My son is 6.5 months old. Am I the only one crazy enough to want another baby now? I know I have to wait until, at least, March so I can maximize on my maternity leave now, and get the bare minimum 600 hours for EI again.
How am I going to convince my DH? I do most of the work with our little one now anyway. I am playing the "we're not getting any younger" card LOL.
Who else is thinking about more babies?
Our little one is 9 months and we are thinking of having another one soon. We are thinking about trying in April, when Christian turns 1. This way I have 9 months at work, enough time to replenish the savings account b.c the max EI payments are a joke.
When talking to a lot of women at work, some with 2 and some with 3 kids, they all said it was a good idea to have the kids close together. This way they will play with each other, you will finish with diapers all at once, and when you have to take them to soccer/hockey/swimming/whatever they are all around the same age and you can do it at one shot.
Mine was the same story! I wanted to have my kids close in age, so when my daughter was about 15-16 months, I thought this is just the right time to have another kid and I got pregnant - low behold, what do I find out at my first ultrasound - I am going to have twins. Gees! it was a shock in every sense - financially, time-wise, family dynamics.
It's hard to have a toddler and twins but I am managing very well with the help of my dear mother. None the less it's a LOT OF WORK!
