baby fever.. again!
My boss is here today with one of her twins. I was holding him and put him to sleep and now I'm getting ready to feed him!
K, I want a baby. But then again I don't. sigh..

Re: baby fever.. again!
Is it bad that I agree with you and we're TTC?
The whole not being selfish thing is my hangup too. I go so back and forth. When I got pregnant though I was all for it. So I'm really hoping that will happen again. Otherwise I'm screwed! J/K!
Does your H want a baby? If so could you tell him "I'm willing to tolerate this while we have no baby, but I would never have a baby with you doing this." ...or is it more you that wants a baby?
Um where is the other twin? LOL
I am having fertility meds shipped to me today. They are being donated by a friend of mine who is 35wks pregnant with Twins. I'm so thankful for the meds, but a little freaked out b/c I dont have any more excuses.
Not at all. I was like that the whole time we were TTC. We are probably going to start TTC again soon, and I'm still a little hesitant about going through pregnancy and infancy all over again.
I hear that!
Tell him that quitting those habits now will show you how ready he is for TTC and that you will TTC when he quits. If it is what I am thinking, it can affect your sperm so you really don't want him doing that while TTC.
Yes, thanks for reminding me about that. That's another thing that's in the back of my mind. It's changed a lot since when we were younger so I'm pretty confident that it won't be a lingering problem, but it's my own paranoia, you know?
I'm afraid to get back into fertility tx again. Its such a psychotic roller coaster. We were supposed to go back to the clinic this month but with the surgery they are telling me to wait 2 more months. So I have 2 more months to get back on the diet wagon and face my fears again.
As far as H habits are. I'm not sure what they are and you dont need to explain. However you can also tell him that what habits you have now affect your fertility for 3 months from now. Not that you will have issues but it can be added motivation for him to quit.
This was and still is how I feel right now, heh. The unknown terrifies me, especially about having to focus on someone else's needs first and foremost before my own.
However, I hope that pregnancy is a great way to prepare you for motherhood since I've already had to watch myself re what I eat, drink, do to make sure it's the best for the baby. The need to make sure you take care of your baby before you will only get magnified once s/he arrives, right? Besides, I loved all of our little freedoms before this baby and definitely enjoyed a financial freedom that I know we will not have again for a long time (heh, maybe retirement). However, I love our little boy to death already and the loss of these little freedoms doesn't even make a blip in my radar since we are so excited to meet our little one.
Oh man, I never thought I would be the gushing type but here I am. Ha!
Signed, the girl who decided to postpone TTC until October so she could eat and drink to her heart's content during a vacation.
This just made me spit out my drink. ha!
I totally get this. It's the fear of the unknown. I was especially worried since my mom had gestational diabetes with me and my sister, I was premature, and I worried about blood pressure. And all the changes to your body.
And then with being a mom I knew what it was like to be an aunt and a babysitter to my little cousins so I knew I had the feelings of being happy when it was time for them to go home. I worried about having those feelings with my own kids. Luckily I have a pretty happy baby, so 7 months in and I've never had those feelings. There were times where I had to take it a moment at a time and just do what needed to be done next.
My Profile
i don't think anyone is every 100% ready to have kids. we kinda jumped into it bc i knew if i thought about it too long, i'd find every reason in the world now to get pregnant. and i'll probably do the same for #2.
same goes for raising kids. we don't know what we're doing...we're just trying to make sure we don't screw up too much that we totally ruin our kids! honestly, you have to think, there are kids all over the world without parents, love, food, shelter,etc. providing all of those things gives you a leg up.
I occasionally pick up my dog and craddle him. I tell him "It's practice for a real baby". He hates it.
I can totally relate to this.
And MD -
you kill me!!! Put a bib on your kitty and PIP, ok!?!?!?
Me too! Show me a woman who isn't a little scared of pregnancy/motherhood and I'll show you a big fat liar! And Michelle Duggar doesn't count!
I felt like that too. I think most people feel like that, then you get pregnant/adopt and are totally for it. And honestly, there are even some times now where I have a pang of "oh, no more carefree vacations with just the two of us" but, it's all part of the adventure.
