Too Much Information?
Sunday, July 16, 2006
Warning: This post may include what some would deem "TMI". However, since this weblog IS called "Making a Person", it would be silly not to include this little detail in our journey leading up to parenthood:
WE ARE OFFICIALLY TRYING TO CONCEIVE.
Actually, we haven't really...ahem...uh..."started" trying to conceive yet, as AF just ended and I will not ovulate until around July 25th/29th-ish. I will assume you're a smart little cookie and can make an educated guess on what AF stands for.
So, unless DH decides it would be better to wait until my end-of-August ovulation for whatever reason, looks like we will no longer be taking preventative measures whilst engaging in......der....um....the marital act.
I definitely believe that God created sex for more than just the purpose of procreation. It is an awesome display of the love and covenant between husband and wife. With that said, I am also looking forward to the freedom and excitement of having sex for the purpose of procreation......that will be something I've never experienced before. And then there's a whole 9 months of prevention-free sex to enjoy after that!
My mom and step-dad are coming to visit at the end of September and it would be nice to know for sure if I'm pregnant or not before then. If we wait until my ovulation time in August to start trying, I would be expecting to get or miss AF while they are here visiting. I'd rather be several weeks pregnant by then and able to tell them for sure that they are going to have another grandchild (via my womb this time and not my sister's. (bless her fertile little heart) hee hee :)
You all must be thinking I'm being overly optimistic in expecting that DH and I are going to get pregnant our first go-round. Eh, maybe I am.....but I just have this strong gut feeling that we are not going to have any trouble at all trying to conceive. On the other hand, if it does take a few months, I certainly won't be heartbroken. It will just mean that God hates me and wants me to be a giant preggo cow in the midst of the South's hellishly steamy summertime heat. Totally joking.
God loves me.
