We're waiting because DH isn't quite ready yet - he just wants some time to get used to the idea and to feel like he's got a handle on his life in terms of being organised. However, January 2010, is a fairly arbitrary time frame in which he figures he'll either be 'sorted' by then or never will be. So we will be TTC in January regardless of whether various things are ticked off the list.
Whilst I would happily TTC now (and my hormones so want me to!!), the 7 months wait will give me time to:
- lose some weight
- attempt to learn to drive again
- find a job
I really hope I can achieve those hitngs. But if I'm still an overweight, jobless non-drive in January, we're going for it anyway. We're both over 30, we have a nice house that we love, we're in a stable relationship and have a good support network of friends so I don't see any reason why not!
