starting out

There was never a day that i thought "I only want one child".  I always thought i would at least have two, preferably 4.  We were blessed with our little boy without going through any of the trying stuff.  All we had to do was drink a bit too much home made schnapps (ok, well me, i drank too much) and boom!  So, deciding to start 'trying' for a baby was a bit of a foreign concept to us.  And once I had a baby, my gosh it was so challenging and draining that for the first time in my life did i ever think "yea, i could be good with just one".  Then one day, something happened.  I remember it, it was around the 15 month mark when things just got a big easier.  And we both said, yea, we could do another.  But what do we do?

I was lucky to have a great coffee group/antenatal group and all of us seemed to start trying for our second around the same time.  All of the ladies in the group tried for their first.  So, i got all the advice.  Start on day 10 of your cycle and have sex every other day till day 20.  Ok, that is manageable. I went to the dr, got all my checks i needed, got some folic acid,

First month, easy peasy, do the deed as we should and wait.  Then the period comes. Second month, shake it off and get back on it.  period comes.  Third month... wow, who the heck has sex this much?  I am working 3 days a week, my kid STILL doesn't sleep through the night, but I will do it if i have to.  Forth month.  Fifth month.....
