Baby Fever
Ok...so seeing the picture of Eli really makes me want another baby! But DH and I agreed that it'll be about another year before we start TTC again.

Re: Baby Fever
Mine's slowly been creeping back in over the last month or two. Last time I had it, it was pretty intense, but this time around, it's more like, "yep, I'm ready."
I think it also has to do with the fact that we also officially have the names we'd like to use when the time comes.

Yeah, I've had it for awhile now
But to be perfectly honest, it's starting to go away. We've been TTC for 29 months now, and really, I'm becoming more and more okay with the idea of being childless with each month that passes. I'm tired of meds and schedules and needles.
I can live vicariously through all of you!

HAHA - I try to stay hopeful, but I'm so full of drugs today that I'm a little bit moody!! And I hate how it feels, you know?
As for the Disney trip ... BFN. All my cycle updates are always in my siggy, including current cycle protocol.

No way jose!! You're still in it to win it baby!! ((hugs))
Lol. We need a good cat pic for this.
I admit to thinking that I am closer. Our friends just had a baby about 5 weeks ago. I got to cuddle with him over the weekend and loved it.
We need to figure out my job situation and earn a bit more before we think about it, though.I also want to redo our kitchen and get rid of the carpet in the living areas of the house first.
If we wait about 2 years, we may have the perfect childcare, too. My SIL runs an in home daycare and I'd love to send kids there because she is amazing (and cheap!). In one year, one kid will be off to kindergarten and then the next year four more (including her two kids) will. So, ideally we'll get in on that second set

Tritto! I know it's easier for us to be hopeful, but I really am. I think about you and Amy often.

Haha, not the "little pale" part... but it's a start!
I was just saying that my fever is going down, that's all. We're trying for 3 more cycles, including this one and then we're done.
Now, some more of you need to hurry up and get KU ... Kara ...

Have you guys given any thought to adoption or fostering?
My baby fever has been creeping back over the last couple months after going away this fall/winter. All the cute babies on this board are pushing it along.
But I'm in a wedding in September and will be really busy with planning the shower and bach party so we definitely won't be thinking about trying until after that. Plus we're still finishing our basement, which we want done first.
I'm also not sure I'm completely ready. I think knowing I don't want to get pregnant right now because of the wedding if making it hard to know if I'm ready for the sleepless nights and lack of me time. I love looking at all the baby pictures, thinking about names, and learning about the gear, but I can't say right now that I'm 100% ready.
::Baby dust to all those trying:: We're always thinking of you.
oh I know what you meant. I'm just letting you know that I'm (we're) still so hopeful for you
and trust me, I want me to get PG too!! I think it might be time for one of our "talks" again soon....
I have it for you - after I regained composure after seeing the first photo of Eli, my next thought was that you need to get one of these!

Love. that was my thought after seeing his picture too
I have it, although it's not as bad as it was about a month ago when one of my BFFs had her second boy. I know there is no way we can TTC for a while; the earliest we could think about an addition is a year from this May when B is done grad school and I am hopefully done my first year at a new job. I'm kind of thinking that the following Jan is better (get spring semester and summer off) when P is 3 1/2. We'll see.
My SIL is due at the end of July, though, so that helps my baby fix.

Word. It hit me like a Mack truck sometime around Christmas. I'm still on BCP, but am not happy about it.
Unfortunately we have all sorts of things up in the air with DH's job (totally secure, but his next promotion has an 80% chance of forcing us to move), which means I'd have to find a new job, make myself a valuable asset, THEN get pg and drop the bomb that I need 3 months off....Boo DH's job.
minor detail
I had the fever really bad last spring when my BF had her baby but it's gone away a little. I'm to the point where I'm just ready now and we finally sold my grandparents house so we're out from under that burden and we're in better shape than we have been.
I went off BC in Jan. because I was just done with it and was getting sick, JT says we're just going to see what happens but he has no clue how cycles work so I hope soon. I feel so much better now that there is no more BC. I'm just ready to be a mom.
Sarah, you're not out yet, I'm hoping.
