what i get to look forward to:





An out of focus pic of my big bellay, 38 weeks. I had 2 weeks more, and i got even bigger, but i can't seem to find pics of it. Probably just as well - the nasty rash started then, and i was scratching all the time.

I remember my first thought when they pulled her out of my belly by Caesarean was 'omgicanBREATHEagain!!' lol



am i insane for wanting to do this again??? ;)

Ack! You're making me broody. I told the husband that someone on my friendlist was pregnant and he asked why I wasn't yet. lol

Awww :)

I have been brooding like a mofo for the last 6 months, it just wasnt the right time, life was too busy throwing us curveballs. :/

The moms at the school gates have babies as well,tiny little babies and i've been grabbing a snuggle when i can and its been driving me mad, so that probably helped make it easier for me to get all knocked up, lol!

When i was preggers the first time, someone handed me a 5lb preemie one time and i just about freaked out, i didn't know what to do with it! I felt the same way about my first, i had no idea what to do with the screaming hungry baby they handed me at the hospital...

NOW i know i can breastfeed successfully and i have more confidence in my body to do the right thing and get the baby out itself and i'm feeling much more positive and in control about the whole experience - its something i chose to do, not something just happening to me, kwim? I felt so out of control the first time, so scared. Now i dont, i'm rearing to go!

*hugs* - ask me anything oyu want to know, i'll be glad to share the nitty gritty on how miserable it gets with a watermelon inside your abdomen, lol :D

If you *want* to get pregnant, i highly recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Taking-Charge-Your-Fertility-Reproductive/dp/0091887585/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200230840&sr=8-1) by Toni Weschler.

That's how i conceived the first one in 1 month trying - taking my temp every morning, and checking cervical mucus, which at the time didn't actually come out like it does now (everything's all stretched out, lol)...

This time i didnt need to temp, my cervical mucus was everywhere, lol. i knew when i was going to ovulate by noting days and signs for the month or two beforehand, so we just timed it on the predicted day in advance, and boom, here we are!

Thanks. I may just get that book. I do want to get pregnant only, I don't think right now is the time-I just applied to Uni.

Oh, i totally understand timing issues - that's what has kept us waiting since late July 2005, because we were planning to get it on then for number two, and then my life fell apart with a family tragedy and the mono/glandular fever and then everything else that brings us up to the present date.

That said i think if i had tried any sooner than August this year, i'd just have been disappointed, because i wasnt ovulating properly until pumpkin weaned, and i didnt want to rush her, she needed it.

*hugs* - you might try the library, they may have a copy of it rather than having to buy it.
