    How will I know when I am ready?
    When do you know you are ready for another baby? I am not talking about the mundane stuff like finances, and work issues, that is already in order. I am trying to figure out how I will know when I am mentally and emotionally ready. I already find myself looking at the infant essentials, such as a new infant car seat, and baby swing (a must) and teeny tiny little baby booties. I have dreams where I find out that I am pregnant, and am happy about it. I can't stop thinking about having another little one, and yet, there is still this one thing holding me back, but I don't know what it is.

    Of course there is. He is completely on board with us having a second child but is waiting for me to decide that I am ready.

    Oh, I almost forgot. I am already a stay at home mom. Hubby supports the family. :)

    Someone's got baby fever I see. Can't blame you, especially this time of year.

    I think the only thing holding you back is nerves/self-doubt stemming from your need to be the perfect Mom for the next baby you have.
    Don't get me wrong, I admire your strive to be a perfect mother, it's encouraging. The only thing I think you could be doing differently is...

    Actually go and buy those teeny tiny little baby booties, and the must have baby swing...

    Oh and of course, conceive!

    I don't think the "man in the picture" question was out of line. We get unwed mothers who can't cope on the Board all the time.

    You mention all the reasons you want another child - financially can you provide for another child? That's a big "if." That's not a mundane question.

    If so, sounds like you are ready.
