kids?

Having one kid is awesome. Having two is even better. It takes a little more juggling but not as much as you'd think. We had Max when Mo was out of diapers and a fairly independent player so that helped. I kept hearing how hard it was going to be and it wasn't it was just different.
Then again I'll probably being eating those words come January when no. 3 shows up.
