So My Hubby and i have been planning a baby and he has said he wants to try for a baby now and Our son just turned 2 this month so im kinda hesitant because my son's a lil bit of a handful now and not yet potty trained..I LOVE the idea of another baby but my hubby has said 3 times now that we should do it now and i wanted to at least next year...since im going to be the one at home with them its kinda a hard decision...

Kind of sounds like my situation! We wanted more children but I was hesitant because our daughter is one tough cookie and of course not potty trained. Yet every child is different, and the way I looked at it is, my daughter is tough but this next child could be smooth sailing. If this next one is tough then I'm at least seasoned with my 1st daughter right? And kids potty train at different ages so don't base your decision on that alone, plus bringing a baby into the mix revert the potty trained child back into having accidents because they see their sibling in diapers. I'm not saying all, but it does happen!
Needless to say we decided it was the right decision because we wanted our children close in age and right now as we speak my daughter is almost 2 1/2 and I'm 28wks pregnant with another little girl! Don't get my wrong, I'm scared as heck that this new baby could be tough like my 1st, but at least I'll know what to expect right? lol And I'm also a SAHM and a military wife so my daughter is quite attached to me!
All in all, your the one that needs to be ok with this decision. Have you expressed your concerns or worries with your husband about this? I wish you the best of luck and hope your able to come to a decision that best works for your family!!!!!!!
