DB told me that he wants to start TTC next MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on DH making his decision! It's ok if you still feel on the fence! You will always feel sad about your loss. And don't feel bad if you just need more time too...that's OK. Talk it out with DH and do what feels right.

Congrats on DH being ready!

Oh P - I am seriously so freakin happy for you that it brought tears to my eyes! If you are ready then GO FOR IT!!!

What made him change his mind? I thought it was 2 years away yet. See, I knew you would get an "oopse" before that but now it may be a TTC BFP!

Wow, I am really happy for you.

YAY!!! Congrats!! don't worry hun. You'll be Ok. We're all here for you! I can't wait to see that BFP!

That is awesome P. Don't worry about your cold feet. Either they will go away and the excitement will stay or you will just figure out why they are there and deal with whatever is causing it. It's ok to be scared (especially considering a loss). In the meantime don't stress about the situation - enjoy your time preparing for your sky dive!!

P!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! I am SO excited for you!!!

Its okay to be on the fence. You just went from having something going on in 2 years to having something start NEXT MONTH.

Aww, thanks, ladies

I'm SO glad that I have you for support...I could never do this on my own!

Missy - I really got the story wrong the first time! I asked Jeff to tell it to me again a couple days ago, so I'm editing what I posted...again...

Jeff and a couple friends went of town a few Saturday's ago. At one point, they ended up at the house of one of his friend's friends. The friend's friend had a couple of children, and they were still up. There was a trampoline in the yard, and Jeff got bored and started jumping on it

The children joined him, and then they didn't want him to stop...they tried to keep him on by clinging to his legs

He said that they got him thinking about trying to have our own sooner rather then later.
I thought the story was so cute. Kids LOVE Jeff. He has such a sense of fun, and he's really a big kid at heart.
ETA: I never actually mentioned to Jeff about the plan to wait 2 years. Last time we discussed TTC, we agreed that we would talk about it again in 3 months. But then we couldn't get a house because of our circumstances, and we were both having a hard time finding a job. I wanted a date to look forward to, and I knew that it could really vary. So I chose the very latest date that I wanted to TTC by, which would have baby being born after DB graduated, had a month to find a new job, and passed the 3 month probationary period.
Putting TTC on a back burner and convincing myself that I had two years was rough at first, but just recently, it was getting better. Jeff actually admitted to me during our last talk that there were times when he wanted to TTC right away, but there were practical reasons holding him back.

Heather - I'm so excited, too!! It's so cool to think that your baby might be just a couple months older then mine

I could have a mother's day baby

I've already decided that we're going to go for a really relaxed approach (atleast at first). No OPK's, no temping, just what I've already been doing...noting my body's signals that I'm ovulating. I'm not going to tell DB when we need to BD...I can get what I want without talking

Besides, if it's just to BD for the sake of BD'ing, I'm not going to enjoy it at all.

But do I really have enough time to prepare my body for this? I've been eating really well for a little over two weeks now, and I actually recently started folic acid for a non-TTC related reason. I've been taking a multivitamin, and I switched to prenatals yesterday. I've read that you should start taking folic acid and prenatals three months prior.

Horray for little kids and trampolines!!! I am so happy for you!

Mothers day babies are awesome. My youngest is a mothers day baby

I don't think it matters when you start taking it beforehand, as long as you are taking the prenatal.

I mean, the month we TTC I was determined to finish off all the wine we had in the rack. I did that and then some (one weekend I panicked about going so long without my favorite wines so I walked to the wine store down the street and picked up my favorites....hahaha). If anything it kept me relaxed!

I'm so excited for you....so exciting. A mother's day baby would be so great.

..Penelope.. · #16 July 13th, 2009, 11:58 AM

Thanks, hon!

I'm a little torn between enjoying my last wine for awhile, or trying to cut back to help get my body in shape for the upcoming challenge. Not that I drank a lot before, but I've been trying to stick to 2 only on weekends, and that can be hard on a girl's night or out with Jeff

Kary♥RN · #17 July 13th, 2009, 02:02 PM

HAHAHA We have beer/wine left over from my sons graduation.. we have been drinking it... I am counting own till the last day I can have a drink... I here you both about trying to "cut off"... It's like "we have a problem".. LOL HAHA... the TTC game you got to love it!!!

szczepanski · #18 July 13th, 2009, 02:10 PM

I think wine has more healthy benefits than anything else. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

I looooooove a glass of wine in the evening, like 7:30, 8 o'clock when I'm unwinding down. I like sipping a cold glass of chardonnay and rolling it around on my tongue to taste all the flavors. MMMM. To me, wine is something I enjoy to much to have more than 2 glasses a night anyways.

I rationed it out to last up until 7 dpo. I wanted to enjoy it because I knew it would be a long time before I would get to really enjoy a glass again, especially with breast feeding and all that too.

I say enjoy it! Looking back I'm like "I should have had one more glass of that...." hehehe.
