Am I too optimistic?

Cow-girlCow-girl member
in TTC After a Loss

I just signed my DD's up for that competition in Orlando FL in January 2010.  They will be competing in modeling and acting.  It is a great opportunity for them both, I am so excited...

Well here's where the "Am I too optimistic" part comes in..  They had two competitions next year - one in January and one in July..   I told them that the July competition was out because I hope to be caring for a newborn baby at that point..  :)  I told them that we could participate in the January competition because I would probably be pg at that point....

I guess I am awful hopeful to be pg again soon..  But then I got to thinking "Am I being to cocky" ?  The crazy way we run our lives around ttc!

    I don't think you're being too optimistic at all. We all have to look forward to something, don't we? If you lived your life like you will never be pg again, it would be stressful. I'm glad to hear that you're doing well & looking forward to good things in the future!

    Nope..keep thinking positive! Im going to NY for my birthday in Oct and keep telling myself I will be pregnant and all the pictures we take and everything we will be doing will be so much more fun because I will be KU...Crazy thinking because its only a month away but I gotta think like that or I think I would be sad...

    Ummm.....did u miss my post the other day about buying dd a Halloween jacket the other day in a sz too big, hoping that she'll get to wear it next year, just because it's EXACTLY the same jacket she had last year and I'm ASSUMING I'll have another baby by next Halloween and they'll be able to waer matching jackets!? Pretty insane when I think about it.......I should've just bought it to fit her for now....but ah, well.....the ttc brain works differently than most! Confused

    It's interesting - I'm this weird combination of optimistic and pessimistic. I am planning a series of visits/trips in Oct and I find myself thinking I will be pg, but also might be m/cing in the middle of it all. So I'm making myself crazy ("Both my m/cs happened at 8wks, I'll be away at 8wks, what will I do if I m/c? Should I cancel my trip?) It's very hard not to write all sorts of stories about what is going to happen.

    All we got is hope, so we gotta go with it!  DH and I are going to San Francisco and Napa in a few weeks for my birthday, and DH said, "Wouldn't it be funny if you were pg in Napa and couldn't drink any wine?"  Ummm, not really, but of course, I'd be thrilled!

    I hear that life is 95% attitude.  You have a positive one and not "being cocky".

    Yah tomorrow is the deadline for it because the orientation is this weekend.  They have 30 hours of training before the competition..  We knew this three weeks ago (after they auditioned and got call backs)...

    Hell no your not being to cocky because you WILL have a newborn in July. No doubt in my mind.

    I don't think you're too optimistic. Of course we all want to be pregnant or have a baby by point X. I'm already worried about having a huge belly when we go to HH with my family in May! I say continue with your positive thinking!

    I don't think so at all. 

    I'm the same way, not planning on our trip to Turkey next year because I'd be sitting at the beach with a newborn baby the whole time. 

    it's what gives us hope, and sometimes that's what we need to get by.
