TTC after 35
Strange night!
My DH works in public safety. I was at a stress class for families last night. It is given for the wives. It is a nice little group called the Family Assistance Unit.
The speaker is a mom of quads. I was kind of interested to hear her story but the opportunity didn't arise. One of the other wives brought her 4 month old son. I, of course, couldn't stay away and got to hold him for a 1/2 hour. I looked at him and thought how hard is this! So many people have kids!! Then during the seminar, the speaker looked at me and said " I don't know if you have kids" yada yada yada...I just looked at her with a blank stare!
It was just an odd night for me. I faired pretty well given the circumstances. I just really wanted to snatch up the 4 month old and take him home with me. The mom said she wouldn't have minded (this is her 3rd)!!
Happy Friday ladies.

Re: Strange night!
It's funny how it feels so different to be around kids when you are TTC.
It does seem like you handled everything just fine.
My 8-month-old cousin (cousin-in-law?) will be coming to our house with his parents on Sunday. The last time I saw them, I was in the 2ww hopeful stage. I could not put the poor boy down! This time, I'm waiting to O. So again - hopeful.
I'm glad he's not coming here the day AF is due. I might just burst into tears, between the hormones and the disappointment.
It's hard.
I already have one, and it's still hard. I keep alternating between grumpy mommy (because of my stressed out pre-TTC state of mind), guilty mommy (not giving him a sibling yet and all), and adoring mommy (what a wonderful little creature he is).
But then I remember how babies make you not sleep for years, put your body thru hell, and poop all the time. And yet they are still so worth it!
You did a great job getting thru the evening. And one day soon, you'll be the one passing off your baby to another woman who wants one.. Hope it happens fast!
Happy Friday to you too.
It's a funny though hey? Before we decided to TTC I thought of kids as mostly periphery. Once you become aware that you want one, it seems like the entire planet has reproduced over night, don't ya think?
Happy Friday!
Yes...I agree with Cathy...once we decided it seemed that everyone I knew was having babies. I now have 2 girls that report into me at work prego and my bosses wife is prego (due in Nov) and one of my co-workers...also my friend... (due in Nov). It kinda makes me wanna scream, but then again I am so happy that they are not going through the same thing that I am.
