The Trying Part

Sometimes trying to make a baby isn't always convenient. Especially for a couple who have completely opposite work schedules.

D is back on nights, for now. Hopefully it will only be another week or so until he is back on days. Luckily, and unluckily, for the summer, my schedule has been cut down quite a bit leaving me with the chance to go home and catch him before he leaves for work on a few days.

Here's where it gets inconvenient. I happen to be a little old fashioned and I don't like morning or midday sex. I highly favor nighttime for our encounters. However, being that at my ideal time, D is working that means I have no choice but to enjoy at another time of day. Now that's the inconvenient part, here's the part where the dilemma comes in. We live in Southern California, where currently it is close to 100 degrees around the time I get home from work. We have no air conditioner and we live on the second floor of our building. Looking at the thermostat for the heater the needle is on it's side, 90 being the last number. So, we have to push ourselves to give in to passion and try to ignore that we are sweating before any fun has been had.

Inconvenient, yes, hot, yes, cold shower after, definite yes.

Can you tell we really want this baby? Enough of the TMI.

Wishful Thinking

Just as my week of relaxation came to an end, my hopes for the month did also. I started my period today. I haven't cried, I'm not really sad, but it is still hard.

Even though I am not pregnant this month, I haven't lost all hope. There is still time. And now we can begin to begin again.
