Prepping for round two

We always knew we wanted to have our children about 2 years apart. Lately I've been very anxious to get started but for work reasons we really had to wait until May, at the earliest, to try. Having said that, it's been top of mind for a few months now. 

Here are some of the things I'm doing to prepare myself and my body for another pregnancy:

When I went back to work I cut back breastfeeding my son (then 11 months) to twice a day, morning and night. My doctor told me to keep nursing him at least until winter and cold and flu season ended. Shortly after he turned 13 months I felt like he was becoming less interested and like I was producing very little milk. He would nurse for maybe 2 1/2 minutes on each side and be done. Then I ended up having to take antibiotics that are not okay when breastfeeding... So I made the decision to just quit nursing at the beginning of April. I always wanted to stop a little before getting pregnant again so I could have my body to myself, at least briefly, before giving up control again. It felt like the right decision, I shed a few tears and my son never asked for it again! 

I've been taking prenatals since we were TTC#1. 

I've cut way back on my evening wine. I'm having maybe one or two glasses per MONTH. 

No more caffeinated coffee. Decaf and various herbal teas only.

Taking my iron supplements - I'm perpetually anemic.

Eating healthy! Drinking homo milk with my son (I can use the extra fat/calories).

And finally, charting!
