I often wondered about when the right time for #2 would be. I most definitely didn't want them closer than 2 years apart. I breathed a sigh of relief when Logan hit the age that if I had accidentally gotten pregnant then they would be 2 years apart. But even 2 years was too close for my comfort. My son and I are really attached and he is very high needs. I didn't feel it would be fair to him to take away the needed attention at that age. I still wonder every day if I made the right decision by getting pregnant now. He'll be 3 years and 3 months when #2 arrives. I just hope that it is enough time. I guess I looked at it as a risk/benefit situation. I think the benefits of having a sibling 3 years apart is worth it to me right now especially since I have to take my health and childbearing ability into consideration. I even expressed these concerns to my midwife and she said that siblings usually step up to the plate and mature when the next one arrives. I really hope so.

My SIL is due with #2 when her son will have just turned 2 and she is pretty freaked out by it. It wasn't planned at all. I think she has good days and bad days as far as what will happen. It also doesn't help that her son is a little delayed due to being a preemie and and who knows what else (I think he'll be normal and fine, just taking longer to reach his milestones). I guess in my mind I feel that anything closer than 2 years isn't all that fair to the children. They really need your attention those first few years. I know that lots of people disagree with that, but its how I feel. For my personal situation when I look at my son's personality I think anything closer than 3 years would have been too close.

Despite the fact that I didn't want close spacing with my kids, it didn't eliminate the baby fever. I have been having baby fever since my son was about 18 months old The rational part of me thought I was crazy but I focused the obsession by planning and right before he turned 2 I started charting again so that the moment we decided to try for #2 I would be prepared and familiar with my cycles again. In fact charting is what helped me realize that I had a luteal phase defect and needed the progesterone. Charting helped keep the obsession at bay by giving me something to do. Anyway I've rambled on long enough.

Oh I know you were asking Anne about her first trimester symptoms but I have to say that I am having NO symptoms except occasional tiredness and breast tenderness while I do the vest. It is kinda freaking me out considering I had bad nausea from about 5-11 weeks with Logan. I have been wondering why it is so different this time and my only hypothesis is that since I'm low in progesterone and taking the progesterone supplements as a suppository, I'm not getting sick. Progesterone suppositories concentrate the prog where it is needed - in the endometrial lining. It doesn't raise your blood levels as much which may be why I'm not sick. Who knows - either way I hope its not a bad sign. I'm having an ultrasound next week to confirm there is something growing in there.

she's still baking <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> hoepfully she bakes for at least four more weeks. i go to my regular ob today, i'm anxious to see what he says and does since her little episode on monday.

i'm wondering if they will do another ultrasound or stress test to check on her heart rate. also they said i was hving contractions, i wonder if those were the real contractions or just braxton hicks.

i'm also having a lot of lower back pain, my doctor starts examining at 36 weeks, but i wonder if he will check me sooner since all of this is going on. i know you can refuse the exam, but i'm kind of wondering how things are progressing.

i'm excited. i can't wait. about the second child, we will have to see how this one works out, but i plan on having mine at least two years apart if we have another, but no more than 3 1/2. i think i can only handle one in diapers at a time <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
