Anh is "late." Her energy level is lower than normal, and she said she's experienced some slight nausea lately. We had said that we'd want about 3 years between kids, and if this is it, then we'd be looking at about 2 years 9 months between Peter and Number Two.
The timing feels oddly right. Peter's been getting more independent and while I don't want to say it's been easy with him, it has been at least easier now than at any time before. He loves to be the center of attention, so it will be interesting to see how he's act with a baby brother or sister. We've asked him if he wants a baby, and at first he simply said no. Now he'll just say "fra fra." I don't know if he's changing the subject or simply letting us know that he'd rather have a train than a baby, but he has been very good with children younger than him. So I think he'll be superficially upset, but that shouldn't last long. Besides, he adapts to new things really well.
We have experience in having a baby, so it's not like we haven't gone down this road before. Then again, we didn't have to raise a toddler the last time - but Peter is a very well behaved kid even when he's feeling naughty, so I'm not worried about that. I've heard that the second pregnancy is a lot easier than the first. I've also heard the opposite, so I'm going to go with the idea that each pregnancy is different. I just hope the end stage is more routine and boring than the last time.
And I must say that it's more difficult than last time to keep this quiet. It's exciting and I want to run around saying "Hey everyone, guess what!!!" But we gotta keep quiet for now. We don't even have confirmation of anything yet.
