I had this whole list of things I wanted to blog about, well-thought-out reasons not to have a second child. I even wrote it down. But… somehow I don’t feel like it anymore. Which is convenient, since I had my annual exam on Thursday and got to ask all my IUI questions.

First things first: Our close friends moved to Switzerland. They have an extra bedroom and we have air miles and there is no way I’m passing up an opportunity to ski in Switzerland for practically free. But when we get back…

I call the office on the first day of my period to get them to set things up with the lab. Then I use an OPK and when it turns positive, I go in the next day, A provides the sample, they clean and insert it, I lie there for half an hour, start Crinone that night, repeat the next day, then wait to see what happens. Sounds easy, right?

Now I just have to hope the gods don’t fuck with me for 1) thinking of not trying to have a second child and 2) thinking that I have control over this conception thing and putting off trying in order to take a vacation.
