Your babies are so cute! and a question

May 7, 2003

Pzaz, as far as spacing, that is really a very individual decision.

Before I had kids I always said I wanted about 4 years between them.

Well, after I had my dd, I was ready to do it again immediately. I

know I'm crazy....I saw the post from Sheila that definitely agreed

to that fact. lol...although who's the one who just came home with

her fertility drugs???? lol Anyway, I got pg again when my dd was

just 4 months old. They will be just 13 months apart, if we're lucky.

(my dr has already told me that I won't go to my due date)

Even though this was planned and we couldn't be happier about our

second little bundle of joy, I don't recommend having them that close

together. My OB recommends at least 6 months...I never was good at

listening. lol I'm so much more exhausted with this pg than with my

dd. And it's because I don't have the time to take naps when I need

to. Although you have to remember that it's just a drop in the pan

compared to the big picture. Something that won't even cross my mind

in a couple years. There are plusses and minuses to close spacing and

far spacing. Like I said before, it's a very personal decision.

I guess part (a small part) of my decision to go ahead and have our

second so soon was that I do want to have my abdominoplasty soon. And

I knew that I needed to be sure I was done having kids to get the

best result in that area.

Anyway, enough rambling. Please keep us posted on what you decide.

Babies are so fun!!

> I finally had a chance to look at the photos in the photos

section. The babies are so cute I can't stand it! I have a question

about spacing. What is everyone's opinion regarding how long you

should wait between babies. I am 33 and I would like to be finished

with having my kids around 35. I am leaning towards having my baby

before I do the plastic surgery because of this. I have a coworker

whose first child was born in January and her second child was born

in December of the same year! I can't do that! I'm thinking about a

year. What do you guys think? Pzaz
