Or not....lol
"Do you want more kids?"
"When are you having another one?"
"You know you don't wanna have them too far apart, right?!"
Oh the pressure to have another child! As the months lead up to Dreux's 3rd birthday, these are the questions I have been getting. A mother of two?? It SOUNDS intimidating. What do I do with two kids? I barely make it to work on time with the one I have now! Before I became a mother, I always said I didn't want my children to be too far apart in age. Two-three years was the max for me. And definetely no more than three kids. My sister and I are about four and a half years apart and I've always felt there was such a huge gap between us. We didn't really start liking each other until I went away to college (LOL). Now, at 26 and her a few months shy of 22, we get along great! But the years leading up were a bit rough. I didn't want that for my kids. I always wished my sister and I were a bit closer in age. However, these last three years of Dreux's life have flown by and having another child wasn't even on the horizon! But with all the questions about me having another one, I've definelty been giving it some thought! If I stick to my original plan, I should be popping one out soon!
When should we have another one? How do I plan for a second...we didn't necessarily plan for the first. :) Two kids means double everything! And double tuition just doesn't sound all that appealing to me! But I guess it would be nice for Dreux to have a sibling and stop claiming the ones at school. Her "sister" at school is actually about to become a big sister as her mom is expecting another one in a few months. But am I ready for that responsibility? Will my car even fit two car seats? How do you balance a toddler and an infant? My center of gravity just doesn't seem equipped for that. In all honestly though, when is a good time to start "trying" for another? Should we purchase our home first? Wait until Dreux is in kindergarten? Or do I wait until I'm more established in my career? It will probably never be the "right" time given all things to consider. I guess you just go for it and pray for the best? Right? I don't know, but I can tell you this Mommie needs to wait a little while longer. Play dates will just have to suffice until we can give Dreux a sibling lol Sorry guys, but baby number two is not on the way, just yet.
