Maybe your little one has just grown out of that snuggly newborn phase and it\u2019s giving you all the feels, or maybe you have a tot running around and you think it\u2019s time for a sibling. Either way, making the decision to make your family a little bit bigger can be a big decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re feeling the pregnancy itch, make sure you take a few things into account before you make the leap.

If you\u2019re both on board, it\u2019s baby-making time! If not, take a breather to figure out where the disconnect is, and how you might be able to fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is your house ready for another baby?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a good place to set up baby #2\u2019s nursery? Would the baby be sharing a room with a sibling? You might want to be sure the crib <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> in your first born\u2019s room, at least for those first few weeks of no sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are you and your partner ready to take the leap financially?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that babies aren\u2019t cheap. Make sure you and your family are ready to accept the change that will come with having another little one added to the family. Consider daycare costs, or if you\u2019d prefer to stay home with your littles, have a discussion about the logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does it mean for your first little one?<\/strong> <\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You might also want to take into consideration your first little one\u2019s age, self-sufficiency, and feelings.\u00a0 Try to come up with a plan to make the adjustment smooth, by keeping up with the current routines and schedules as much as possible.
