    Exploring the idea of OAD

    @rainbow42 5 weeks is very very early. Obviously at this point you're still physically recovering and have so many phases to go through. I, too, always wanted 2 kids but for a variety of reasons, am definitely leaning toward being OAD. I'm 10 months postpartum (which is also early!!) and also...
