My hormones have kicked into high gear and want a baby now. DH doesnt think the time is right. We use condoms as our birth control right now. While picking up another box (boo) I said this could be our very last box we buy before we start a family. He said uh no, how bout second to last box? I should be happy about this but here's the thing, they are boxes of 12 so there are 24 in total. We dont have that much sex. Twice a month is a good month. So I in turn told DH ok we can do that but we are going to use em all in the next 2 months... I'm not so sure I can handle that! LOL
Happy TMI Tuesday!
Re: TMI Tuesday
I hear you! We switched to condoms and had a time limit on when we'd stop. It was a few months out. Then we started using them and hated them. So we quickly adjusted to no BC and to let nature take it's course.
Lol, so don't stop using them unless you are really really ready.
My TMI would be that everything is bloated. Even my nether regions. It can make for some uncomfortable times. Other than bloating, the occasional cramping, and really sore boobs, I don't feel preggers, it honestly just feels like a bad case of PMS.
Oh I am really really ready. The only thing that is holding DH back is he gets all weirded out at the idea of concieving at his parents house LOL.
Yay for not having morning sickness (yet or knock on wood!)!
lol, it must be a symptom of marriage. Before I knew my clock was ticking, but now that we're married, it was like "wait, what's holding us back?"
Amity, yes, very happy no morning sickness yet. I've had one or two cases of severe nauseousness, but that was last week. So far this week has been much better.
I hear ya on wanting a baby! We are TTC but I am not sure I O'd this past cycle because I didn't have a spike in my temperature and AF arrived today, which means I only had a 24 day cycle. I just had another ultrasound last week and I waiting for the results. I also have to get more blood work done. This should determine if I have PCOS. I really hope I don't have it.
My DH is ready. When we were visiting friends last weekend, he said to them, "I'm ready to be a Daddy!" It was so nice to hear him tell his friends this!
TMI for today, even though I want a baby, I am very scared of all the pregnancy symptoms and gaining the weight. I already weigh 185, so a baby will put me over 200. I'm only 4'11 and it might be hard for me to carry all that weight.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
Tara, I'm worried about the weight too. I was 162 last fall but was up to 179 this summer. I'd started to lose a bit before finding out I was pregnant. I'm at about 175 right now. So I'm hoping to keep it under or at 200 but we'll see. While I'm a bit taller than that, my sister is shorter than me so from her I can understand how just a little extra looks like a lot on a shorter person.
More TMI from me: apparently constipation is a pregnancy symptom. I'm not liking it. But I do have to remember it is slightly and only slightly better than morning sickness.
I would be very happy if I could get down to 175 before I get pregnant. I really need to go to the gym on a regular basis but with all these interviews (and preparing for them) I haven't been going like I should. I really do need to make time for it!

I am in the same boat as you Tara. I am 100lbs over my "ideal" weight, though at my skinniest in high school I was still 15lbs above that goal weight and could not lose anymore no matter what I tried.
I know I should lose some weight before I get pregnant, I just cant get in the mindset to make it happen. I hate it. From what I have read and hear if you are overweight your doctor will reccomend that you gain less wieght than a typical pregnancy.
I'm not and I'm probably the oldest one here!
