Let's get pregnant!

The time has finally come to start trying to give my toddler a sibling... and I'm so excited!

This weekend will be our first cycle TTC... and I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's so difficult!  All I can think about are baby names and what my stomache might look like by Christmas, and what it will look like when we finally leave this crazy land far far away and move back to the motherland.

We got pregnant with our first on the first try... no months of waiting, or peeing on stick after stick.  (I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be insensitive to anyone out there who has difficulty getting pregnant, this was just how it was with me).

My husband and I practice NFP (natural family planning).  So we know, through signs my body gives me,when I'm fertile and when I'm not fertile.  And it totally works.  I mean we've been married 4 years and only tried to conceive once, and it took.  I used to be like clockwork with my cycle... then I had my son and, obviously, things went a little crazy, which took a lot of getting used to.  But over the last 4 months or so I've been right back to normal.

I can't wait to start trying (wink wink) and to hopefully announce in a few weeks that I peed on a stick and saw two lines!

Confession

I went to church wearing jeans and flip-flops today.  Half of that was a mistake, and half was sort of on purpose.

I didn't shave my legs, so I couldn't wear a skirt... so jeans it was.

We have all tile floors and I don't like wearing socks, so I wear my flip-flops around the house to keep my feet clean and warm... but twice this week I've walked out the door without putting proper shoes on!

Time to put a sticky note on the door:

Do you wear socks around the house? Flip-flops? Bare-feet?

The Other Me

I'm not new to blogger.  I have another active blog.  My other blog is a journal of sorts.  But it's more like a log book.  A journal of activities, not thoughts, ideas, opinions.... I want a place that I can express that other me.  The one who wants to learn to sew, admire photographers but will probably never be one herself, who wants to have more kids, and wants to talk about having more kids.

My family are kind of silly.  They like to make fun of people who blog.  People who are too active on facebook.  People who actually open up and talk about the real them for a change.  They are not good about opening up.  And because of that, I feel uneasy really opening up on my other blog.  Hence I just update about our lives.  Which isn't bad.  We (my ruggedly handsome husband, oh-so-adorable son and I) live in a crazy, backwards far off land and want to keep our families up to date.

So here starts a new chapter, hopefully you enjoy what you read and we can become bloggerville friends :)
