    I felt like that when ds was that age. Not now! We have had a few hard months with teeth, illness, sleep etc etc. At one point i was wanting to get my tubes tied lol. We have decided to put our number two plans on hold a little bit (were going to try when ds was 12 months which is less that a month away) as i cant fathom the thought of two under two.

    I think for a lot of people it's a hormonal feeling. I know I felt the same way too and in fact felt it after Elijah also even though I swore he was to be my last the whole way through my pregnancy. Now, I'm back to feeling he's my last but I did go through a period of time where I was oh I want another one... I reckon lack of sleep tricks our brains lol.

    I felt like that for a few months after DS was born (I agree, I think it was hormonal LOL, and I had a great but fast birth and wanted to experience it all again) but atm I couldn't even imagine it, if we are lucky enough to have another (DS was IVF), I think DS will be 2-3 before we even consider it - unless a natural miracle occurs in the interim

    I felt like that too, at about the same age. I think its hormonal

    At the moment, actually since about 8 months, we've been thinking maybe we only want one... lol dunno if thats hormonal hahahaha. We've decidied to talk about it in 2011 hahahahaha
