Question about a second...

I didn't really want another,but my husband wanted one,it would be his first biological child. I told one of my coworkers about not wanting another, but she said if you and your husband are gone, your daughter will be alone. Then it got me thinking. And now I can't imagine our lives without my son. ? now i tell my husband when we are old and gray, im gonna live with our son ???

I second @pp. The baby stage is so crazy, it’s hard to imagine going through it again before you’re out of it. Not to mention I think dads have a fear they won’t love their second as much as they love their first (moms do too!). We got pregnant with a surprise baby when my first was 4.5 months old, and as my first son got older we got more and more excited about watching our second son hit those same milestones. After baby #2 showed up it became clear you just love them differently, not less or more. Give it some time and I bet he’ll come around, but don’t stress out. There’s a lot of time!

My parents split when I was little so I'm an only child. I didn't mind as much as a kid but now as a 30 year old I hate it. I grew up 10 minutes away from my cousins so I didn't feel so lonely. I'm a shy and socially awkward person...ugh...so I have a hard time with friends. So I knew if I ever had kids I'd want more than one. My 2.5 year old was and still is super easy, which also made us nervous for a second. So far she's also fairly easy, not as much as her brother, but easy compared to most babies. So two good babies can happen! We wait until our son was about 1.5 to try again. Give your husband time and maybe he'll come around.

This baby has definitely taken a toll on my husband. I think that if I didn't definitely want more kids, he'd be okay with just having one child. He's already agreed to try for another baby after a year, and I'm going to hold him to it!

My dh said the same thing. He didn’t want another one until my first turned one. We have a 4 mo old girl and omg he is so smitten!!! ? he loves her so much it’s super adorable. Give it Time. I grew up with 3 sisters and I couldn’t see my son without a sibling. We have two kids and we are done! I mainly just wanted my first to have someone to play with a bond like I do with my sisters. I believe this is what you want too. Maybe address this later when your baby sleeps better and is more playful.

It's super hard to want another one right now, for some people . Baby fever usually hits hard when they turn one, then again when they turn two. At least in my experience. ?

Y’all are def still “in it” with an infant. It’s a hard transition going from 0 to 1. Give your husband some time. You may see he changes his mind at around 2-3yrs (or sooner). ?
