My husband only wants one but I want a second. I don't know why, but I really want to get pregnant again, so my 17 month old son can have a sibling close in age to him. How do I bide my time until/if my hubby changes his mind?

Just have fun "baby making" He's probably worried about the financial "back set." Just keep communication lines open, and have an open mind. Maybe ask why he prefers one child verses two- you may be surprised of the outcome.
Good Luck.

Have you stopped to consider WHY your husband might not want another baby?
Part of marriage is communication. A more important part is respect. It would be disrepectful to him to discuss such an important matter with strangers rather than with your husband.
The impulse to have children is natural and normal, but you might also want to examine your own reasons for wanting another child as well. Are they in line with your current economic situation? Will it put too great a strain on your marriage? Is part of the problem that you and your husband are not communicating enough, and you need something to get his attention like you had when you were pregnant?
I am not saying these are your reasons...just that you may want to stop and think about WHY it is that you need another baby. An age difference of two years isn't too different than three years.
It might be a tough conversation, but maybe you and your husband can find some middle ground after you talk about it. Sit him down, and not in a way which makes him feel cornered. You might even find out that he has a perfectly good reason for only wanting one.

No. flow stay which contain your loved ones or some stable friends. the only way he ought to "get out of" deployment could be if something truly undesirable befell (i.e. you lost the toddler or have been on your death mattress from problems) and basically then for a defined era of emergency flow removed from which he could at last would desire to return. I pray that NONE of those issues take place to you nevertheless. Deployment is an component to army existence, get a stable help device and it sluggish ingesting hobbies. appropriate of high quality fortune to you on your being pregnant. :)

Keep the communication flowing. Ask what his reservations are and figure out valid reasons to change his outlook on the matter. If that fails a pin in the condom works too. lol

I guess the best thing to do would be focus on the baby you do have and not on the one you don't.
