Hi all,
DH and I have decided to let nature take its course to have a brother or sister for Arianne. Its rather different this time round, because Arianne wasn't planned now that we decide to have another baby everything is rushing around in my head. All the if's and buts how to manage. Yet with Arianne we never thought about this Has anyone else had this happen? WATCH THIS SPACE!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Yup totally thinking about the next one, but im freaking out at the thought of being pregnant. I cant fathom how to cope with being pregnant and having a 1+ year old as well. And then having 2 babies to look after. But I guess you just cope because people do it. It was so much easier just finding out you are pregnant and thats that.
Good luck :) and have fun |

So been there, lol. DS1 was not planned so happen quickly, but DS2 was & that took for ever, DS3 was not planned to happen so soon after DS2 but it happened...so on the ones I was not trying for I fell pg fast & on the one I wanted so bad took for ever, so guess there is something in the no stress or planning theory, lol.
good luck. |

I think DH is wanting another baby, he was at the doctor today and got me some folic acid hehe and told the doctor we may be trying for a brother or sister.
We even have names down, Kayla and Jayden. Haven't got the middle names sorted yet. For people that are still decided it seems pretty sorted lol. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Mmm I would say if its possible..to come off mini pill??
And just us condoms as contraceptive.. It seems that the pill has to clear out of your system before you can get pg..Sometimes it can take a few months.. You can always go ack on the pill if you decide not to ttc.. Just a thought ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

DH doesn't like condoms therefore we don't have any lol.
As of yesterday I had been taking it for a week lol. We will start offically trying New Years eve so I will come off it in a few weeks. Thats what DH wanted. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I just found this thread and thought i would join in on here to. We are also trying for another sibling for maia i am hoping it will be a boy this time round :)i have been of the mini pill since october and got my af as i would of if still on the pill this month it was only 1week overdue so i am hoping this month will be our month. I to am a little worried i think mainly because of the birth experience i had with maia, but the good thing with having a 2nd one i wouldnt need to buy as much as we will have maia's things good luck ttc everyone ------------- ]http://www.pregnology.com/preggoticker2/777777/000000/My%20pregnancy/08/25/2010.png[/IMG] |

Yah exciting
Ive also been trying for a sibling for Taylah. Im hoping this month will be the one lol I want a girl too. It will save so much money in the long run. For all the other people also TTC #2 when there first is also young, are you going to buy a double pram or a toddler seat??? -------------

I have been thinking the same taylah's mum but because my daughter is 2 and she walk on her own most of the time and she would almost be 3 when next one comes along fingers crossed i was thinking there wouldnt be much point and if so she can be in pram and i have front pack for new one..the annoying thing is with my pram you cant get a toddler seat for it... which means i would have to sell pram and buy another one. ------------- ]http://www.pregnology.com/preggoticker2/777777/000000/My%20pregnancy/08/25/2010.png[/IMG] |

I would have the same problem. You could look into getting one of those boards you attach to pram.
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Prams-strollers/Accessories/Other/auction-254624925.htm - Like this one Either way i would need to buy a new pram. With toddler seat or a double one.I think id get the Phil & Teds, but im looking at $700 + for one of those  -------------
