Mommy bug
UGH this morning the mommy bug bit me HARD!! I have to have surgery in a couple of weeks and am really not trying to get pregnant right now or within the next few months since we want to clean up our credit and get a house, but I keep getting these feelings that I want to get started as soon as I heal from the surgery. Also, with all these issues I'm having I'm really just curious to see if I can even get pregnant (kind of like a "test"). How can I take my mind off of it just long enough to get the things done that we need/want to get done??
Re: Mommy bug
Mommy bug has been hitting me hard too - but I don't know if that just because everyone I know is either pregnant or has just had a baby. Basically, it isn't really that great of a time for us either - we would also like to get a house (or at least a bigger place) but we can't get rid of the old one...but anyway. DH and I really aren'ttrying, but we're also not NOT trying
As far as you waiting - I'm not sure what will distract you from it - it's a big deal....but usually when my mind is really focused on one thing (a "project" if you will) it helps. Maybe if you focus on the buying a house thing - researching, looking at neighborhoods you like etc?
I've got the bug too. My BFF is prego and isn't having an easy time coming to terms with being unexpectedly pregnant and not 100% sure she wants to be with the guy. All I can think about is WANTING to be prego. H and I are not exactly young and if we got knocked up tomorrow, he'd be over 60 at our first child's HS graduation. Needless to say, I don't want to be thought of as grandparents with a high schooler!
H's parents are older grandparents to his niece and nephew and they aren't able to run around chasing them as much as their younger, more active maternal grandparents.
We have begun having "appointments" to talk about the baby subject. It makes it easier to not have the topic be constant and keep the feelings from getting out of control (for me anyway). His argument for waiting is purely financial and my response is that no one is every truly ready and that whatever happens we will be fine and find a way to make it all work.
if anyone has any convincing tactics, please feel free to mention them.
I have the mommy bug hard core. I think we will start trying this summer at least that is the plan.
Good luck with your surgery!!!
