May 2009: The Book

After getting the ok from my husband, I went out to the bookstore to find some information on baby making and how to best do that. Maybe it could be as easy as a bottle of wine and romp in bed, but I’m not one to leave it to chance. I want to be completely educated on every subject. I want to know if I’m overweight, drink too much coffee and eat too much mercury-laden fish. So, I purchased ‘What to Expect Before You’re Expecting’. It was perfect because it laid out a three month plan to conception. Perfect! I started following the eating plans and leaned a bit more about my cycle and all things fertility. I read all about tracking your cycle, romantic things like cervical mucus, and how to figure out ovulation. There were sections in grey for your husband, which he read. We were golden.
