Going for Number 2!

[Sassygirl]

I know... crazy right?! LOL
Currently I am 11 weeks along so I am at the eating, and peeing all the time, tired and nauseaus stage.
My older children are 15, 13, and 10 and my youngest is 16months.
I have 4 FT daycare kiddos aged 11-18 months.
Thankfully they all still nap twice a day so for the hour in the morning I clean up a bit and prep lunch then I rest on the couch. For afternoon nap which is 2-3 hours I will admit that I may have a little snooze on the couch for a half hour with the monitors on of course.
As for the morning sickness, I usually do it first thing right after my shower so its out of the way LOL. Things have gone a little more relaxed around here. We have slowed down with walks as its too tough for me to push a double stroller AND pull a wagon at the same time. Lots of backyard time though and we go for walks after my older kiddos get home from school which is right after nap/snack so its perfect.
I have my 12 week ultrasound and genetic testing this Friday so provided all goes well, I will be sending home my announcement Friday night.
I am hoping to keep going until baby comes and keep all my clients as we need the $$$. Of course, I am playing it by ear as well.
Good luck to you... Hope this helps!

Hi,

How old are you? I ask because we are TTC with #2 and I will be 41 next month.
We have been trying for 3 weeks straight and I have my cycle start this Friday. Praying that it won't come! Scared too as I hear there is a slim chance of conceiving naturally at my age!

Was my question not answered because it was to personal?

Hi im checking in here late ..... I have 5 kids also .... My fourth born a week before I turned 40 and my 5th when I was closer to 42. The key is knowing exactly when you ovulate because at this age the egg is only viable for one day versus 4 or 5 days when you are in your twenties so your window of opportunity is very slim. Also make sure your husband is not going in hot tubs. You need to pin point when you ovulate also because having sex everyday depletes the amount of sperm it's better to have it every other day. If your taking your temperature then the day your temp goes up its too late. I did not know this when I was trying and thought it was the day to try. Hope this helps. Good luck

I'm 36. I am also still nursing my 16 month old 3-4 times a day. We basically haven't been using anything since he was born. I have had 2 miscarriages previous to this pregnancy at the 5-6 week point.
Good luck!!!
