Oooh, I get to join one of these threads, hurrah! I didn't know about mumsnet until after I had DS1 18 months ago so missed out on all the trying to conceive/pregnancy/childbirth threads. I live overseas and I only found out about mumsnet after reading something in the Daily Fail about how awful it was, and how it was full of bitches. After spending 5 minutes on AIBU, I knew I'd found my people.
Completely changed my mind about having #2 on Saturday (DH was happy to try whenever). We were originally going to wait until next January before trying, so there would be 3 year gap between DS1 and DC2. I'm studying and taking 2 pretty tough exams in November so was thinking logically and figured it would be best to put it off until next year so I could concentrate fully on studying without having my head down a toilet for 12 weeks.
But then my period was 3 days late probably because I'm on this crazy strict paleo Whole30 thing (lost 12lbs in 30 days though, skinnier than I was on my wedding day - don't mention the irony of weight loss for vanity right before pregnancy) and whilst peeing on a stick on Saturday, I realised I was actually quite excited at the possibility of being upduffed. So I decided what the hell, life is too short. I'm very easily swayed, me!
Anyway, period came today finally and we're off to NYC on Sunday for a week so going to shag like teenagers whilst we're there. If we don't fall asleep after all the shopping, eating, drinking and running around after toddler first.
Most excited - good luck to everyone!
