To ask DH about another baby?

DH and I already have a DS together. About 18 months ago we finally got to a place where we felt ready for another baby, emotionally, financially, etc. We didn't put any timeline on it but pretty much agreed that 'within the next year' we would start trying for another baby.

About a year ago now, for around 6 months, DH suffered with a period of depression and pushed me away completely, meaning that our relationship almost fell apart. He has been back to his usual self now for at least months and things are back to normal and going great, however, i don't know how to bring the subject of another baby up again. I jokingly mentioned it in passing the other day and he acted like it was still on the table but i just don't want to be too confronting with it all....

Any advice much appreciated.

was there a reason for the specific period of depression or is it something likely to be a problem again?

Peeblet I don't think so as it was job related and he is no longer in that specific job. I would never consider it if i thought that would happen again.

Then I would ask seeing your response there, as you say he did not shy away from the idea.
