TK’s best friend got engaged and was planning an Ecuadorian wedding for either May or September 2010. TK was the Best Man, but even if he wasn’t, this is a wedding we HAD to go to. Back then, friends were actually more important than trying to conceive – imagine that! I created an excel spreadsheet (surprise, surprise) that calculated what my due date would be based on if we got pregnant in a particular month, and blocked out the months that would leave me in my third trimester for the wedding, when travel would be a no-no.
The wedding ended up being planned for May. So, we were going to start trying in November. Even if we got pregnant on the first try, I would still be only in my second trimester by May. There. It’s settled!
