Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi Ladies

I'm in my second cycle of TTC #2, so I thought I would introduce myself.  I'm 32 years old, live in Iowa and found over time (8 years) that I absolutely love it here.  I love coffee, beer and cooking!  I normally post in parenting, but I would like to start posting here as well as I dive into this TTC journey.  DS is 3 and amazing :)  I have been a SAHM since he was born but just last month started watching my friends two boys.  My days are now significantly busier with 2 three year olds and a one year old.  In fact, I just discovered that my friends oldest boy just peed all over the side of the toilet, the floor and the wall.... I'm off to clean the bathroom, but hope to start posting more and getting to know everyone!

    S/O and I went up there on a game day by accident, and oh my God, it took us hours to get out of IC. Whoops.

    That sucks!!  Traffic is insane on game days!  We live about 20 miles outside of Iowa City and take all back roads to get there and it still takes forever!  I bet you were like, 'what the hell!'

    Yeah traffic is crazy on game days. I went to school there so most of my game days I lived stumbling distance across the river! I moved to CA after graduating. We haven't been back for a game in probably 3 years and I'm itching for a football game!! We were thinking of doing a last min trip for the Wisc game but its so damn expensive into dsm or cid for a quick weekend trip, plus my family would get pissed if we didn't visit. Probably not in the cards this year...and I hope I get pregnant so next year I could travel with a little one all dressed up in Hawkeye gear!
    You could try pricing for the QC Airport in Moline, it's about 40 minutes from IC, just a thought!
