I dont know if i am alone, but I go through these baby phases. I have a 2 and a 3 year old. My 2 year old is still in diapers, and I knwo for sure i do not want 2 kids in diapers at once again. but i watch bringing home baby, and i always look at baby clothes, and baby stuff, i am happy with my kids, but i loved being pregnant, it was the best time of my life both times, all the perks, even the downfall. I have 2 girls, and my husband and i both want a son, I am not asking anybody if I should wait, just if other moms go hrough this, my husband is not ready, though he always plays with me, and says little things like, your pregnant, i just got you pregnant, and be carteful with my baby. IDK, maybe its a phase, and it will pass, but just wanted to talk about it. Also my girls loves babies, they pretend they are mommies all day long, and my 3 year old even says she wants a baby brother. maybe i shall remove my mirena and get prego in March, after my vaca :)

What can I do next?

I loved being pregnant too. It is truly a miracle. However, once I realized I cannot always be pregnant and this feeling might return after I had another baby, I learned to take joy in my children as they grow. I also learned to love a new found sense of independence both for myself and children. And most importantly I realized I wanted to concentrate all my love on the 2 children I currently have. All the feelings you are having are TOTALLY normal and you may not be completely done having children, but I would work really hard on capturing the moment and enjoying what you have now and if the notion of a baby persists then it might be time. You will be thankful down the road that your children ages are spaced out a bit more. And who knows a baby boy may never be in your future. I have always said God is the real Santa in Life.

You're not alone. My oldest was only days old when I started thinking about having more kids. I now have 4, ages 1, 2 1/2, 6 1/2 and one that will be 5 in a couple of weeks. I literally have been changing diapers for the past 6 1/2 years. I thought I would "feel" done but I don't and want more. I also have the mirena but I'm having issues w/ it and thinking of removing it. Good luck! :)

I go through this everytime i see a pregnant woman. I love my son and am very happy with him but I too LOVED being pregnant. It does go away a little but it sounds like you and your family are well prepared for march. ;)

I am the same way - I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old, and I get horrible cases of "baby fever." It gets better for a while, then it hits hard once again! My biggest fear is that when we have another baby it will come back again! (We are 95% sure we will be done with 3!)

I'm glad to know there are others that feel the same way!

You are not alone! I have a 3 year-old and a 1 year-old, and I get a little jealous of my pregnant friends. I loved being pregnant and having a small baby. Sometimes I think I would have done well in a culture where women were expected to pop out baby after baby. My husband wants to stop at 2, but I'm trying to convince him for just one more.

You are definitely NOT alone. I have a 22 month old dd and desperately want another child. My biological clock is also ticking, though. I am almost 40 so I have been contemplating a new baby as well.
My only concern is that my dd is a demanding toddler in her terrible two's. LOL. She isn't too bad, but I am not sure how another child would work. We would have to make it if it happens.
Good luck on your decision.
