Baby fever creeping in again....

Sigh.... The baby is 11 month old today....only one month until his birthday. They grow up too fast. Too Mich time wasted on skid bull crap instead of enjoying every moment.

Baby fever is creeping in. Logically I know its nuts to want to add to this chaos....but I do. My soul can see a little girl who is meant to be my daughter. Maybe with the skids gone this summer I can convince dh....hes always happier when they are gone....

LOL. I'm pregnant with DH and my first child together. I have 3 bios and he has one, so we already have 4 kids and baby makes 5. We have all the kids most of the time.

I'm already thinking that I want baby girl (who will be here in July) to have a sibling close in age.

DH says "whatever you want"

But I know I'm crazy. Hormones make you do funny things.

I'm on my second, and son will be nearly 3 when she's born. However, as like you, spent too much time caring what Skids and BM thought about the fact partner had moved on and had another kid when son was in his first year. No way is that happening this time, I quite frankly could not give a shit about what they think anymore (more BM than the Skids).
Besides, it's better to have them close together and get it out the way Smile

I don't care what they think.....but just the time it takes every day dealing with them and their behavior.

I feel ya, peanut.. BS will be 2 on the 24th of this month and I would love, LOVE to have another. We have BS11, SD8, SS6, and BSSTB2, so your comment about 'adding to the chaos' totally applies in my situation, also. But I can't help it.. I love being a mommy and having little ones running amock, chaotic or not!

The only thing holding me back is finances.. I think it would be really irresponsible for DH and I to add to our financial responsibility right now. Sad

Bs3 turned 3 only a few weeks before we had the baby. The three yr age gap has been absolutely perfect. Big brother was old enough to understand and play by himself when needed and help....but not so old that they can't play. At almost 4 and almost 1 they absolutrlynlove playing together.....they are two peas in a pod.

I want the next one sooner though....so that bs3 will be able to develop a good bond with the new baby and not be so much older that they don't play together.

If we are being completely honest..... I really want twin girls. I even have their names all picked out, lol.

Its crazy how different parenting is to step parenting. My two kids are my absolute pride and joy....even at their worst they make me so happy. The skids on the other hand are nothing but a headache....even on the rare occasions they behave.

Aw, BS just turned 3 the end of December and I wish I wasn't 42 and had met DH a long time ago (thus eliminating the skid drama fest) because I would totally LOVE to have another baby. I know BS would love it too and would be a super awesome big brother. Sometimes I feel bad for him that he is essentially an only child (skids are much older and annoying and rarely around) and would love for him to have a live in playmate. Oh well.... DH actually feels the same way and actually mentioned maybe doing foster parenting, but I'm not sure I'm up for that... I suspect there can be a lot of drama that comes along with that and skid/BM drama is PLENTY!

I hear ya. DH and I have two boys BS2 and BS1. I'm a SAHM and it's tough work! But I'd love to have a little girl to add to it all. I'm so torn on this! I hate the thought that I'm "done" with babies, but know it would be so much work, and my luck, I'd end up with twin boys after this! (Not that I'd mind more boys...love them to pieces!)
