A funny thing

[Athena-Nadine]

You know, I was reading through the threads here, and I realized that I'm a little jealous of you all! Robert is only 3 1/2 months old and I'm not ready to start trying for his sibling yet, but I miss being pregnant!

I miss the anticipation, the excitement, the kicking and rolling and hiccups. I miss watching my belly grow, knowing that he was growing too. I miss having him all to myself and not having to share him. I even find myself missing maternity clothes and walking by the stores looking at them when I'm in the mall! :lol:

LOL well, I'm jealous in a different way.

I want to be pregnant already! But we have to wait, there are many things to do before we can pave the way for a little one.

I think it is like the empty nest syndrome..sorta. I also felt that after I had my daughter..I think its the constant physical bond and such. I think also after a while it fades and you focus all on the new little one..after all each day they learn and grow..you miss that and then you really miss being pregnant and them being babies!!

:awilly:

I can't imagine getting pregnant when my son was 3 1/2 months old... but its cool that you feel that way. :) You're much braver than I am to want another one so soon!

[Athena-Nadine]

That's the thing. I don't want another now. I don't even know if I want a second child at all. I'm quite content with Robert and really feel no need for another baby.

Hmm...

Maybe that's why I sudenly feel this way? Maybe it's just a biological response to not being sure about more children and still adjusting to not being pregnant. All I know is that when I was pregnant I was going crazy at how long it all took, but now I kind of miss the feelings involved. :lol:

Well, if its any consoloation... we didn't know if we wanted another child or not... and had actually pretty much decided on the not... but, here we are. :boing:

I think if we had waited longer (well, or things had worked like they were supposed to!) we probably wouldn't have had a 2nd.

A couple of girls at work had babies a couple of months after I had my son... and I remember thinking that I might never hold a baby that tiny again, etc etc... and it made me kind of -wistful I guess. So, you're probably right that your feelings are coming from a combination of the two thoughts. :D

I definitely want a second child. well 3rd child now..but we waited a couple years to try again,and after Olivia..coming home empty handed.. I REALLY wanted a child then.. I worked very hard and did so well with the 2nd,but had nothing to show for it..Im very happy to be pregnant again and hoping everything goes well this time. Although i still wonder how it's goign to be with 2 child, I am eager to have the opportunity. :)
Enjoy Robert now,watch him grow and all the new things he'll do.. we didnt start trying again until hannah about 2 1/2..and concieved olivia a couple weeks before hannahs 3rd birthday. she'll be almost 4 1/2 by time this baby is born.
I think it's natural to want another baby, even though you know your not ready now.. Give it a year or so,and re think about it.. I would just enjoy the baby you have,because before you know he'll be 3-4 years old and you'll say,where did the time go?? I certainly am with hannah!

I'm so glad I'm not alone feeling this way! LOL! Except with me its a little different. My kids are 9 and 13 (soon to be 10 & 14). I know someone who's expecting and I'm looking forward to having a baby to dote on but I'm also looking forward to giving it back. LOL! I LOVE babies and I absolutely ADORED being pregnant....but I dont think I could handle the feedings every couple of hours again. I think what I'm jealous of is the excitement. I feel like an old married lady.....just celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary and in September it will be 15 years that we've been together. I guess I have to live vicariously through her excitement, huh? *giggle* Chesna, maybe your right. Maybe its kinda the empty nest syndrome. Or I'm having an early mid life crisis. ROFLMAO!
