A 2nd baby scares me to death!

I think one thing that we had to keep reminding ourselves of, is the baby wouldn't be here for another 9 months or more, depending on how long it took to conceive, and how different things would be then. So when DS was only 9 mths or 12 mths, there's no way I could have thrown another bub into the mix right then, but I kept reminding myself that DS would be nearly 2 or more by the time the baby came, and life would be very different.

It's a bit like right now I couldn't have 3, but in a years time, DS will be at preschool 2 days a week, and DD would be 2, the dynamic of the house would be sooo different to what it is now. So to have a bub in a year's time means we need to get cracking with TTC in the next few months!

I also don't really 'get' the whole giving the first baby all that exclusive attention.. what about the poor siblings? They have to share your attention from day 1! I don't believe that the first sibling is deprived of time & development, it's not like you ignore them just coz there's a baby in the house lol.
