Spin-off of TTC Guilt: Anyone else feel like this (yes, i know it's weird lol)
I see alot of people write that they feel guilty TTC and thinking about how it's going to affect DC#1. And that's totally understandable, but i feel the complete opposite.
I feel like- with any/all future DC, i wont have that same 'alone time' with them that i had with DD anyway, and that the more time that goes by that we put off TTC (we dont have any kind of plan or anything, but DD is only going to be 12 weeks this weekend, so its not like we need to make a decision anytime soon ). Anyway, i feel like by putting off TTC, i feel guilty for our non-existent, unborn children that they're missing out on all of these memories that we're making as a family. Yeah, i said i knew it was weird!
But, i'm just curious if anyone else felt like this? I mean, i also dont want to think "hurry up and pop out these kids so we can start moving forward", and i dont want to take that time away from DD either (or miss out on enjoying what an amazing baby she is b/c, seriously, we couldn't have asked for a better ). I just, apparently, feel bad for little people that dont even exist yet. Anyone else?

I get ya!! Like you'll be doing all these fun things that your future DC won't have been a part of!
I try to think of it this way:
1. if we wait a little longer.....I will have SOME alone time with a new baby (like DS being in pre school....getting a few hours alone with new baby)....
2. New baby gets a good big brother to show him or her the ropes!!
