AW:Think I've finally come to grips with having to wait some more (long)
So, not sure if anyone recalls my debate earlier this year when I finally had the revelation that I would like to try to have a baby. Brief background is, that I was never interested in being a mom, but in February DH and I decided that we would like to give it a shot. I had some medical concerns, but went through the tests and was give the all clear by my specialist.
The other side of this is my work... last year the company I work for was bought by a larger more gloabl company. There are a number of different outcomes of how this will turn out and one of them includes me walking away from this new company with a very nice severance package. BUT, I do not want to be walking away PG. Another possibility would be that they could move me internationally (something I've always wanted to do and I've given them the ok to do so).
So DH and I decided to hold off TTC, as wee hoped to hear something before May from my work (we have a big data/system conversion to the "new" way of doing things in May). However, they announced a week or so ago, that they still do not have a plan for my group, but that they envision work for us into August. So I'm still not expected to hear anythin go another couple months!
This news crushed me (again), as I'd been hoping to go off BCP and start TTC soon. So for the last couple weeks I've been humming and hahhing over this again. (In case you can't tell, I'm really not a patient person, so the moment I realized I wanted to have a baby I wanted to start TTCing IMMEDIATELY.) The voice of reason, my DH, has finally won me over and I think I've come to grips with waiting. We're waiting on A LOT of things these days, Had a list of things to do the house this year, but we're holding off b/c we don't know how long we'll be in our house anymore. Well, I'll pick up some more BCP and start another month of pills and maybe work will surprise me. I guess that means I'm becoming more patient, who knew?
Anyway, no real point to this story just wanted to write for a bit. I'm not talking to anyone IRL about this, so every once in a while I feel the need to get it out.

The thing is there will always be a reason to wait. So just make sure you don't get caught up in constantly pushing it back.
Would the international location be somewhere cool?!
I guessing that's subconsciously why I'm in such a rush - it took me so long to get to where I am, I don't want to wait and I don't want it to be as though I'm just constantly coming up with reasons to put things off. Especially considering we're not willing to keep at this (TTC) for a long time - DH does not want to be too old (in his mind) when he becomes a father, so there's always an end-date in mind for TTC for us (successful or not).
Its a good point, and partially why I was so upset with work when we got the news that the decisions had been put off another couple months, I keep feeling as though work is going to just continually put us off. But out lease is up at work the end of September, so hopefully there's an end in sight.
As for international... it could be fun enough... japan, hong kong... (the company I used to work for had better international opportunities - Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago)
