Another baby post

Warning: This post may be too much information for you!

It's no big secret that I want a baby and I want one now. Brad does too but with our health insurance policy, you have to be married one year before any maternity coverage is offered. So that means=no baby until May. Well.....the ladies on my side of the family are, let's just say, VERY fertile. One of them-very close, bloodwise- got pregnant TWICE on birth control. So there is a great chance that I could get pregnant while on birth control, too. For about two weeks, I have had a feeling I was pregnant. Weird symptoms: very scatter-brained, hot flashes, dizziness, being tired, on the edge of tears over nothing (and I NEVER cry!), having no skinny days (ha, don't laugh), etc. But I haven't missed a period yet. I just feel pregnant. Brad says I am making myself have symptoms because I want to be pregnant so bad and maybe I am, I don't know. But anyway, my Dad has a really bad habit of pointing out that I'm not as skinny as I used to be. He is an avid health freak that works out almost everyday, drinks all kinds of protein shakes and crap AND has like 5% body fat. And let me just take up for myself here and say that I am not fat. A little fluffy, sure, but fat? NO! So he walks up to me at work today and says, "My baby's filling out..." I turned about 5 shades of red, gave him a devil look and said, "I'm probably PREGNANT, OK?!?!?!" and almost burst into tears. So yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm turning into a basket case. Psych ward anyone?

Ok. Ok ok ok.....

And, yes everyone..I am the close fertile one, obviously. And I just got preggers once on the pill, for the record! :0)

Please tell Brad I am sorry but I am now going to start pressuring him more on a baby and a car! A baby so then you can get a new car...A new car so I can get a car!

I also want you to have a baby because I think y'all will make amazing parents :)

I used to work with a girl who had a baby for every form of birth control she ever tried.

No kidding. She would say, "That's my pill baby, and this is my condom son. My daughter? She's our sponge girl."

So, you never know. I was off the pill for two weeks when we got pregnant with Miss Priss. You could be Fertile Myrtle, too.

Best of luck!
