Cycle Day

Do you know those acronyms? Are you obsessive about getting pregnant? TTC, CD16, 2WW, DOP, AF...

I'm waiting waiting waiting to get pregnant. My baby will be 18 months next month, I'm a whopping 24 years old, but we're still nursing. It doesn't change that I long to feel a little one snuggling up in my womb, that I constantly dream of how another baby would fit into our lives (very well), or that I say 500 times a week... 'if' I ever get pregnant... I'm going to name the baby-- I'm going to get this carseat-- I"m going to

Teehee. All in God's timing. We have the conviction to nurse our children until they're 2, so that might be suppressing my fertility a bit still. We'll see.

Fertility friend

I graduated in 2001 from high school. I think there's something about our generation that mandates we use technology regardless of whether a pen and paper would do better. I'm not even quite sure what my generation is called, I think it's 'Y' But to prove my point, I track my periods on Fertility Friend. I put in enough data during the month to keep it from closing my account, but mainly just use it to remember when my period was. I'm on cycle day 19 today, of maybe a 30-35 day cycle. Last menstrual period of 12/05/07 if we conceive this month the baby will be due on my daughter's 2nd birthday, our 5th anniversary. I remember doing similar calculations (LMP of 12/07/05) two years ago at this time, wondering and waiting for the two lines of my pregnancy test. I'm in the so-called two week wait right now, waiting until I can take a test and see... I hope so! I'd love a baby sister next fall. A year and a half later, I've almost forgotten my resolutions to NOT be 8 months pregnant in August ever again. Ohhh, to have that sweet newborn calmness, the little mouth,the little eyes looking up at Mommy, the first smile... I hope to be blessed again soon. We'll see.
