Choices
So we had an unsuccessful month ttc and now I’m not sure if we even should be trying. I want a baby but I am panicking – can I handle three children, are we going to be poor trying to raise three children, will I be able to work less so I can have time to actually spend with my kids. The boys are at such a great age right now – I really enjoy them and maybe I should just be concentrating on what we have as a family, instead of complicating things.
Plus, work isn’t much fun lately and I’m thinking about making changes but I wouldn’t want to have a baby just after changing jobs and I don’t know if I could even find a “better” job that would give me more flexibility to be with the kids. But maybe I could so I am torn. Maybe I should just have a baby soon and then worry about what to do career-wise.
Life is never easy is it? Good thing my life is pretty happy overall – I think I just worry way too much. Still, we may wait on having a third baby just now – it can’t hurt to give it a couple of months to make sure the choice is right for us.

Not the First Try
I guess this first month of ttc is going to be a bust. Impatient tester that I am I took tests on 8, 10 and 11 dpo – all big fat negatives – YUCK!!!! My temp dived a bit today and I expect it to go down even more tomorrow so I’m not even taking any more tests and I’ll just have to prepare to try some more. DM should be happy!!
Xander had an eye infection this past weekend and when we went to the doc on Monday it turned out he was developing an ear infection too, poor baby. He has eye ointment and antibiotics and today he was able to go back to daycare. I missed two days of work, but they were sunny and relaxing days which was nice. Isaiah stayed home too and we went to the park and stuff. Now I only have three days of work this week and next week is a holiday on Monday, so only 4 days then!
I’m booking the girls’ spa weekend for my friends and I today – so that’s something to look forward to, plus of course I have a week off in July for sure and hopefully one in August too. Hopefully by the end of the summer I will have a lovely little baby growing and I can make my plans that way. Well, I’m kind of behind at work after missing days, so I better go work!

Go Oilers Go!!!!!!
First I have to say – Go Oilers! It’s game 3 of the second round of playoffs – our home team managed to beat the top ranked team in our conference to get into the second round, but now they’re down 2-0 in round 2 – so I have to cheer them on for tonight’s home game. Let’s hope the Sharks can’t swim in Oil tonight!
Now, for me, my temp was much better this morning. I’ve been stressing myself out because it wasn’t quite where I wanted it, but today’s temp was nice. This is when I know I’m an obsessed TTC’er, when I fret over 0.3 of a degree. Well I’m 6 dpo so only another 6-8 days of stressing and I’m either pg or onto cycle #2 of trying for baby #3!!!
Today is a happy day for another reason. My girlfriends and I are trying to plan a girls’ getaway weekend in September. I think we’ve found the perfect place, a nice hotel in Kananaskis that offers a tailored package for girls’ weekends. They offer a fondue, spa credits, dining credits, valet parking and even a pyjama party with movies and popcorn! Should be fun.
