Um....
Um, forget I said the last entry, or something! Baby plans back on. I think. Gosh, what a rollercoaster couple of days!! Yeah so hubby changed his mind yesterday and looooads of issues came to the surface and he said we aren't ready to start a family. Biiiig huge thing.
Today I cried a lot and took the crib apart and put it in the loft, and cleared out the cupboard so there was space to pack the cloth nappies away where I can't see them. So the small bedroom is now really tidy with a nice big space where the crib was, and the cupboard is clear at LAST and the nappies are packed away. And then Neil came home from work and said he'd been thinking about things all day long at work. We talked some more and he told me he had had a lot to think about from what we'd said yesterday. He felt there was no major reason not to start trying to conceive as we planned. My poor old emotions, they have been like a yo-yo all day! So we talked and planned for most of the evening. We wrote out all the things we could think of, however minor, that presented a possible concern over trying to conceive next cycle. And when we had exhausted the options, we went through the list, checking each one to see how we really felt about that issue affecting our timing over TTC. We had eleven possible issues on the list, ranging from money to communication to fitness to our relationships with God. And guess how many remained after we'd checked them off? None. Not one. We then prayed about all the issues and asked God to bless us as we embarked on trying to make a baby in the timing we originally set - later this month. We never prayed together about it before. I felt sceptical at first when Neil said he was okay about things, because everything seemed so up in the air last night. But there was SUCH peace when we prayed, and I feel like it's gonna be okay. All our reasons are shot to pieces about not trying, so we are going to go ahead. Phew!
So yeah, forget last entry!
I am ovulating today, so exactly one cycle to go. We do still have to check with our therapist (maybe next week we'll see her again), and I also have my allergy appointment next week, although it's very unlikely that there will be any problems. But otherwise..... baby-making here we come??
Phew.
