20th October 2005
I had to go back to the dietitian this week & now have to do the full elimination diet. That means that I have to cut everything but very plain food which has no or limited natural chemicals out of my diet. Then I add different chemical groups back into my diet under the dietitians control. I told her we were trying to have a baby and she thought about it for a while then said that would be OK. I just need to make sure I vary my diet within what Im allowed to eat, and take my multivitamins. It will be hard, because it is a pretty boring diet, but I can't function being so tired and going to the bathroom all the time!
We are hoping to fall pregnant before Xmas, and have decided how we are going to tell our families. Dave will have a 'special present' to give me at each of our families houses. Wrapped up in a nice box with a pretty bow will be a baby jumpsuit. "Oh how sweet! Their first jumpsuit!" I really feel like this is more likely to happen sooner rather than later. I am actually going to buy the presents and wrap them up ready. I figure preparing is better than visualizing, because then I am admitting that it is really going to happen. Im going to put it in silver wrap, not Xmas wrap, because we may get to tell them for my birthday rather than Xmas!
I think about it a lot now, and even though it has only been a couple of weeks, Im not so scared now. Im not getting those nervous feelings in my belly anymore. Its just a warm, happy feeling now, and I can't help but smile, even some times get a little teary. I can tell how happy Dave is too. He actually talks about it, which is unusual for a start. We talk about a lot, but he usually avoids anything serious. But its more in what he ways and how he says it. Like which room will be the babys room, and we will have to keep the cat away from the baby when they are sleeping. Everything is positive, and he says it excitedly.
I keep going to say 'she' and I feel like that isn't right. Neither of us care at all if we have a boy or a girl. Dave says he would like one of each, but doesn't care what order. I don't care if we have two of the same, of either sex. I know if it happened like that Dave wouldn't care either really. Just girls & boys give you different kinds of love and affection, and given the choice, he would like to experience both. We also wouldn't care if we were blessed with twins, that would also be a wonderful thing. And it does run in BOTH of our families, one side of each family. And although i genuinely don't have a preference, I keep seeing, thinking and saying 'she'. Dave says its because everyone we know has had girls, but I feel like Az & Nic are having a boy. Maybe I should just go with it instead of fighting it. But I am worried people will think I am disappointed if it is a boy & I have been saying 'she'. Or maybe I should just bit my tongue!
