Anyone planning on TTC this summer!?

We're planning on TTC our second this summer and I'm already starting to get a little obsessed and impatient waiting to start! We can't start earlier for financial/practical/health reasons, but wondered if anyone is in the same boat! 🥰

Eek it really feels like the prep starts now I think! My daughter is 27 months, and I also have two step children almost 7 and 9. The main reason we wanted to wait a little longer than we probably would have ideally would is for the older two to get slightly older! So if we got pregnant quickly (like last time) they would be 3, 8 and 10 which feels kiiiiiiiind of ok! My friends just had her second when her first was 22months and it's been tricky but she's mainly found that the newborn just slots around the firsts routine so it's been manageable!

The thought of sleepless nights again terrifies me, and my daughter still fights bedtime so I feel like we have a year for that to resolve, and potty train! 😂 x

Yes fingers crossed TTC for our second as well but I need to lose weight first and it's not going well!

I’m seriously thinking about it! It feels completely insane as we’ve just got back on a bit more of an even keel but I think if we leave it too long it’ll be hard to go back to the newborn stage. DD is just one now, so thinking of TTC number 2 when she’s around 18m. DD was a wonderful surprise after throwing caution to the wind once(!) so I feel like we have to be really ready before we start trying as if that’s anything to go by I’m guessing it won’t take long. What would your age gap be?
