I'm 23 years old and am a mom of a 16 month old girl. My husband is working full time but I'm still trying to finish up college. It's taken me a while because I needed time off when my girl was born but I'm determined to finish. My husband and I are working toward buying our first home, but I don't want to wait too long to have baby #2. I want my children to be close in age and I'm only planning on having 2. Does it seem logical to get pregnant again soon??

Hey, everyone has their own reasons for wanting to get pregnant again soon or later. My husband and I just had our first child in March (she is a little over 5 months old) and aunt flow just cam back. We has always talked about wanting 2 close together. So, as of now, we are trying again. We are also military so that has a little to do with it, insurance wise.
For me, I am not sure I would want one out of diapers and potty trained and then have to start that all over again down the line.
Plus, if they are close together, you are ideally giving your first daughter her best friend.
:) Feel free to message me if you want to talk.

Hi thanks for the reply! What you were saying about giving my daughter her first best friend is exactly what I've always wanted whenever I thought about having kids. I'm just worried about school because I'm so determined to finish, but I think I could make it happen :) What part of San Diego are you from?

my boys are 3.5 years apart and I couldn't imagine them being any closer! My first is so helpful and it is nice that I never had to deal with jealousy issues. He was also completely potty trained and it was nice not to have to buy 2 sets of diapers!
My first is 4.5 and my baby will be 1 next month
