If you're a mama with more than one child, was/were your other child(ren) planned? Surprise? What was your reaction? Did you feel that you were really ready for another LO? Did you have any doubts or concerns about raising another child (this could mean anything from finances, marital/relationship stability, emotional stability, etc). Sorry so many questions. I'm just interested in hearing some stories if you would like to share. Feel free to comment as little or as much as you would like.

Dd2 was planned. We tried for 13 months to get pregnant. Then had a miscarriage. Three months later, I was pregnant again :)
I was happy with both, just a little nervous. Never any doubts.
#3 was planned and we conceived the first month.
DS1 was unplanned. I wasn't even dating his father *hides*
DS2 was also unplanned. I personally think the ex poked holes in our condoms.
DS3 was planned:)
DS1 was planned and is 21 months younger than DD1
DD2 was not planned and I was so not ready for a 3rd. She is 14 months younger than DS1. My oldest was still 2 when she was born
DS2 was planned, but took three years to get pregnant.
I would like to have one more.
We planned both of our children. Well, we started 'trying' and knew when we conceived we would be ready. It took us about 8mos for our daughter and then for our son we conceived on the first try. They are 3.5yr apart, and we were married 4.5yr before having our first. It was something we discussed and wanted to make sure we were on the same page before doing.
