Whew! Glad you were able to get in and get the antibiotics - not always
easy to do this time of year.
Conception is always a 'shot in the dark' and babies have a way of
showing up when they want and not always when you plan for them so try
not to make it too much of a chore - romance each other, be flirtatious
and take advantage of the season to be creative and really attentive to
each other, light some candles, have a glass of wine, some cheese and
fruit, put on your favorite music and have a picnic on the living room
floor it gets all the right hormones flowing in all the right directions
and that can only help... can you think of a better way to start a
life... if so, do it, rest, rinse and repeat (and don't forget to pee
before and after!)
Chronicles of Narnia is on my list of movies to see, it looks pretty
spectacular.
Happy New Year to you.
