Scared

[AshleyMommyto2]

With the possibility that I am prego again.. I am soo freak.. And even if I am not DH & I are going to start TTC #2 in Feb.. Even when we do start TTC I will be scared. With Eli I was soo ready and soo blind! LOL Having 2 freaks me can I love them both enough, is it going to kill us money wise, am I ever going to get to sleep again!! LOL

I know there is some other's on here getting ready to TTC again are you scared?
And for those who have more than one baby were you scared, did things turn out better than you thought...

I'm terrified of dealing with a newborn and a toddler at the same time but lots of people do it so I figure I'll make it through. Hopefully with as little injury as possible too. :p

Besides, we'll all be here to help you through it! :support:

I'm terrified, too, Ashley! I thought I was ready. And then lastnight, Cohen was up in the middle of the night for an hour and a half. I started thinking, "Oh Hell, what am I thinking wanting another baby?!!" I thought we might as well go ahead and try b/c I'm going to have to work regardless. But how bad is that going to suck having to go back to work and get up all night long! You did it, right? So how did you do it? I'm so freaked out now. You all know my sleep issues and while I've been sleeping great on this new med, I can't take it while pregnant.

So I understand your fears COMPLETELY. We just have to have faith that we'll make it! I mean, people have 10+ kids, right? So surely we can handle two. I hope.

I also feel scared. There are days when Kaiya is such a handful and then has some horrible nights of sleeping that I think "Am I nuts? Why would I subject myself to more of this?" But I know I want more children and I know that it will work out. I just have to jump in with both feet and go for it.

Yeah Heather I worked and was soo tired. I would go 2 & 3 days without sleep I mean NONE and work. I think that is what has me soo freaked. When I came back to work I wore no make up did not dress up b/c one my prego clothes were way to big and I still wasn't back into my old clothes. But with all those sleepless nights and working around the clock it seemed I lost all the lbs and 30 more! LOL

It is not easy in the beginning to work and have an infant it was really hard on me. But remember too what made it worse was b/c I had REALLY BAD PPD I mean BAD. I so hope that doesn't happen again. Maybe things will go smoother.

I wonder if I can handle it too! It's scary! But I know you'll do great! You're a great Mommy and you'll have plenty of love to go around!

I always think back to Conner's Newborn days, and even now he doesn't sleep that good at night. How am I gonna do that all over again and chase a toddler around all day? It's a scary thought! But we're Mommies we can do anything. ;) :support:

[Heather]

Yeah Ashley, I had some PPD, too. I didn't really feel like I was back to my old self for a good 9 months. I guess we just do what we have to do, right?

It's so scary. I think that's partly why I'm so "ehh" about ttc. I'm not super excited and I'm doing it because I know I want it, I'm just nervous as all get go. I think we'll survive and make it through. We're tough and wonderful women, and even better mommies. If we're good with one we must be better with two, right?? :blush:

I guess! LOL Hey if the Dugger Mom can handle 19 can't we handle 2? LOL

[Heather]

I'm seriously starting to freak and think maybe I'm not ready! WTH is my problem? At least you girls know how I feel and ya'll can freak out with me. Lastnight I was thinking maybe I don't need to have anymore kids EVER.

[AshleyMommyto2]

Aww Heather!! ((BIG HUGS)) we all have those days. Your are a REALLY REALLY GOOD MOM! We are here for you!

[Farah]

I think the same thing sometimes, Heather, but I realize that it's just fear and just suck it up and deal.

[Elaine]

I think I'd be ok if I could skip over the newborn stage. I think back to how sleep deprived I was the first few weeks and I have no idea how I'll manage a toddler and a baby, at the same time, when I'm that tired. :ummm:

Then I think my mom did it (3 kids under the age of 4!!!) and tons of other moms do it so I can do it too. :twothumbs:
