***Monday 12/13 QOTD***
This is my first QOTD so bare with me!
TTC is stressful, i have a posted a few times during this process about how stressful it it, we have been TTCing since the end of June.
Sooo..
So how do you and DH unwind to help relieve some of the stress of TTCing?
DH and i make it a habit to sit down every night for dinner and we relax on the couch before bed after DD is in bed for a little us time.

Re: ***Monday 12/13 QOTD***
We go out on dates all the time....we've been TTC for a couple of months and I can't say this has taken its toll on us yet.
I keep reminding myself that this "alone" time is precious and we'll never get it back once we are blessed with a little one. That helps alot

i love this!
the first time we conceived was so easy - i stopped the pill and it happened right away, i was pregnant within 3 weeks from stopping bcps. but then at 9 weeks we lost it....
now i am recovering from a d&c and my doc wants us to wait 3 cycles before going for it again. the thought of waiting 3 cycles stinks and i have a feeling it's not going to happen as easily as last time (on top of the fact i'll be a wreck when it does!) so honestly it is already creating some stress...
but you have a great outlook and i will remember that. this is time we can share together. we are actually planning a mini vacation after the holidays - something for us to look foward to other than getting pregnant...
so my new thing is trying to look foward to other things, and enjoying our time together in the meantime...hopefully that helps this process be less stressful...and hopefully the next 3 months or so goes quick for me  i am not a patient person so this is hard hard stuff for me...

drink lots of wine
so funny... that was my answer too!
seriously though we really like trying new wines together and it's something we obvs can't do while I'm pregnant so we get in as much as we can now!

Re: ***Monday 12/13 QOTD***
So glad there's a FMOTW again!!!
Great question! We're on to cycle 6 and we've had months where it really was too much. We've gotten much better these past few months. We try at least once a month to take an overnight trip somewhere just to get away. We also go out to dinner about once a week. We can't always do it, but Ive been making an effort to remove the pressure from the situation by just letting things happen.
It can get really tough sometimes though.

Good question Taryn!
Honestly, I don't have an answer! As the months pass I am finding it harder and harder to de-stress. A glass of wine here and there never hurts though
