TTC: Here We Go Again!
We're back on the TTC train!
Yes, I am on CD 13 and have been testing for my LH surge for a few days now. Still nothing. (This is my 2nd period since I stopped breast feeding in October.)
Last month my LH surge came on day 16. So we shall see. This is the first cycle we are trying again since I conceived back in July 2007.
I can't believe it has been a year and half.
Why does it feel like just yesterday I was testing for my LH surge, waiting for that smiley face to appear on my digital ovulation stick, calling Dave when it finally did appear and announcing it was time to romp in the sheets yet again, and again and again. And then lifting my legs up in the air for like 45 minutes after each romp, praying that THIS time we would make a baby. Running to my acupuncture sessions twice a week, thinking only positive thoughts with each needle that pressed into my body. I would envision me walking a stroller down the street with a sleeping baby in it, or me holding a baby after just giving birth. I was envisioning it finally happening. It had to!
And by some miracle it did.
On July 30, 2007 the magical word appeared on my pregnancy test (for the second time)"PREGNANT" and there it was. And this time it stuck.
On April 8, 2008 I gave birth to a beautiful bouncing baby girl.
I am now very ready to give her a sibling.
I am nervous, scared, anxious, tired, and excited to be on this journey again. It is somewhat different now that I have a baby because I am not focused on trying 24 hours a day like I was before. Maybe that is a good thing. My main focus is on my baby, so much so that I need to remind myself to test for ovulation by leaving myself a note each morning. This was not the case a year and a half ago. I lived and breathed TTC. I am back on my twice a week acupuncture sessions though and we will have to find the energy to romp once again in the sheets ALOT-- since this is definitely something we have to schedule these days.
So here we are back on the TTC train. yay.
I pray it goes quickly and easily this time with a healthy baby in the end.
