How to stop being so bloody broody?!

I’m sure being stuck at home 24/7 is not helping but my goodness am I broody!

Me and DH were going to TTC after our lovely February wedding - then shit started hitting the fan and we decided to put it on hold.
DH also started a new job end of February and if he wants to be taking 2 weeks off full paid paternity leave we can’t start trying until the first week of October. He could take 2 weeks annual leave however it’d be better if he could take paid paternity leave them some annual leave! So that is a factor playing into our decision.

At the minute it’s so difficult. All day long I dream about our first baby, what will we have? When will I get pregnant? What will we call the baby? What will they look like? What will we be like as parents? And I find myself sad that we won’t be trying until later in the year, we are going to be trying but October feels so far away Sad

Any tips from fellow MN’ers as to what I can do to distract myself until October? Struggling

Enjoy doing/eating all the things you would not be able to do when pregnant! Soft cheese, sushi, wine, steak tartar 😬 Now is a good time to get ahead on a career front (if that's your thing) because once that pregnancy exhaustion hits it will be an uphill climb getting through the day (at least it is for me!).
