my #1 is 3yrs and 9mths, my #2 is coming to 10mths. i agree its not a
easy decision when comes to deciding to try or not to try for #2,
especially everyone has been enjoying the routine and our 1st born are
so much easier to take care of as compare to when they were still
infant.

the tot of routine being mess up, having to take care of a newborn
all over again, the future logistic… kind of scary and dreadful ya?

but still we went ahead to try for our #2 and bingo he arrived into
our little family. its challenging, its crazy, its so tired but all
worth it!

when you are ready, you are ready to face all the challenges ahead.
=)

cheers
Rachel

The first few years are going to be extra challending with 2 kiddos. I admire your courage to have your second baby. I will work on building up my courage before I really "try" it. Anyway, age is catching up too. That's another concern. Haha! Hi Mico,

But thinking of letting my missy all alone when we grow old, we decide to take the challenge another time. We love her too much that we always think of what's best for her, including a little sibling for companion. ironic huh. last time my mum is fit to look after my missy, now she is not, so i already follow the flow by putting her to childcare and next bb will be to nanny. It's just these few years that's a bit difficult, after they are 5 or so, things will be easier. just make the right choice on the caretaker and spend as much time with them. The best we can do, as working parents :) Hope you make your right choice. haa.. dilemma i went through too.
