I did college full time online too but when I had two kiddos! Hope your courses are going well!
Ladies I have to admit that I wish I could ttc this month or next. It is absolutely out of the question but gosh am I ready. I am tired, haven't been feeling good and just can't wait to get off of this diet. technically we don't even want a baby with a January birthday but April being a peak month for baby girls conceived we have to go with it. haha
So many stay at home moms! I am a full time working mom, and I take college classes 2 nights a week. Some times I wish I could be a stay at home mom, then i take a few vacation days and I realize there is no way I could do it lbs.
Rosie, I understand completely, then I think about if my sway failed, I would always think that it failed because I was too impatient. I am taking it a month at a time, March is midterm month, and April is my b-day and anniversary month, and May is finals. The time will come very soon.
I always want to TTC! Lol. But I don't want a baby yet. And I don't want to have a baby in Nov-Feb. So that leaves us with preventing. And since I'm so far off of a girl sway now, I need to be avoiding!! But it's always tough for me to know when I am ovulating and know I *could* conceive a baby and still avoid it.
I actually take a higher dose of aspirin than most on here. But I have a medical condition that requires it (for both me and baby), so I'm sure that makes a difference. I take an 81mg every day. But without it my baby wouldn't survive implantation because of my body's clotting factors. For the average person, that might make implantation less likely, since it thins it too much. I think 100mg three times a week sounds reasonable though.
At the moment, I am soooo far off thinking about swaying or babies. All three of my kids have been running me through the wringer (I am SAH too) and I am literally dead on my feet most days. I have two teething, one fighting sleep, and another being entirely obstinate and just difficult to handle. Poor DH high tailed it to bed tonight (on Valentines, poor guy) because I was fighting the baby to go down and was just getting more irritated by the second. It's been a constant struggle this week for any sleep at all. And I'm sure it's teeth, but mamas skin is wearing thin. I need some space!! So...yea, sooooo not thinking about another this week. Ask me next week (With any hopes, ill ovulate this week to make avoiding very easy!)
(Sorry for the whine!!)
Welcome new faces :) We love to have more folks on here. Ill need plenty of people to stalk (in a non-creepy way) when y'all get preggers.
We never wanted kids but now I am a SAHM mom too. I had a thriving career with great pkg. And and was planning on continuing after my son was born.
Bit he decided to come way too early amd seeing this tiny 3 pound thing changed my life forever lol. We r fortunate that my hubby has a good job that allows me to spend my time with my son. I will get a chance to work all my life but these first few years will never come back

Hi ladies, happy Saturday! Sorry I've been mia here, work has been crazy! That's great so many of you are sahm's. I am planning to be after #2.. whenever that may be! We had an unexpected BD a few nights ago which was the night before I got a pos opk. We'll see if anything comes of it but I'm doubting so since he pulled out (sorry if tmi!). Have a nice weekend everyone!

Awww only 3lbs!! When was his due date? I understand that, my closest friend is a SAHM (the only one I know personally). She has 2 boys and 2 girls and loves she can be there for her girls. I commend all of you for being a SAHM, I have this crazy desire to work. I have had 2 jobs since I was 16 and went down to one when I got married and had my second son, I didn't need two I have to busy like crazy busy or I feel like I am going bonkers kwim? I hope I didn't offend anyone with my first comment. Dh has a great job and I could stop, but for my own sanity and my work I continue. My line of work is amazing and as long as I stay there my children will get a free education at $44,000 a year per child I couldn't beat that with a stick if I wanted to.Quote:

I had a lot of trouble with the stay at home mom thing at first, but after kid 2, daycare would have eaten up so much of my salary after gas (we live in the boonies in AK) it wasn't a logical solution. That's actually how I ended up working from home. It let me stay home with the spawn while satisfying that intense need to work. I garden and stuff too. I'm going to college for a business degree. My husband and I plan to open our own business so I can get more into the social side of working. lol
I'd agree, the whole waiting to try is so hard. We had been trying for a summer baby, and we stopped in jan. because we already have 2 sons born in October, same day actually. They are exactly 4 years, 2 hours and 12 minutes apart. Our first ttc again cycle starts around March 26th with a solid new moon ovulation date so we ended up with 3 cycles in between. With charting and stuff, you know when you're fertile, so tempting to just be like..eh..opps forgot the condom. lol But I think April is a good shot for us all, if we want pink.
