Screaming ovaries

Posted Wednesday, April 02, 2008 9:48 PM

So as we continue to work on and finish projects in the house, I can't help but look in that small bedroom that is so perfectly situated across the hall from ours and sigh.  We do call it the "future nursery", however it is far from being a comfortable conversation with us (of course, we do need to finish our other projects first, which is a very smart point DH makes when I bring it up). 

It so doesn't help that I work in a NICU and take care of everyone else's baby.  My ovaries are constantly screaming, and the other nurses are always asking when I'll be in the family way. 

It's not like I'm ready this absolute second to pop one out, however each day I'm feeling a little more maternal, and the poor dog has to deal with being carried around the house on my hip!  He's good natured enough about it and I think he's even begining to like it a little Smile

Every now and then I'll bring it up to the hubby, and he is even begining to point out cute babies in restaurants and will humor me by walking through the baby aisles at Target (super cute summer stuff BTW).  He even looked through the design ideas for nurseries here on thenest and pointed out some that he liked!  However, I think he's hoping for a "perfect" moment, where he's comfortable with his job and his career track and money is good, but I don't think he realizes that it could take a lot of time and there's no harm in trying Wink When will it ever be the perfect moment??  Right now, we aren't in a bad place...

Who knows, I have three more packets of pills under the sink upstairs, we'll see if any more show up in their place....

re: Screaming ovaries

I was looking at your bio and I had a trolley for my wedding too. I thought it was so much better than a limo and we got some great pictures with that in the background...if only I wasn't too lazy to upload them in my bio. I am a fellow NYer too. Originally from Binghamton, but now up way north. I love the Rochester area though!

re: Screaming ovaries

I'm with you on the "screaming ovaries."  I swear, every time I get near a precious little baby, my hormones go CRAZY!  I always say that "there's so much that we want to do before starting a family..."  Sometimes I feel like parenting may be the greatest adventure of all.  Most of our friends have children, so sometimes I feel a little left out.  On the other hand, we have that much more freedom than our friends.

Alot of people have told me that if you're waiting for the right time (financially & mentally), there is none.  I don't know about that!  I feel like me & DH have planned well, and any time would be good.  However, I've been off the pill for almost a year and haven't even really had a close call (not that we're "trying").  So, it can take some time.  I can't understand how some people just "get pregnant, out of nowhere," it seems so easy for everyone else, I just worry that we may have problems?

We have talked about TTC, even kindof set a time frame (after summer vacation).  Now I don't bring it up quite as much, but I also feel a little nervous... How do you know when you're really ready?  Sometimes I feel like I want one now, sometimes later.  One thing that I've always said is that I want to be done by 30, well I turned 27 in January, so hopefully once we do try, it will come as easily as it does for everyone else that we know.  Well, sorry to rattle on.  Good luck to you & hubby with whatever/whenever you decide!  I hope it all works out perfectly!

re: Screaming ovaries

I'm sorry, but I just saw the title of the post and I think "Screaming Ovaries"  would be the best name for a female rock band.
