it really depends on when you are ready, i would wait until at least when the first is around 9 mths old, then theres a good age gap inbetween and you first should be a little bit more independent by the time the 2nd baby is born.

there is 10 months between my first two (i concieved when my first was 6 weeks old) for me that was the perfect time as my 1st was too young to know what was realy happening so there was no jealousy and she wasn't walking yet so i found it very easy.

It will be even harder for your wife to be alone with two babies. I don't think you should even be thinking of having anymore yet. Concentrate on the one you have Very Happy He or she needs lots of attention.

ok as i told trevor before, i dont want to have another right away, i never said that

i wanted to start trying when she is 6 monthes or when trevor gets back, which ever comes later

the reason for this is, i know it can take up to a year for a healthy fertile couple to get pregnant, and i dont really want them to be more then 2 years apart, plus i dont know how long ill be able to have kids

also trevor is getting shore duty, so he wont be going out like this for a while

ps, i can take care of 2 little ones on my own, i do, i take care of valkyrie and another baby named dallas (i have him almost constantly) plus i have my mums help when hes gone

I tink it would be best to get yourselves on track with things first (ie;things you need) before even thinking about having another child. It sounds like ALicia is having a hard enough time as it is.

they say that it takes a couple up to a year, when we decided on a 2nd child and stopped birth control i got pregnant immediately. so keep that in mind too when deciding the timing, when your ready to be pregnant possibly right when u decide to try, we thought that too about it taking a healthy couple up to a year so thats why we started trying and it happened alot faster then we thought.
