Does the feeling of wanting another baby pass?
The feeling of wanting another baby never really passes, but reality usually overrides that twinge in the heart. I have two children. When my kids were babies, when they did something cute, like when they first smiled, first laughed, first walked, I thought “I’d like another 10 of these please!” But when those same adorable babies were screaming at 4 am and I’ve got baby vomit caked in my hair, I thought, “I am SO done having kids!” Now, with my children 5 and 8, I still LOVE LOVE LOVE babies. And everytime I see one, I think about having another. Sure, I’d love to have another baby, BUT I really don’t want anymore kids, if that makes any sense to you. The baby will grow up, and you will again be baby-less. The reality, my reality, is that if I had more than two, then I’d have to get a different vehicle, I’d need a larger house, I’d need 3/4 million for their college rather than 1/2 million, and the list goes on. The problem with having another baby is that they grow, and then you have
That feeling comes and goes with me. I had my daughter 6 months ago and the feeling was very strong right after I had her. It went away for a while then came back. Right now I feel like I don’t want another one YET because I am loving my sleep too much. Ava sleeps 11 hours through the night compared to the first 3 months where she didn’t sleep longer than 30 minutes at a time. I have other priorities to fill before I have my second. I want to get married to my fiance- get a full time, secure job, be financially stable, and of course, lose the rest of the baby weight before I put on another 30-40 lbs with my next pregnancy lol. I am only 21 so I am in no rush for another baby yet. You are only 23 yourself, wait until you AND your partner are ready. It is not something to “talk” him into but for him to truely want himself.
