Making a house a home.

 

It's always the little things in life that bring the most simple joys.

A freshly baked cake nicely scenting the kitchen and fresh handpicked flowers are just an example.

A person can live anywhere but it's the small things that make a house a home.

Things are good here right now.

Really good to the point I worry what may go wrong.

I have a beautiful little family, a lovely house, things are going well and I have made up with an old friend. We exchanged some "sorry's" and back on good terms.

I'm happy in my world.

Hubby and I have been talking more about another child. It won't be this year, maybe not next year even but we 100% commited to having another baby in the next few years. I'd like another child before I'm 35.

Once we can raise the deposit on the house and begin to make some changes, then it could be all go. It is just space stopping us now, even with our talk last night with me telling hubby it would probably be a year* before I get to have a regular cycle again, so we could be looking at 2 years to prepare if we were to stop my birth control by not having the next injection at the end of next month.

Of course, it may not happen. I am incredibly blessed with the 3 little boys I have now and I do feel little guilty about planning baby number 4 when many blogs I read are struggling for baby 1. I've been reading forums on conceiving after the depo shot and they vary so much. Some people fall pregnant straight away, others struggle. I've been lucky with my fertility in the past but that's not to say it will be that way a fourth time. Some fall pregnant in less than 6 months, others are still trying after 2 or 3 years. I guess as long as there's a chance then it's worth  a go.

It would just be so amazing to have another little boy or a little girl in the family.

I've been broody for a while but been looking for reasons to not have a baby - I just couldn't convince myself 100% not to feel broody.

My friend recently gave birth and with my sister in law due to give birth next month that's 2 of my bridesmaids having babies close together. Another couple we know are due to have their 4th child in the new year so it's been so hard not to get carried away thinking. "maybe we could have just one more". And with so many others trying to conceive, it's something I just couldn't forget about.

* A year before I get my body back to normal after depo provera shot since it takes around half the time you've been on it to get it cycle regular again. October will be 2 years since I started on it.
