I posted about a week ago and got some good feedback - I have had another few thoughts and just wanted a sounding board! Re: my previous post, my husband would prefer only one kid (we have an 11 month old girl), I'm planning to start medical school in a few years (hopefully) and our life right now has incredible balance. He's game to have another if I really want one, so the decision rests with me. I see many pros/cons to both, but definitely do often feel a pull to have another baby, do the baby thing again and expand our family and foster a sibling relationship for my girl. On the other hand, I LOVE our life and neither of us have siblings we are close to for a model relationship. In fact, my sibling has been a detriment growing up. We've had a lot of friends who have had babies recently who have had health issues - meningitis, measles exposures, birth trauma, etc. I'm having a hard time separating out reasonable concerns (healthy baby, balancing priorities) with fear, because we don't want to make a fear based decision. Just looking for some input on factoring in how much worse life could get/AKA the dice roll. . . is this just my anxiety or am I onto something, stopping while I'm ahead? TIA!
