As a mother of 3 that are ages three and under (and were expecting #4 in 6 months, I can say that with very little extended family support and not much of a social network that we can rely on that having a baby #2 in your circumstance, I would think would not be as difficult as you may think. Now, all of my children have slept through the night since a week old (we breastfed), so I can’t relate to being sleep deprived from a newborn baby. Your family will adapt and adjust and your daughter would probably enjoy having a little buddy to play with and grow up with. Just do what ever feels right and comfortable to you. Have you spoke with your daughter about it to see what she thinks? Our two eldest are quite excited. Good luck with the decision you end up making!

I’m expecting baby #3 right now and baby #2 will only be 18 months when the new arrival comes. You will find a way to make it work. You know that you’ll never regret having that baby!

We just had our third baby and I take the advice that someone told me: “You’ll never regret the children you have, you’ll regret the children that you don’t.” This stuck with us and now have a newborn, a 2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. Yes it’s extremely busy but I would never go back to having just one…love all three of them! Remember it’s not about how much money you make, it’s about how much money you spend!

Go for it While it might seem overwhelming now, you have 9 months to prepare. Having my second child was one of the best decisions I’ve made!
