Travis and I were watching a rerun of Scrubs last night and Carla was all freaking out about the fact that they had recently said I love you to one another. She was like, "I can't stop thinking about our future, if we'll get married, when, will her mom move in with them" and so on and she said, "I just need to know you think about this stuff too." He then ever so sweetly says, "Awwww..... but no, I don't think about that stuff... but I love that you do"

That is the SAME conversation I had with Travis this morning. I told him that I just can't stop thinking about babies. About being pregnant and having miscarriages. Will we ever have a baby again and that I don't want to think about this stuff. I want to go back to having business ideas and focusing on my current businesses. I asked him if he thought about babies and the miscarriages and he was like, "um... no". We started cracking up cause I told him he was like Turk on Scrubs.

Why is it so easy for them? Why do we have to obsess? Why can I not get babies out of my head? I REALLY don't want to think about baby making and stuff. I want to go back to thinking about other stuff. I don't want to dream about it anymore. There is no escape. Does anyone else feel like this?

I just think I am going crazy.

That's what they have us for

I do - and it drives me nuts. When we decided to try for another one last summer, it wasn't quite as bad, but after the m/c it's all I think about. DH told me the other night that he just wants to have unprotected sex and not think about what CD it is, etc... Umm, hello - I can't do that. He does want another but he says 'whenever' it happens is fine, and if it doesn't happen, that's fine too.

Ugh - why can't I have that attitude?

I totally understand! My dh, Scotty, doesn't worry about anything. I am obsessed with having another baby. My dd is 3 yrs old already. I want another one. It's so hard ttc, especially after a loss. He just says it'll happen when it happens. I want it now. I am not patient!!!

[Brittanie]

Yep, I'm that way too. I even took a break from JM to stop myself from thinking about it, and guess what...it didn't work!!


I guess that since it's not their body or anything, they can just not think about it, kwim?

It's pretty much all I've been able to think about since the 1st pg. I know what you mean, it would be nice to be able to focus solely on something else. But even trying to focus on something else, my mind still wanders . . .

[Danica]

At least I am not the only one. I was also thinking maybe a break from JM but then I realized that JM is my outlet for my obsessive behavior and if I didn't get on here I would bottle it up and be probably even more obsessive so you're stuck with me. No matter how much I try to focus on other things my mind always wanders back to babies too. *sigh*

I feel you totally... and it doesn't help when I have 15 people I know having babies in the next 9 months! I'm tired of being obsessed.

It sucks. But I am very excited b/c DH and I decided we're going to build a new home, so that will give me something to focus my energy on for a while... I NEED an outlet. Badly.

yes, I was going to start a new post. We finally decided today on an 1 acre lot only 5-6 miles where we live now. It's in a really nice neighborhood with beautiful homes! DH wants to wait until the beginning of next year to start building, so we're going to focus on getting our house ready to sell - possibly even this summer. If so, we may get an apt. or rent a house until the new one is finished. Could be tricky if I get pregnant along the way, but if so, we'll have a big ol' house not long after a new addition comes! I am very excited!
