It’s game-on in the TTC front! All surgeries have been completed, no more getting put to sleep, no more excuses, it's officially time to, um, oh lordy it's time to make a miracle! Jimminie Crickets, I feel like I'm flying without a net. Our first two trips down this road landed us in the completely wrong direction- twice. So, um, here we go- we're throwing caution to the wind, holding on tight, because who KNOWS what's gonna happen next! Anyone else as excitedy nervous as I am? Tee hee...I'm thinking triplets...LOL
Honestly, it does feels good to not be staring at the calendar, counting down the days until we could start trying again. Unfortunately, with the arrival of AF today after our first month back TTC, I’m definitely feeling a bit disappointed. I was really hoping that after all we’ve been through, this 3rd pregnancy would happen quickly. But I know that stressing about it is quite counter-productive, so I shant dwell on it. Is that a word? Shant? As in “shouldn’t/can’t”? If not, it totally should be.
I actually did a really good job this month about not stressing about whether or not we could be PG again yet. Of course, with that whole wisdom teeth surgery that I’d been putting off for 13 years thrown in the mix, there was definitely some stressing out going on. That coupled with the post-family visit depression that always comes from vacationing up North (it’s always SO wonderful to be back “home” until it’s time to come back HOME- not that I‘d miss it for the world!) made this last month a bit heavy on the stress side. So this next month’s plan of attack is NOT to attack…to relax, get in some workouts, and focus on my new hobby of couponing (pronounced: coop in eeng…cause ya gotta love coopins!J).
Oh, and here’s my theory…the first time we tried to get PG, we got PG the first month. The second time, we got PG the second month. So…this third time trying (see where I’m going with this?J), I'm thinking the third month should do it. Here’s the kicker though: we actually tried a couple of months ago “for the fun of it” (apparently we were feeling like risk-takers that month since the timing would have been BAD if we’d actually conceived). So...does that mean we’re on Round 3 for this third pregnancy? Or is it consecutive months of TTC that count, meaning we‘re on Round 2? Hmm…here’s hoping for the former…J
Love y'all! Think baby thoughts J
