Beating the horse

So once again I am back on a baby kick. There are a couple of very bad things assisting this problem. #1. My hubby. He tells me daily to go to the doctor and get rid of my birth control so we can get pregnant like...tomorrow. #2. We have insurance now, pretty good insurance actually and therefore my main stance against pregnancy has just been kicked out from under me. Oh joy. I know we will be getting pregnant but when is the deciding factor...and can I do this?!?! There are needles...and PAIN involved. And I'm not just talking about the labor/delivery part...in my mothers words an eternity of pain will follow. Do I really want to do this? Yup. I must be a glutton for punishment. Oh joy.

So basically readers what I ask of you is how do you prepare? Where should I look? Ya see, I am a compulsive planner. I like knowing every aspect of every detail and being prepared for multiple outcomes. Not a big surprise person. Unless they are good and someone can sneak them up on me without me finding out (and good luck on that part).

  1. Well, I have NO advice on parenting, seeing as how I am parentless, and I don't have a lot of advice on getting ready for a baby either, since we're going about the whole preparing-for-baby thing the adoption way, but if you want books to read and stuff on how to optimize your chances of getting pregnant, I'm your gal. :) (And yeah, I know I'm not pregnant, but that's not the book's fault.)

  2. Plan all you want. Though I feel I should warn you that when it come to babies things hardly ever go the way you plan them.

  3. From what I have heard from many people a good book to read is "What to Expect When Expecting" Also there is a website by that Author http://www.whattoexpect.com/what-to-expect/landing-page.aspx

  4. What to Expect Before You're Expecting is a good pre-pregnancy book. :)
