For the past 6 months I have had no desire to EVER have another child. Poor Caleb has just waited it out and said basically nothing (as you know it takes a lot for Caleb to be quiet). I honestly hated the first 3 months after Rebecka was born. It was constant crying, either from her or me. The problems with nursing did nothing to help out at all.
But alas the past few weeks I have had a hunger. The desire to be pregnant has hit me. I don't want another baby yet, but REALLY want to be prego. I know they kinda go hand in hand. I owe this new feeling to Kayce. She is so excited about her Doula books and want to talk about it. The guys want nothing to do with it and I love to hear everything. (So, Kayce, you have a fan in me.) She lent me her book, "Birthing From Within". I am only a little ways into it, but it is making me SO want the 'glow' back. I loved being pregnant. I had a great pregnancy. I felt pretty and wonderful. What am I to do?
I have yet to get my monthly visitor back and have been so nervous as to why. I know if you nurse you don't get your menstruation back as soon. But come on! I've been pumping only 3 times a day! It's not as much as every two hours at all, so I think that I should have had the curse back already. (Not that I miss it but it's kinda nice knowing if you are going to reproduce!)
To ease our minds I finally broke down and bought a pregnancy test. And for some reason I only trust Clear Blue. (I think it is their commercials. It's good advertising)
So at the moment thankfully I am not in the family way.Take what you may from this, but I now feel better for say it.
I told you that book was awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry about not having a period. I stopped nursing Glade in April and didn't have a period till the week after her birthday in July.
I am so glad you don't get sick of me talking about all that stuff... I am such a geek. It doesn't help I want a baby so bad and it's not happening, but I am still so glad you don't get sick of hearing about it. Everyone else has ha ha!
(BTW: You were an awesome pregnant woman!!)
Hey sister, you know you can say anything to me. I know I am not the best at advice, but I definitely know the feeling of wanting to be pregnant. There's something about having another spirit growing within you. But as you said before, the little spirit only stays 40 weeks and then they are out in this world and you have a baby on your hands. So I know exactly what you are feeling. I too just started to get the craving to be pregnant again, and my son is only 3 months old. But you know the troubles I have had with two, I would be a wreck with three. Oh well the Lord knows when we are to have more. I just hope we are ready when that time comes.
ReplyDeleteFunny thing, I feel the urge to be pregnant also. But if I was to show up that way, my children would have a cow, and some of them would throw up. So I will just practice making babies--I'll leave the real pregnancy up to you guys. Love you, Brenda, you never cease to amaze me. Rebecka could be having troubles with her gums, but doesn't know how to express it. She just knows it feels different. One of these times when I tell you is teething, she really will be--giggle
