It aint broke, but needs fixin'

"It" being the whole, siiiigh, trying to get pregnant thing. I know, we already have three kids. But we want FOUR kids. I've never claimed to be sane (well, maybe once in the 90's while trying to explain my latest love interest). And I also reserve the right to complain about how crazy those rotten and wonderful kids make me and also how I'm not a big fan of actually BEING pregnant. Be warned, there may be a lot of whining and missing of wine involved. Still. Root/pray for me.

Anyhoo, I finally went in to get checked to discover what was amiss. Apparently this is what it was: nothing. The nurse called to give me the results all happy like, but I was like, uh, ok, then please give me a placebo shot/pill and we'll see if we can trick my girl parts into thinking they're "fixed" and operational. Is that an option? Why not?!

Working parts are great! Yay for function! in theory! So why does this make me sad? I guess I wanted them to discover some tiiiiny little glitch, fix it and then I'm back in the babymaking business.

Now I guess we just keep up the good old fashioned trying. Planned passion: it's what's for (after) dinner.

I told you, I am selfishly putting out the "don't get pregnant" vibe so that when I am ready to get prego, you can be prego with me. And I want you to be able to drinik with me in CA! It's all about me, didn't ya know that!!!

Love you!

I'm rooting and praying.
COME ON OVARIES!!! COME ON SPERM!!!
(Please read this as rooting and not being incredibly crass.) GO, Go, GO!!!!
Dear Lord, I ask you to continue to bless my sweet brother and sister-in-law with another child to complete their family and fill their table. There's an empty chair at the table and an empty space in their hearts that they desperately desire to have filled. Oh, and can you please make it a boy, Lord. In Jesus' name....Amen

Well, having never been pregnant and having no plans ever to be... I don't have any advice for you!! But I would suggest just relaxing and letting nature take its course. You've done it before- you will do it again!!

Oh, I highly suggest a great couple of glasses of red wine and a bit of a massage to relax you a bit. It is amazing what a bit of a buzz can do to those girlie parts - especially talking from experience! Now go lay some good eggs girl!

My wife and I tried to get pregnant, and for the first six months it was... "We can't get pregnant! It won't work! Oh no!" Then suddenly, "Hey! I'm pregnant!" I'm sure it'll be the dame for you...it ain't like you haven't done it before? ;)

I'm rooting for you and I think it's great to want to have another baby. I'm excited to see a boy in your family or at least another really cute girl.
Love you!
