[quote=Anonymous]Hi dcurbanmom, would appreciate some of your collective wisdom in my situation. I’m a 35 year old FTM to a five month old. My husband and I want at least one, preferably two more children. However I’m not a high energy person and don’t do well with sleep deprivation. I’m feeling at 100% or more capacity with one baby so I’m wondering how I’ll be able to add another one or two to the mix- stretch out the age gap and don’t have another one until my current baby is older? Enlist paid help? Freeze embryos so I can have children older when there’s more of a manageable age gap?

Relevant facts: my husband works in biglaw with crazy hours so I’m basically single parenting. I won’t have to go back to work because we can live on husbands income. We live somewhere with no family help but they may be able to visit and stay for a few months at a time to help with the kids. We could probably afford some paid help and could also afford embryo freezing (however I’m not super keen on that idea due to stress on my body and the dilemma of what to do with any leftover embryos). 
Also it took us almost two years of trying to get pregnant with our baby due to endometriosis and a TFMR before we conceived her. No idea how long it would take to get to a live birth for our second or third children. [/quote]
