Hi everyone i have been a member here for quite some time but i havent been able to post since i moved from my mom's house were the computer was, but now i got my own so ill be here all the time.
Well anyways let me give yall a little background of myself.
My name is Nicole i am 20 years old i have a 23 month old little boy named Jaivon i got pregnant with him when i was 17 i left his father when i found out i was pregnant because i seen what kind of person he was when i got pregnant him and his family wanted me to have an abortion, so i cut them off from my life and decided to do what was best for me and my baby well i graduated 5 months pregnant i gave birth to him on November 1st 2003.Wow what an experience!So anyways i lived at my mothers house for his first year i was lucky enough to be able to stay home with him until he turned 1.During that time i lived at my moms house i had hooked up with a good friend of mine whom i have known since i was about 10 and we have been dating ever since.It has been almost a year now since we got together, he is wonderful father to my son, he has done so much for him in the past year, its amozing how someone could love a child the way he does and isnt even his biological father.
Well anyways over the past few months we have been talking about having another child,he really wants me to get pregnant he is always talking about how our child is to so beautiful and so on.I would love to have another child especially with him because i know he would be great father, he is raising my son and he is great at it,im just worried about my son because he is potty training now, sleeping in his own room on his own bed, just growing up and i am not sure if having another one now would be to soon.I need some opinions how long did some of yous wait to have your 2nd child. I know my son would love to have a little brother or sister maybe not right away cuz he is a mommy's boy.But i know he would be good.Well imma go hopefully some of you guys will have some advice for me.Sorry about the long story book i wrote but i just want everyone to know my exact situation.Thanks,
Nicole

Are you two considering marriage first? Maybe u should get married, and be as prepared as possible before getting pregnant... but as far as ure son goes.. i think that he would be fine if u had another baby.. its better to have them close in age... in my opinion anyways. My daughters are 18 months apart.. my oldest was never jealous or anything.. and they are very close. So if u r sure u want another baby now, then go for it.. but it may be best to be married first... Good Luck!

P.S.. It will be hard the first few months... since u would be catering to an infant and a toddler.

I have to be honest I don't understand this at all.
You have already had one child being single why would you want another out of wedlock? Now I realize I am from the old school but have things changed that much?
Get married and start a solid life together then if things fall into place have another baby.
Good luck.

What kind of commitment stands between the two of you? Are you living together now? Sharing the daily responsibilities and costs of everything?

You are very young and so is your son and this relationship.
Why rush having another baby? Why not enjoy your first and see where this relationship builds. The cost of two in diapers, one on formula, and to in daycare is something else to consider.
