Oh no ...
Sigh. Ok, so, let me start off by saying that I DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT, have baby fever. I HAVE a baby and I am 2nd Heaven with her. But I am fairly certain that AF is on her way, which will be her first visit since June 2007!! Along w/ that comes some emotions for me. Mainly the idea that I can start charting again to TTA or TTC - where did this last year and a half go? How can it be that I've already TTC, been pregnant, had a baby, and now have a 7-month old with AF coming up? So many thoughts have been swirling through my mind. It could just be that two friends are due to have babies soon and that brings back a lot of memories for me, combined w/ my impending AF. Anyway, just wanted to get that out, and thank you for listening.
Re: Oh no ...
Laura would say that the first sign of baby fever is denial
I have yet to get AF since Austin still gets up at night to nurse...but of course it doesn't mean I can't get pregnant....as much as I miss being pregnant...well, parts of it at least and would love the idea of another child so close in age - I look at Austin and just could not do it now...I'm still just enjoying every minute with him and the thought of a newborn, with him makes my mind spin - as much as I know I could handle it, I have my doubts about it....anyways, that being said - Tom and I are not actively TTC - but the "pull and pray" method certainly isn't totally TTA either...
hahaha, denial it could be, but, it's not. I definitely do NOT want another baby right now. We're planning a second, if we do (we don't know if we want another child, maybe, probably, but we don't know for sure), when Alyssa turns 2 or shortly thereafter. I'm just feeling nostalgic, I think.
BTW ... you can get AF when you're nursing ... I still pump every.single.day and Alyssa has exclusive breast milk. Yet, I KNOW AF is coming.
I think getting AF for the first time is kinda emotional honestly. I was emotional when I got mine...which came pretty much right away cause I had issues BFing. It was strange to think I could pregnant right away...but I also liked being "back to normal" if that makes sense. It also made me go to the Dr. and get back on the pill asap cause I didn't want to get pregnant again. At this point I am really happy with Jack and enjoying every minute with him! I don't know if I could do the "2 under 2"....!! HA!
I know..the first names are hard. First name is Tara...i think we should all put our names in our siggies! HA! It is very emotional ....It is hard to describe really. After all you go thru being pregnant and having a baby you are back to normal again. My hats off too to the super Mom's...cause that is amazing. My husband's brother is only 11 months younger than him....which is CRAZY to me...!
It's possible to have baby fever without actually wanting a or another baby
At least that's what I tell myself - LOL!
Bex, if what you say is true, then I guess I've got it!!
hi Tara!
I still havent seen good ole AF and don't plan to for a long time, since I have an IUD and I'm BFing still (plan to until jordan is 18 mos if we can get that far). I did recently quit pumping though...
And, I am starting to have a bit of the baby fever...though I definintely want to enjoy Jordan by himself for a little longer. He's still not STTN, and is the busiest child I've ever seen, so the thought of another at this point makes me TIRED just thinking about it!!!
I love your siggy pic of Alyssa by the way!!
