TTC after 35

trying not to plan my life around the possibilities...

My husband and I went to look at bigger apartments this weekend, with the rationale that we would not want to be in his one bedroom with a baby and we wanted to be able to host guests.  After much thought, I decided that if another year rolled around, and we weren't pregnant AND hadn't had any guests, I would be pissed that we went through all the hassle of moving.  Ultimately we decided that he should re-sign his current lease for another year, and we would deal with baby logistics if there was a need for it. 

(Of course, this morning, my temp went up on 8DPO, and I have already convinced myself that this is going to be my cycle -- I fully expect the crazy baby thoughts to increase exponentially over the next 5 days).

  • Moving is no fun.. so I completely understand your hesitation!  I hope this is your month and then we can all say "See you should have planned a move!"  LOL.  Good luck getting thru the next 5 days.. Fingers crossed that this is IT!

  • I understand this. After a few years of planning and giving thought to "oh if we are pg" or "what if we have twins".......yup clearly that thought process was flawed after nearly three years with zero success.

    I try not to give these things more than a second of my thoughts. It is hard for sure but everyday I try to live in this moment cause there is nothing else you can do!!!

  • I hope this is the one for you... and even if it is, it will be almost a year before the little one makes an appearance, so staying in the 1BR was probably a wise choice. My husband and I moved into a 2BR over a year and a half ago partly due to our TTC and also to have more room for guests. I am not mad we made the move, because I like where we are living better. What is kind of sad, is that the second bedroom has become a junk room with no purpose. So, at least you will be avoiding that folly as well!
