Yesssss. I am to the point where I want to be pregnant again, but still sane enough to remember that I don't want another kid. I'm the opposite. When thinking very very hard about it, it's pregnancy that is keeping me from having committing to a TTCA timeframe. I'm not sure there's a single thing about pregnancy I enjoy. Well, that and not wanting a pregnancy to be the reason for sleep/crib training or weaning M. That guilt would destroy me. Although I'm incredibly interested in knowing how differently I'll handle everything the next time around. Now that I know life isn't over if they cry for a minute. I always did my best from day one, but I know so much more now. IME the next kid will be easier. Different, for sure, but exactly like you said, you know what to expect. Making decisions, dealing with crying and illness, it's much less daunting.

I always did my best from day one, but I know so much more now. it's interesting because I know I would be a different parent for a hypothetical #3 too. And at the same time, become a different parent for the other two. You just hope that different means better.
