Waiting is SO hard!

BriAndSean

I was so excited to start trying for #2 in April and I'm super bummed that I now have to wait until August or September to try again. I know my body (and my heart) need time to heal but I just long for another little one. Doesn't it seem like when you are waiting for something... time just goes by SO much slower?!

Anyone have any ideas of what I should do while I am waiting? I am thinking maybe if I have some other things planned this summer to look forward to, it will help keep my mind off of the waiting. Someday I will look back and laugh at how much I wanted to speed time up

Can you plan any weekend trips or maybe a party or BBQ?  I know when I have stuff to plan it makes the time go by much faster!!!

Last spring/summer, after months of trying DH and I decided that we would plan a weekend getaway every month. Something to look forward to while keeping our minds off of TTC.

It's so hard.....but you're right, you will look back and think "why did I try to speed it up?"

Good luck

I 2nd the BBQ or parties. Maybe even have them theme related so there is more to plan. I think themes always make parties funner. (I know that's not a word lol)

How about some family camping trips, or even little romantic getaways for you and DH once a month. Don't have to be anywhere far or expensive, the key is it's just you two. HTH. And hang in there. =]

Well, this is what I did:

Post mc #1 - adopted Duke (dog), now 2.5 years old

Post mc#2 - started reading the Twilight series, that pretty much kept me occupied for a couple weeks.

Make a quilt (some are very basic, easy sewing!) for Project Linus https://www.pacificfabrics.com/community_service.htm

During and after my MC, I delved headlong into all of the projects I knew I would't get done with a baby around.

Lots of great ideas! Thanks ladies

Here's what I have got so far... Plan a getaway with DH for July. Plan a family daytrip each month this summer. Plan a birthday BBQ for DH in August. And, I have been meaning to get lost in a new book. Plus, I am starting photography classes this fall.

Perfect, a whole bunch of new things to look forward to!

I second the trips but to places that you won't be able to go while PG or with a newborn, like Walla Walla (if that is your kind of thing) or white water rafting or ride some roller coasters.
