Talking about baby things..

I used to joke with DH about baby names..I even used to browse the childrens clothing section looking for a cute outfit..even pondered buying some stuff..

Now, I cant even think about it...i feel like ill jinx myself.

I cant even participate on a chat on TTC about baby names, baby clothes, traditions I will start with my little one.
I just cant even talk about it.

I feel very awkward talking about a baby when I am not even close to having one.


Also with the holidays, I feel like EVERYTHING is baby realted!

Even SNL had a few baby/ pregnancy skits lately.

I just cant get away from it.

Don't feel bad, I have my moments of not wanting to jinx anything. I have personified AF. I refuse to buy extra pads, so after AF is gone I give my extra ones to my cousin. Having extra ones around makes me feel like I am inviting AF to come.

Now that I actually say it out loud, I have lost my freaking mind!

Re: Talking about baby things..

Sometimes I feel like I'll get pregnant, but I can't even imagine having a baby at this point because just getting pregnant seems impossible. I used to talk and say, "when we have kids..." Now I obsessively knock on wood if I even mention anything at all. Also, I used to frequently dream about having a baby. I would see the baby in different contexts, and now I never dream of having a baby. Even in my subconscious, I know being pregnant and actually having a baby is a far off concept.

I try to stay positive. I really do. I truly hope everyday I will get pregnant, but I do not KNOW that I will. Money will run out and I assume we'd have to give up at some point. I have many different roads to go down first, but it is not a guarantee.

I think all we can do right now is be positive and look ahead. I always have to know what I'm doing next. I find a clear timeline makes the time go by faster until the next cycle.

Good luck!

Don't feel bad.. i do the same thing

i can't talk about baby names, clothing or how i'll decorate a room

it's just too painful of a reminder of what i don't have and i don't feel comfortable being so lighthearted about something that is causing us so much stress and heartache.

I think we all deal with things our own way.. some people can talk about it, some can't!

don't feel bad about it though
