My guys are 4 and 6 – and we have #3 on the way – the babylust won.

My boys are 15 months apart and boy was it crazy when they were babies- such a whirlwind, such busyness. Now, they are 5 and almost 4- getting so independent, fighting all the time- but absolutely the best buddies. Makes for a pretty special bond!

For some reason, I thought I’d want to have my second when my first was about 2. Just realized last week, that means getting pregnant this fall. As in like 2 months from now. Not happening. But I had a scare last week and I was really freaking out about it like, how am I going to do this??? This post is so sweet, it’s like, you just do. Because you love them.

I’m pregnant with #2 – 3rd trimester and have a 3 year-old at home. I couldn’t imagine doing this when the 3 year old was 18 months. I now need another helping of food and a nap just thinking about it.

It’s amazing what baby lust will have us do. But damn if it ain’t worth it, beautiful boys!

I too am at the HELL NO stage, although my boys are 12 and 7. So I’ve been at that stage for quite a while. But I cannot imagine having them so close together. But having them far apart is no picnic either. I remember when my second was born thinking, “What have I done? Kid number 1 is 5 years old, and pretty much self-sufficient! Now I’ve got to do it all over again???”

That’s the sweetest picture!!

My sister and I are 22 months apart, and while that has been awesome, BOTH of us, when our kids got to the age I was when my mom got pregnant with her (WHAT? Can you even FOLLOW this sentence?), were like, OH HELL NO on the thought of a second pregnancy. I still can’t believe that SO MANY PEOPLE are willing and able to do it that way. Whoa. Near-deadly combination of life’s blessing is right. (GENIUS, BTW).

I’m Done with the “you will miss your teeny wittle babieeees!” thing. My kid keeps getting older, and older, and so far I can’t help but notice that I DO NOT MISS IT AT ALL, YEP I’M SURE.

Sweet Jesus! I am almost right where you were. We are 5 1/2 months pregnant and have an almost 2 1/2 year old; we also tried for several months to get pregnant with baby #2. My problem is that my husband works out of town during the week so I’m by myself doing day-to-day life. This is so hard!! But, if the payoff will be a picture just like the one you took, I think I can survive this.

Oh my gosh… I love that picture. i need to try and recreate it with my own boys. hahahahaha…. thud… sorry just fell off my chair laughing at that idea, since my 4yo doesn’t even like to be in the same room with his little brother, let alone walk together with him holding hands. Funny, I am…

But I’m with on watching them grow up. That’s my favorite part of being a mom and why I had kids in the first place. I’m not so big on the tiny babies and I abhored being pregnant (means to an end, baby, means to an end). But I do love watching them turn into little people and bigger little people…
