I used to be on BnB quite a lot but took a break from it due to lots of other things going on. Plus, I really just needed to step back from the broodiness for a while and found that being here wasn't really helping.
Anyway, we are finally getting married in August this year after being together for almost nine years and engaged for three of them! It is so exciting but the wedding stress is really taking it out of me! I hear it'll all be worth it in the end.
The other day I was joking about with the OH about baby names. This is nothing new - we've been talking about baby names for years. I said that it wouldn't be too far away now until we would have to agree on names as the plan had (loosely) had us trying in 2015. At this the OH blurts out that he doesn't think he'll be ready and that it's more likely we won't start TTC or even NTNP until 2016, possibly 2017. I didn't say anything at the time but inside I was having a minor meltdown.
I've already been properly broody for three years and now he's potentially asking me to wait another three! I'm really struggling to stay patient with all the baby and pregnancy announcements on Facebook of people who have been together no where near as long as we have. I know this doesn't really matter but my head tells me it's really unfair!
How do you manage to stay patient during the wait?
