I'm 24, my partner is 32 and our little girl has just turned 2. I always thought that one child would be enough, my partner and I were together 4 years before I finally convinced him to have a baby and now I have opened the floodgates!! He wants to keep having more now he has realised how amazing it is with our LG. I am one of 5 and at Christmas I realised how lovely it is to get together with siblings and reminisce etc so decided that I definitely don't want our baby to be an only child. I just don't know whether the best idea is to keep the ball rolling or leave a big age gap? We both work full time, my Grandma is our child minder and she is amazing, we make the most of our mornings/evenings/weekends and although we would obviously like more time as a family our life does work well. Apart from the obvious stress of getting ourselves and a 2 year old ready for the day, running a newly bought house and trying to have some time together. We recently decided to start trying for baby #2 but then a friend (of 2 children) put the frighteners on and totally warned me off the idea. My partners theory is 'in for a penny, in for a pound' we're manic busy with one child plus life so why not have more? But I am totally freaked out now. I know 100% that I don't want our girl to be an only child but I always thought I'd want a close age gap. But work is going really well at the mo, I am a manager and everything is on the up so don't want to rock the boat by taking mat leave (plus have a house to pay for so need a good job) but do I want to leave a huge gap and then have another baby just as I have gotten used to having a child out of nappies etc. I love my little girl and do not get me wrong, she was planned and I completely love my life but can't decide on what to do next. Have another baby now, later or never?! Sorry for the twenty page essay but I'm completely confused!!
