5.5-6 year age gap
I’ve been on the fence for over a year now. I have a wonderful 4.5 year old who is such a fun little guy. Some days I’m fine with OAD, but other times I feel sad that he’s an only. Pregnancy was easy for me, but I was absolutely miserable during those first 4 months and he was a pretty easy baby. The baby blues hit me so hard. Its made me hesitant to have another. I was (or thought I was) ready for another last year, but a friend had just had her second and was miserable. Clingy baby, not sleeping, feeding issues. It made me pause and just take a whole step back. Now I’m still sitting on this fence at 38 wondering if I waited too long or if I really even want another. My kiddo would be the best big brother, but the 5.5+ age gap makes me wonder if it would be good for him. They’re going to be at different phases throughout childhood. I’m not sure I want to go back to that diaper phase, but I always pictured 2 kids. It makes me feel sad about only having one- but I’m not sure which path is right for me. I feel like its now or never….
