2 Years

2 years ago TODAY I found out I was pregnant with this little baby, whom I had yet to meet and had no idea would change my life in the (bestest) way that it {he} has!!! (read that post here)
The reason I know the exact date without even thinking about it is because I found out the day before I was supposed to host a pledging party (a phi o thing from college) at my house! And that day is today!!
In relation to this exciting anniversary I would like to announce that I have gotten my period ON MY OWN for 3 months in a row (sorry if that was TMI, but really that is why I started this blog, to talk openly about infertility and my trials and triumphs!)
After I had Chasen I got my period a couple times on my own then didn't get it for 4 months so I went to my OBGYN and she called in the progesterone pills to force me to have a period (this is not to be confused with the clomid I took to get pregnant) and ever since I took that one dose I have been regular and haven't needed to take it to get my period.
I think that my body has {maybe} regulated itself, in a way.
Absent periods are only one of the MANY signs and symptoms of PCOS. But I have been working hard at eating healthy and working out (some) and maybe it has worked!!
We have been thinking about trying for #2 and have been crunching numbers to determine how we could afford for me to stay home or for 2 kids to go to a better more expensive daycare.
I think our daycare is fine, but would like my children to go somewhere where they will learn more and not just play all day.
any way
I feel like maybe this is God's way of telling me that we should try to have a baby now since my body is "ready" and working and not wait for all the cards to fall into place.
I have had so many people tell me that we shouldn't wait (to long) because we could miss our chance.
and I dont want that at all, I've been told to base my decision on what we want as a family, which is 3 (or so) kids close(r) in age.
when you put it that way it seems like such an easy answer....
but, Im just not sure.
I want another baby, I just dont know how to decide when I want it and I feel like since my body is working we are wasting a valuable opportunity by not trying....

Im sure in 2 years from now I will look back at this post and laugh thinking what was I so worried and confused about.. you want another baby...so have one....


*disclaimer* in no way am I announcing that we are trying for #2 just blogging out loud about us deciding to maybe try.
