Ok, so if you're like me and you've been trying to conceive for a few months then you all know how crap at times you can feel about the whole "why isn't it happening just yet!".... TTC is so heartbreaking and can really upset you. Especially when you think back to all those years when you were on the BCP's and wonder why on earth you were so damn paranoid about falling pregnant!!!! when it's not that easy!

This bub is taking nearly as long as DD took us.....5 months and counting. (DD took nearly 9)

So lately I've been focusing on ALL the positives this brings.... and there are many! I would like to share:

I'm not pregnant again yet, however this means:

*I can focus more on my gorgeous DD and have more time spent with her before 2nd baby comes along!!
*I can enjoy those foods and the occasional drink which you can't enjoy whilst pregnant!! ie sushi, a beer, cold deli meats etc!! salami -yummo!!
*I can continue breastfeeding my DD without the concern about her weaning early due to me being pregnant or pg affecting my milk supply as it can.
*I can run around chasing DD without having to worry about a big tummy in the way! (besides what's left over from DD's pregnancy hahaha)
*I can enjoy more rest before another newborn comes.
*By the time another baby is born, DD will be that little bit older and will be able to help out even more... ie get the nappy for the baby etc.
* Starting to think that the wider age gap the kids will have will be for the best for our family anyway.....never wanted them too close in age.
*My DD is still very much a baby (18mo) and needs me so much!!
There are so many more!

What are your positives you have while waiting to fall pregnant? There are heaps! I'm really hoping this thread gets some great input and makes some of you out there ttc feel alot better!
