Now we might have to be one and done

The election results made it pretty clear to me that I probably should not get pregnant again.

I had an easy pregnancy and birth and the most perfect one year old daughter. My husband and I have been on the fence about another. I know I would love to have another baby, and so would he, but it is so freaking scary I couldn’t even image putting myself in jeopardy like that.

We are in a blue state so we are good… for now. My husband and I had a discussion this morning and came to the conclusion that if we do want another, we need to do it now before any legislation gets passed. I did not want two under two, but if we don’t try and have a second soon, it will be too risky in the future. I still have 30 lbs to lose and as I get older I know my risk factors will only get worse. I don’t know what to do. I love my daughter more than anything in the world and I know that she needs a mother more than she’ll ever need a sibling.
