Planning Ahead

So I am doing all this naturopathic stuff recently to prep for pregnancy again. Not sure exactly when we will start trying for #2. I go back and forth between TOMORROW and six to eight months from now.

LM slept through the night the last two nights which does make the fatigue and sickness of pregnancy seem more feasible. But I was so exhausted and sick last time. I'm having a hard time imagining doing that with (a) a full-time job; (school is just as many hours, but there's much more opportunity for procrastination and sleeping in) (b) having a toddler to chase after and (c) have a toddler who does not sleep.

My normal naturopath is very down-to-earth and research oriented. She just went on maternity leave and her replacement is far more new-agey. She does traditional Chinese medicine and cranio-sacral. I'm not sure what I feel about that, but I'm very much of the mindset that it can't hurt and it might help. I'm enjoying it. I did this treatment yesterday called Bowen Therapy (warning skeptics - very little research has been done on its efficacy) and I do feel sooooo much less tense in my back and more relaxed. I'm also doing a bit of a detox as according to them both, this could contribute to the hideous morning sickness I had last time.

Anyway, all to say that babies are on the brain from time to time, but I'd like to work at least one more full year, I think. So for now, the IUD stays put.
