I Know Too Much

Yesterday I went to the bathroom and discovered oodles of EWCM, about 3 days earlier than expected. For some, my amounts of EWCM might be TMI and for some it might be WTH . . .

I remember one time in particular when I was walking through my apartment complex and heard two of my SAHM friends talking. One was saying to the other something about "wetness" once a month. I had no idea what they were talking about, especially since I had never paid much attention to my cycles and, er, fluids.

I thought about this yesterday because it made me think about how I now know exactly what this friend was talking about. For some women, pregnancy and becoming a mother happens without having to know everything about everything. So not fair!

Not so for me. I know exactly what EWCM is, what it does, when it happens, and what it means. Even hub knows a little about EWCM.

I know a lot of other things too. Such as: my cycles are 32 days; I ovulate around day 16 of my cycle; I don't have a problem getting pregnant, just staying pregnant; miscarriage takes the fun out of all of it.

My husband came home from church to his sleeping, migrainous wife and told me he thinks it's the right time and the right thing. (which is why we've not been preventing. . . )

Our talk is still cautious ('cause miscarriage takes all the fun out of it, I tell ya!) and we know that we want this, but we're content to just wait and see what happens.
