Welcome to the newest addition to the LOVEVULTURE blogs. This one here will be about the future first sibling of Isabella. No, Alex & I are not TTC (trying to conceive) yet, but we are preparing for it way ahead of time this time around for several reasons:
- Alex recently made 2nd class (E-5! Yaaaay!!), but pay won’t kick in just yet.
- Also because of the previous reason, we will be transferring within the next year and don’t want to have to deal with the inconvenience of Alex having to fly to us for the birth in case I am too far along to be responsibly permitted on an airplane (or to travel far, in general)
- I am so close (about 5 pounds) from my goal weight, and I want to be able to maintain it for a couple of months (and to be active and working out on a daily basis or just be plain healthy all-around) before taking on the cons of pregnancy concerning cravings and workout limitations
- I want to get another tattoo (a larger one) while I still can (because I won’t be able to later due to safety regulations imposed by tattooists & available funds after the baby is born)
- I also want to go to Kings Dominion and ride every single (or almost every single) thrill ride there
Well, those are all that I could think up at the moment. But, yeah, we’re not trying until October at the earliest although we dislike condoms & don’t see a point in taking BCP (birth control pills) now just to only be on them for a couple of months and then waiting for a couple regular cycles before we hit the jackpot, if ya know what I mean *wink wink*.
For now, though, I must put baby number one down for a nap. Bis Spaeter, alligator.
…Yep.
