Nesting

Okay, basically he told me less than a month ago the date we would start trying for a baby. In that time, I’ve collected fabric and started making gender neutral quilts, car seat covers, and diaper sleeves for cloth diapers. Oh, the colors are so great, ya’ll. Teals, Lime greens, Dark blues, black, white, yellows, lavenders, and the patterns are flowers, dots, swirls, damask prints, and graphic prints. The colors say “boy” but the patterns are slightly feminine. It’s just all sorts of perfect. Oh, and I found some stretch knits in the same colors and started making baby slings. (Moby wraps) Oh, and All in One diapers that match everything!
Master is drowning in estrogen.
I’m also about to start researching fertility doctors. I’m in my 30s. 35 is the age where women see increased infertility, and a 1 in 378 chance of having a child with some sort of special need. So we’re not kidding ourselves about the risks of waiting to have gotten pregnant. But I’m thinking I might need a fertility boost. The women in my family are good at conception and bad at carrying to term. I was my mother’s 9th attempt. She was my grandmother’s 5th attempt at a second child. My mother didn’t have me until she was 30. My grandmother had my mom when she was 37. My Aunt on my mom’s side had her first baby when she was 43.
But anyway, yeah… We’re just being extremely positive and we’ve decided that if I don’t get pregnant after we’ve tried for 6 months, we’ll get fertility help. If we don’t get pregnant in 6 months after that, we’re going to adopt. If that doesn’t work out, I’ll cry for a while and then adopt a lot of unfortunate tiny puppies who will be forced to wear clothes.
