Well, the second month of trying to conceive came and went. I didn't have any luck. I have been seriously considering going back to school to pursue a doctorate in education. It is a constant thought. I am considering going to a school that is about 50 miles away, so I would most likely have to commute a few days a week if they don't offer classes online. I am still debating which graduate school to apply to. I just bought some GRE preparation books to help prepare. I've decided that we will try this month and maybe next month, and if I don't get pregnant then we will put the attempts of conception on hold. Perhaps it would be a good idea to complete at least some course work before I even think about conceiving. So, if it happens, it happens, but I think I am going to focus on trying to lose some weight and getting into a good doctoral program.
My lack of patience is really seeming to get to me after my ovulation. I want to test every day the week before my period. It's gotten better since I started back to work. I don't have time to sit around and THINK about being pregnant.
My husband's cousin just had a baby. We went to the hospital last week to see her new arrival. He is a cutie. My husband held a new born for the first time. It was heartwarming to see.
I think it's rather sad that I know so many women who are having epidurals, Cesarean's, and who are formula feeding. I plan on delivering intervention (epidural, induction, and medication free). I would like to see more women educated on the topic. It seems like so many women think that they don't have any other options other than the ones the doctors suggest or recommend.
I only hope that I will be strong enough not to cave into options that I feel so strongly against.
