Hyzyd is almost 16 months. My friends asked me if I’m ready to be a mom of two. I think I’m not yet ready.

You see, though physically I feel strong to bear a baby for the second time, I still need at least two years to take care of my first baby properly and then prepare myself in every aspect for the second one. Having a toddler already and then a new born (not to mention that I’m a working mom) will only make things difficult for me and the children. Also, my Hyzyd will not feel as neglected if he is old enough to understand that a second baby is coming and needs attention. We want also to make sure we have enough finances to support a second baby. Doctor visits, baby products, health supplements, medicines,medicare supplements, etc. can burn quite a hole in our pocket. So we make sure we are financially sound to have a second child. Also, we plan soundly for the future keeping both the kids in mind. We will need to fish out a good amount for education and career building for the two kids; not to mention their different lifestyles and demands.

So, we keep these few things in mind and I can look forward to a great second pregnancy with the blessings of our God Almighty!
